Wind Load Design of Petrochemical and Other Industrial Facilities
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
Regarding the calculation of wind loads for petrochemical and industrial facilities. This specific report updates the 1997 edition to align with modern standards like ASCE 7, addressing complex structures such as pipe racks, open frames, and vertical vessels. It offers refined analytical methods for determining force coefficients and shielding effects that are unique to industrial equipment. Additionally, the text reviews historical performance of these structures during major hurricanes to identify common failure points like storage tank buckling and cooling tower damage. By establishing consensus design practices, the guide aims to provide engineers with more uniform and accurate methods for ensuring structural integrity against wind-induced forces.
