Wind Loads And Anchor Bolt Design For Petrochemical Facilities

Prepared by theØTask Committee on Wind-Induced Forces and Task Committee on Anchor Bolt Design of the Petrochemical Committee of the Energy Division of ASCE. This report presents state-of-the-practice set of guidelines for the determination of wind-induced forces and the design of anchor bolts for petrochemical facilities. Current codes and standards do not address many of the structures found in the petrochemical industry. As a result, engineers and petrochemical companies have independently developed procedures and techniques for handling engineering issues such as the twoØcontained in this report. A lack of standardization in the industry has led to inconsistent structural reliability, however. This volume is intended for structural design engineers familiar with design of industrial-type structures.

These committee reports provide state-of-the-practice guidelines for the determination of wind induced forces and the design of headed, cast-in-place anchor bolts for petrochemical facilities. The basis and procedures for determining wind induced forces for enclosed structures and other conventional structures are addressed, in addition to load components such as force coefficients, tributary areas, and shielding for industrial-type structures and equipment. Topics include comparisons of current design practices, recommended guidelines, examples, and research needs of pipe racks, open frame structures, and pressure vessels. The second report evaluates current petrochemical industry anchor bolt design methods, proposed changes and new releases of design codes, and provides recommendations that supplement current codes for design of headed, cast-in-place anchor bolts. Subject areas include the current state of research, grades, fabrication and welding, corrosion, bolt configuration and dimensions, distribution of anchor bolt forces, checking critical modes of failure, pier design/reinforcing, pretensioning, and considerations for vibratory and seismic loads.

The recent worldwide boom in industrial construction and the corresponding billions of dollars spent every year in industrial, oil, gas, and petrochemical and power generation project, has created fierce competition for these projects. Strong management and technical competence will bring your projects in on time and on budget. An in-depth explorat

Onshore Structural Design Calculations: Energy Processing Facilities provides structural engineers and designers with the necessary calculations and advanced computer software program instruction for creating effective design solutions using structural steel and concrete, also helping users comply with the myriad of international codes and standards for designing structures that is required to house or transport the material being processed. In addition, the book includes the design, construction, and installation of structural systems, such as distillation towers, heaters, compressors, pumps, fans, and building structures, as well as pipe racks and mechanical and electrical equipment platform structures. Each calculation is discussed in a concise, easy-to-understand manner that provides an authoritative guide for selecting the right formula and solving even the most difficult design calculation. Provides information on the analysis and design of steel, concrete, wood, and masonry building structures and components Presents the necessary international codes and calculations for the construction and the installation of systems Covers steel and concrete structures design in industrial projects, such as oil and gas plants, refinery, petrochemical, and power generation projects, in addition to general industrial projects
