Load Cases and Combinations Two wind directions have been considered for the tower- tank assembly, viz normal and diagonal directions. Wind normal or perpendicular to tower face will produce maximum stress in the bracing, while wind at 450 to the face will result in maximum stress in the legs. For each wind direction, three load combinations ( dead, live, plus wind) are considered at the serviceability limit state and the ultimate limit state.
