DEFINITION OF LOADS

1. Permanent Load, G
Aluminum Sheet

(Automatically calculated by software)

4 mm thk., GRP Lining

2.

0.05 kPa

Variable Loads, Q @ critical Level

Hydrostatic Load on side = 9.81 x 0.12 = 1.18 kPa/m (Uniformly Varrying Load)
Pressure Load on Bottom = 9.81 x 0.12 = 1.18 kPa/m

VII.

FEM MAXIMUM STRESS CONTOUR FROM STAAD.PRO

A. Maximum Absolute

MAXIMUM ABSOLUTE STRESS = 121 MPa

ALLOWABLE STRESS = 165 MPa
UTILIZATION RATIO = 73.33%
THEREFORE; SAFE
NOTE : GRP LINING STIFFNESS IS NOT CONSIDERED ON THE
ANALYSIS MODEL BUT IT`S WEIGHT IS CONSIDERED.

B. Maximum Tresca Stress

MAXIMUM TRESCA STRESS = 121 MPa

ALLOWABLE STRESS = 165 MPa
UTILIZATION RATIO = 73.33%
THEREFORE; SAFE
NOTE : GRP LINING STIFFNESS IS NOT CONSIDERED ON THE
ANALYSIS MODEL BUT IT`S WEIGHT IS CONSIDERED.

C. Maximum Von Mis Stress

MAXIMUM VON MIS STRESS = 107 MPa

ALLOWABLE STRESS = 165 MPa
UTILIZATION RATIO = 73.33%
THEREFORE; SAFE
NOTE : GRP LINING STIFFNESS IS NOT CONSIDERED ON THE
ANALYSIS MODEL BUT IT`S WEIGHT IS CONSIDERED.
