Floating Roof Design Specifications

The document describes the design of an external double deck floating roof for a storage tank. It includes details on the geometry of the floating roof sections and calculations to verify buoyancy and liquid levels under normal and extreme conditions. The floating roof consists of 9 sections with radii ranging from 2 to 39.8 meters and has a total volume of 3,186 cubic meters. Calculations show the buoyancy force exceeds the total roof weight under normal and rainfall loading conditions, and liquid levels remain below the rim height even if two compartments are punctured.

h= 227.0 m is less than Hr >> OK

II. Rainfall Case


Collect of 10" (254mm) Rainwater for 24 hr on the deck with SG=1 # as per C.3.4.1.a
Wrain : Rainwater weight = 1,276,743.3 kg
Wd : Roof Dead Weights = 644,304.0 kg
