SHELL STABILITY CHECK;
As per API 650 11th Ed. 2009 Add. 2 Sect. 5.9.7.1
The Maximum height for the unstiffined shell shall be calculated as follows:
H1 = 600,000*(t)*(((t/D)^3)^0.5)*(120 /V)^2 = , ft
23.82
7.26 Meters
Where;
H1 = Vertical Distance in ft, betwwen the intermediate wind girder and the top angle of the shell or the top wind girder of an open top tank
t = as built thickness, unless otherwise specified of the thinnest shell course (in Inches)
D = Nominal Tank height, Ft
V = Designed wind speed (3 sec gust)mph
