Rectangular Tank Design

H. Horizontal Stiffener Design (Long Side) 4. Shear Strength
VnB := 1.0 dB twB 0.6 FyB VnB = 111.78 kip VB VnB Nominal shear strength for beam

= 28.64 %

Ratio must be less than or equal to 100% - try another beam shape if over 100%

5. Web Compactness
pwB := 3.76 pwB = 90.55 HbyTW = 45.40 HbyTW pwB = 50.14 % Slenderness ratio for beam Es FyB Limiting slenderness ratio for web compactness (AISC 360-05, Table B4.1)

Ratio must be less than or equal to 100%

6. Beam Deflection
w L tank he max w Ncross + hp 384 Es IB Ltank 180

L := 5

= 0.22 in

Beam deflection at top of tank

maxL := L maxL

= 2.56 in

Allowable beam deflection at top of tank

= 8.75 %

Ratio must be less than or equal to 100%
