Tank Anchor Analysis, CA

Question

Posted by Desert Richover 4 years ago

Can you explain Vy,N,Mx,My entries for anchors on a 69K vessel? I have calculated shear which I believe is Vy. The vertical and moment arm entries are a little confusing. I have calculated Vertical moment, and included effect of gravity Qe combo equation. It appears N and My are conflicting entries.

Moments vertical forces storage tank anchors,storage tank,moment storage tank

Hi Desert,

Mx is the moment around the x-axis and My is the moment around the y-axis. Vx is the shear load in the x-direction, Vy is the shear load in the y-direction, and N is the tension load. For further information on how PROFIS Engineering calculates anchor design, you can reference the PROFIS Engineering Design Guide found here.
