ROAD TRANSPORTATION ANALYSIS

Saddle & Shipping Data:

Ws= Shipping weight + 1.5 impact factor
A= Saddle Length
B= Saddle Height from vessel Center
b= Saddle Width
Saddle include angel
COG= Left Tan line to COG distance
L1= Saddle sepration, Saddle CL to CL
D1= Distance from left saddle to left tan line
D2= Distance from right saddle to right tan line
L2= COG to left saddle
L3= COG to right saddle
Vessel Data:
I.D Inside diameter of the vessel
ts = thickness of shell
r = Inside radius of the vessel
R = Outer radius of the vessel
L = Vessel T/L to T/L distance
A' = Left saddle to Left T/L
A'' = Right saddle to Right T/L
Stress Values: Shipping/Transportation, assued the vessel is cold and not pressurized.
FY = Yield stress of saddle
Sa = Allowable stress of saddle (0.9 * FY)
Sb = Bending stress of saddle (2/3 * Sa)
Transportation Force Coefficients, (for road transportation):
Kx = Transverse load coefficients,
Ky = Vertical load coefficients
Kz = Longitudinal load coefficients,
