What to Expect

Get familiar with vocabulary, terminology, roof types, general points regarding seismic and anchor bolts.
Learn to design and calculate fixed roofs and its internal support structure.
Obtain the seismic spectrum, perform the overturning and sliding verification.
Design and calculate anchor bolts due to combined loads, define number of bolts and cross section.

Who Should Attend And Training Objetives

This course is intended for graduates (or soon to be), designers, freelancers, technicians and engineers involved in: calculation, design, selection, manufacturing, safety, quality and maintenance of systems and equipment in industrial processes.

Previous knowledge of this subject is not required to attend to the course.

Case Studies

Module 1: vocabulary, terminology, roof types, general points regarding seismic and anchor bolts.
Module 2: fixed roofs thickness calculation, design and calculation of support structure.
Module 3: definition of seismic spectrum, overturning verification, freeboard and sliding verification.
Module 4: anchor bolts requirement due to combined loads, number of bolts and cross section.

Complementary Parts

Part I: Shell design, Nozzle selection, Bottom and Annular plates design.
Part III: Roof Structure Design, Seismic & Anchor Bolts Calculation and external appurtenances.
