1.4       Operating Load (O)

Operating load are the dead load of equipment plus the weight of any liquid or solids that is present within the vessels, equipment or piping during normal operation. 

1.5       Test Load (T)

Foundation and structures supporting vessel and tanks for which the hydro test will be carried out shall be designed to support the dead load of equipment plus a full hydro test load of the equipment simultaneously.

All heavy-duty roads, pavement, bridges and underground installations accessible to truck loading shall be designed as per AASHTO.

Bridges, trenches and underground installations accessible to truck loading shall be designed to withstand HS20 load as defined by AASHTO Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges. Maintenance or construction crane or bridge crane loads shall be considered also.



1.7       Thermal Load (Th)

Thermal load shall be defined as those forces caused by a change in temperature. Thermal load results from both operating and environment conditions. Such forces shall include those caused by vessel or piping expansion or contraction, and expansion or contraction of structures

Thermal loads and displacements caused by operating conditions shall be based on the design temperature of the item of equipment rather than the operating temperature.

In the design of pipe racks and pipe supports, a horizontal friction force (Ff) due to thermal expansion or contraction of pipe or equipment shall be applied at the support bearing surfaces. This force shall be assumed to act in either direction parallel or perpendicular to the piping run and shall be as follow :

 


The friction coefficients shown in Table 4 shall be used for determining restraint (force) due to temperature change or lateral force on sliding surfaces:

Table 4

Lateral Loads

1.7.1    Sliding Thermal Force

The sliding supports supporting heat exchanger or horizontal vessels for high-temperature service shall be designed to be safe under the friction force due to thermal deformation of equipment. This force shall be deemed as permanent load when the temperature corresponds to the normal operating condition.

1.7.2    Anchor Force

For pipe racks and pipe supports, pipe anchor force shall be calculated based on the thermal stress analysis of the piping system. Deflection of the supports shall be considered.

The anchor force shall be deemed as a permanent thermal load when the temperature corresponds to the normal operating condition. When the temperature corresponds to the start-up condition, such force shall be deemed as temporary thermal load.
1.8       Impact Load ( I )

Transversal         :  20 % from max. lifted load

Longitudinal         : 10 % from max. wheel loads

Design loading for road, pavement, bridges, trenches, and underground installation subject to impact load of truck or crane shall be increased 20% (vertical). Reciprocating machinery or power driven unit shall be not less than 50%.

1.9       Dynamic Loads (J)

Vibration loads are defined as those forces that are caused by vibrating machinery such as pumps, blowers, fans and compressors. Including in this definition are surge forces similar to those acting in surge vessels. All supports and foundation for vibrating equipment shall be designed to limit vibrations to an acceptable level.

Wind speed of local data shall be carried from local authority Climatology department, BMG (Badan Meterologi dan Geofisika). The minimum wind speed at standard height of 33 feet above ground shall be 70 miles per hour (112 km per hour), UBC chapter 16. These higher values wind speed data shall be the minimum basic wind speed loading data in the calculation design.
Wind stagnation pressure, q(s), shall be 61.52 kg/m²  (12.6 psf) according to UBC Table 16-F. The wind loads shall be based on terrain Exposure “ C “. Wind Importance Factor, Iw = 1.00 for all buildings, except Iw = 1.15 for essential facilities and hazardous facilities as set forth in UBC Table 16-K. The product of the combined height, exposure and guest factor coefficient, Ce (UBC Table 16-G), times the stagnation pressure qs shall be taken as given in table bellow:

Equipment and structures shall be designed to resist a design wind pressure, p = CeCqqsIw, where pressure coefficient Cq, shall be obtained from Table 16-H of UBC.  
Vertical and horizontal vessels shall be designed to resist a design wind pressure, p = CeCqqsCpaIw, where Cq = 0.8. The projected area increased coefficient Cpa is given in Table 6 below:
Table 5  
Coefficient Cpa
Note:
The value Cpa refers to "Pressure Vessel Design Manual" by Moss, Dennis R.
In applying the wind pressure as lateral force on the projected areas of vessel diameter, the projected area increase factor Cpa, given above will provide as adequate allowance for manholes, nozzles, piping, ladders, platforms and other attachments for normal refinery-type vessels.
Wind load shall be separately computed for all supported equipment, ladders, and stairs except for vessels where projected area increase factors have already accounted for these items.
Gust response factor for a main wind resisting system of flexible building, structures and vertical vessel with height to diameter ratio equal or greater than 5:1 shall be calculated. Calculations shall be based on a rational analysis that incorporates the dynamic properties of the main wind forces resisting system. No reduction shall be made for shielding effect of vessel or structure adjacent to the structure being designed. Wind loads on open structures shall be calculated using Cq from Table 16-H.5 of UBC, without regard for shielding by other structural members.
The overturning moment due to wind shall not exceed 2/3 of the resisting moment of the structure and foundation during its lightest possible conditions after plant construction is complete.
Wind and earthquake forces shall not be assumed to act concurrently. Typical values of Cq can also be referred to UBC Code (1997 Edition) Table H.
