I am a bit familiar with API-650 , but structural design of roofs remains my weak part.
--------------
My questions :
How to design a floating roof (as a structural item:subjected to buoncy , puncture, and other loads)??
1/-Does anayone has some worked examples, or bits of litterature?
2/-Does Coade intending to include this design within Tank?
3/-Pontoon , single or double deck.
When to decide to go for double deck ??
4/-Who´s responsible for the design of the roof ??
Can a tank manufacturer subcontract this part ??
Or shall he keep it within his scope of fabrication ??
5/-When to go for aluminium roofs ???
6/-Who is responsible for designing the seal system??
Is it the seal supplier ??
My understanding is that: At the end the tank
manufacturer remains responsible for the WHOLE tank including roof, seal,..
