Horizontal Vessel Geometry

The dialog box for horizontal vessel geometry shows the horizontal vessel geometry required in completing foundation design. This dialog is very similar to the one for a horizontal exchanger geometry.

 

A horizontal vessel will not have 'Bundle Pull" load as a load case.

 

Strapped Footings

 

A horizontal vessel with two footings - one under each vessel support can be strapped with a strap beam or tie beam to create a Strap Foundation. For more details on designing such a strap foundation refer to the topic Strap Footing. The two footings can be strapped together on the Footing Layout page. For more details on the operations on footing layout page, refer to Footing Layout.
