Seismic-Compliant Beverage Tank Design -- 2
Budget: $10 – $30 AUD
Hi There Superstars!
I have a few beverage tanks that are currently just in the bidding phase.
I need someone with a bit of expereincce or a keen eye to have a look at the current design and determine if we need to do more to accomodate seismic requirements for NZ.
I've beefed up the legs, doubling plate for the legs and the bottom cone. And just conisdering whether we need to add stiffeners.
My feeling is the tanks are good as they are now.
If you can do a quick ansys or similar, and pick out a average earthquake zone in new zealand and see if it passes.
We also have an option to increase the diameter to 2800 and reduce the hieght, but ideally we wouldn't.
We don't have and specifications for the slab, so we cannot consider any dampning effects from the slab/ground setup.
We do have control over the anchors, so if you know how to design that, then we can consider any dampening from them.
I have attached a drawing for two sized tanks. 25 m3 and 30 m3. I've allowed extra Freeboad, but it's just a guess.
We need to have some rough design, so we can make a budget costing for our customer, who we are in partnership to finalise this bid.
Detailed design comes later. And is a seperate project.
Feel free to ask me any questions.
