Allowable stresses
S = 0.5 x Re hence, S = 15000 psi 103.42136 N/mm2
Max. moment
For Longitudinal ML Max. of Wind and Seismic = 1041554 lb.inch 182465.4 N.mm
For Transverse MT Max. of Wind and Seismic = 596723.6 lb.inch 104537.47 N.mm
Check for the Anchor Bolts due to seismic and wind loading
1) For longitudinal forces FL
Shear Stress T = FL/ A = 7901.8569 psi 54.499712 N/mm2
Design is safe

Maximum Horizontal Shear Force calculation (Seismic & Wind Load)
1) Longitudinal Direction
FLS = 13227.73 lb
2) Transverse Direction
FTS = 7578.39 lb
Greater of Q1, Q2 , or QT
QT = 55115.56 lb
Q1 = Qo + QR = 56971.49 lb
Q2 = Qo + QL = 56545.59 lb
QR = (3 x FT x B)/A = 1855.932 lb
K1 = 0.815583 fh =
fh = 387.2084 lb
fh/Area = 144707.6
Rearranging the equation
We get h = tw * SQRT [(1500/fh)(18000 tw - fh )]
h = 63.42459 inch
C = 19.68504 inch
Design of Base plate
Therefore N = 9.038058
Using Stiffeners N = 10
The stiffener (rip plate) thickness (ts) is 3/8" (9.5 mm) min. for vessels up to 6 ft (1830 mm) in diameter , and 1/2 " for vessels with diameter larger than 6 ft.
Therefore using tr = 0.5 inch
Ss = 21.26815 inch
