Saddle calculations are based on the method presented in "Stresses in Large Cylindrical Pressure Vessels on

Two Saddle Supports" by L.P. Zick.

Seismic base shear on vessel
Vessel is assumed to be a rigid structure.
Method of seismic analysis:
UBC 1997 ground supported
Vertical seismic accelerations considered:
Yes
Force Multiplier:
0,4
Minimum Weight Multiplier:
0,2
Seismic zone:
4
Importance factor:
I = 1,5
Soil profile:
SD
Near source factor:
Na = 1
V = 0,7 * Ca * I * W/1,4
= 0,7 * 0,44 * 1,5 * 37.651,00/1,4
= 12.424,83 lb
Saddle reactions due to weight + seismic
Vv = vertical seismic force acting on right saddle
V = horizontal seismic shear acting on right saddle (worst case if not slotted)
Seismic longitudinal reaction, Ql (right saddle):
Ql = V * Hs / Ls + Vv
= 12.424,83 * 53,54 / 212,28 + 2.171,40
= 5.305,117 lb
Seismic transverse reaction, Qt (right saddle):
Qt = V*Hs/(Ro*Sin( /2 )) + Vv
= 3.582,81*53,54/(20*Sin( 120 /2 )) + 2.171,40
= 13.246,34 lb
Q = Weight on saddle + larger of Qt or Ql
Q = W + Qt = 10.857,00 + 13.246,34 = 24.103,34 lb
Vv = vertical seismic force acting on left saddle
V = horizontal seismic shear acting on left saddle (worst case if not slotted)
Seismic longitudinal reaction, Ql (left saddle):
Ql = V * Hs / Ls + Vv
= 12.424,83 * 53,54 / 212,28 + 5.358,80
= 8.492,517 lb
Seismic transverse reaction, Qt (left saddle):
Qt = V*Hs/(Ro*Sin( /2 )) + Vv
= 8.842,02*53,54/(24*Sin( 120 /2 )) + 5.358,80
= 28.135,35 lb
Q = Weight on saddle + larger of Qt or Ql
Q = W + Qt = 26.794,00 + 28.135,35 = 54.929,35 lb
