1 Dia of tank d = 3.6 m
2 Height of tank H = 3.2 m
3 Cone height H1 = 0.5 m
Calculation of wind velocity as per IS 875 (P3-1987)
4 Basic wind speed Vb = 44 m/s
5 Risk Coefficient k1 = 1
6 Terrain, ht, stru. Size Coefficient
as per Class B, terrain category 2 k2 = 0.98
7 Topography Factor k3 = 1
Design Wind Speed Vz = 43.12 m/s
= 156 km/hr
8 Designwind pr 1115.601 N/m2
9 Inward drag associated with open tank
as per cl. 3.9.7.1(a)- API 650 = 240 N/m2
10 Total external Pressure P = 1355.601 N/m2
As per cl. 3.9.7.1(a)- API 650 formula for for max. ht. of unstiffened shell is based on total
external pressure of 1720 N/m2 which is result of wind velocity of 160km/hr.
Equivalent wind velocity corresponding to wind pr. Of 1355.601 N/m2 is calculated by
11 V = 142.0436 km/hr
As a conservative consideration design wind vel. = 156 km/hr
