ASME RTP-1 Wind & Seismic Calculations

The document outlines the inputs and calculations for wind pressure and seismic load according to NBC 2020 standards. It includes factors such as importance, exposure, topography, and gust effects for wind pressure, as well as spectral responses and mass factors for seismic loads. Additionally, it covers freeboard calculations and overturning checks for both empty and full conditions.

Importance Factor (Ie) 1
Total Weight (W) 1000

Seismic Load Calculation


Seismic Base Shear (V) = S(Ta) * Mv * Ie * W / (Rd * Ro) 0

Seismic Sloshing Calculations


Seismic Convective Period (Tc) = Cs * sqrt(HL/g) 0
Seismic Impulsive Period (Ti) 0
SRSS Equivalent Acceleration 0

Freeboard Calculation (API 650 Considerations)


Minimum Freeboard Height (Typical) = 1.5 * Hs 0

Overturning Checks (Wind & Seismic - Empty & Full Conditions)


Overturning Moment (Wind - Empty) = Wind Load * H 0
Overturning Moment (Wind - Full) = Wind Load * H 0
Overturning Moment (Seismic - Empty) = V * H 0
Overturning Moment (Seismic - Full) = V * H 0
Resisting Moment (Empty) = DL * (D/2) 0
Resisting Moment (Full) = (DL + LL) * (D/2) 0
Overturning SF (Empty) = Resisting Moment / MAX(Wind, Seism 0
Overturning SF (Full) = Resisting Moment / MAX(Wind, Seismic) 0
