Load Cases and Combinations

Two wind directions have been considered for the tower- tank assembly, viz normal and diagonal directions. W

perpendicular to tower face will produce maximum stress in the bracing, while wind at 450 to the face

maximum stress in the legs. For each wind direction, three load combinations ( dead, live, plus wind) are con
serviceability limit state and the ultimate limit state.

INTENDED USE & BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE
The proposed steel tower is to provide support for a 4,800-gallon (21,821 litre-capacity) Braithwaite pressed steel fire foam tank at a height of 12.0m above ground level. The tank
plan and is 2.44m deep.

The structural solution consists of a 4-legged lattice tower, 12m high, carrying a platform, which measures 6.06m x 4.84m on plan. The platform is made of 203X133X25UB secon
at 1.22m intervals over 356x171x45UB Main girders `POS 13 which are, in turn, supported by the tower legs made of 152x152x23UC at the corners of a square of side 2.44m . B
girders are extended to carry the walkway and the handrails.

For stability the tower is braced horizontally at 3.0m intervals with 80x80x6RSA `POS 02. Cross bracing is made of 80x80x6RSA `POS 03, designed as ties. The Holding Down
250mmx250mmx20 base plates which are anchored to the concrete pedestals with M20 grade 8.8 bolts. The superstructure also consists of a retaining wall 1.6m high and 225mm t
of 400mm thick reinforced concrete slab at 450mm above ground level, which are tied together with concrete capping beams. Further details of the design are given in the accompa
