ASME RTP-1 Tank Design Parameters

The document outlines design input parameters for a tank, including dimensions, pressures, material properties, and load factors. It also details calculations for wind, seismic, and snow loads, as well as freeboard and overturning checks. All calculated values are currently set to zero, indicating that further input or data is required for completion.

Wind Load Calculation (NBC 2020)


Wind Pressure (Pw) = Iw * q * Ce * Ct * Cg * Cp 0
Wind Load on Tank = Pw * D * H 0

Seismic Load Calculation (NBC 2020)


Seismic Base Shear (V) = S(0.2) * (W / (Rd * Ro)) 0
Seismic Sloshing Period (Ts) = Cs * sqrt(HL/g) 0
Seismic Sloshing Wave Height (Hs) = αs * Ts^2 0

Snow Load Calculation (NBC 2020)


Roof Snow Load (S) = Is * Cb * Cw * Sg 0
Freeboard Calculation
Minimum Freeboard Height = 1.5 * Hs 0

Overturning Checks for Wind and Seismic


Overturning Moment (Wind) = Wind Load * H 0
Overturning Moment (Seismic) = V * H 0
Resisting Moment = DL * (D/2) 0
Overturning Safety Factor (SF) = Resisting Moment / MA 0
