To resist this force the effective area of web plate = R/3 x 0.25 = 4.25 in? 38,250/4.25 = 9,000 Ibs. per square inch The allowable stress = % * 30,000 = 20,000 psi. The thickness of the web plate is satisfactory for horizontal force (F) nal bending over the web. 3. The web plate should be stiffened with ribs against the buckling. L._ The saddle at the lowest section must resist the horizontal force (F). The effective cross section of the saddle to resist this load is one third of the vessel radius (R). The average stress shall not exceed two thirds of the compression yield point of the 15 To] —] eee 2.
