tR + C.A. = 20.63 mm
As per API Sec. 3.10.5.1 the Maximum thickness for self supported roof is 12.5mm (excluding corrosion allowance)
but due to high value of calculated roof thickness, it is proposed to provide supported roof.
Used thickness = 10.00 mm

Roof developed radius Rr = 6.85 m
Roof developed Area Ar = 147.5 m2

Weight of Roof (corroded) = 77.22 KN

Roof is designed as a supported cone roof. The system of rafters is provided to support the roof plate. The rafters are
supported at tank shell and load is transferred to tank periphery.
Maximum Spacing of Rafters at Outer Ring = 0.6 * π

Self Wt. of roof plate Wr = 0.78 KN/m 2

Design load for roof plate shall be comprising of roof live load and the total dead load acting on the roof.
Roof Plate Design Load wp = Lr + Wr = 1.98 KN/m2 = 0.29 psi
Assuming width of roof plate 1 inch and calculating the bending moment for strip if roof plate 1 inch wide.
Roof Plate Span l = 69.7 inch
Design load/ length w = wp x b = 0.29 lbs/inch
Bending Moment At Mid Span Mc = wl2 = 58.035 lbs inch
24
Bending Moment At Supports Ms = wl2 = 116.07 lbs inch

Bolt Connection Stress Analysis

Ultimate Dead Load on the roof including Live Load + Self Weight of Roof + Weight of Accessories, g
gu = Lr + Dr
= 2.24 Mpa ( Refer to 5.3. Design of Compression Ring)

Radial Load transferred to the end of the rafter

gu x πD2
Hr =
4Ls*N2
Where;
D = Tank Diameter = 13.5 m
N2 = Number of Rafter = 24
Ls = Length of Rafter = 6.03 m

Hr = 2.22 KN/m

By applying this load on the rafter

Max. Shear Force Induce,P = 6.12 KN (from STAAD result)

Now, calculating the Shear Stress for 3/4"-10 x 1- 1/2" Hex. Head Bolt, A193-B7.

F = P/A

Where;
A = Bolt Shear Area = 0.7854 ( D-(0.9743/n))2
A= 0.334 in2 = 215.48 mm2
But there are two bolts in this connection, therefore, A = 430.97 mm2

Induced Shear Stress on Bolt

F = 14.20 Mpa

As per ASTM 193

Min. Tensile Strength, Fu = 485 Mpa (Ref. ASTM A193 Table 3)

Allowable Stress;
Shear Stress ( Ref. Table I-D AISC Allowable Stress Design, 9th Edition)
Fv = 0.17 Fu
Fv = 82.45 Mpa > Induced Stress
Allowable Stress of Bolt is greater than the required maximum stress for the connection.
Therefore, the provided Bolt is SAFE and ADEQUATE.
