Hi Everyone,

I have a query regarding the calcs. PV. does for Skirts. I know it performs the EN 13445 calcs. What I want to know is if in addition to those calcs. it calculates the followings:

1) Shell local stress analysis at compression ring junction?
2) Shell local stress analy. at base ring junction?

In the local stress analysis I am assuming it takes into account the wind/seismic moments at those junctions? Am I correct?

Any help would be appreciated.

Arshad.

For skirt analysis we have very good book references. .
1 . Bednar
2. Brownell and young.

Pv elite is using this formula also.

And yes wind and seismic which is governing will be used to calculate stresses in bolt.

Thanks
