Wind Loads for Petrochemical and Other Industrial Facilities
WIND LOADS FOR
PETROCHEMICAL AND OTHER
INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES
PREPARED BY
Task Committee on Wind-Induced Forces of the Petrochemical Committee of the
Energy Division of the American Society of Civil Engineers
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
The focus of this report is on the procedures for determining the design wind loads for non-building structures in petrochemical and other industrial facilities. The report is structured around the following generic types of structures usually found in these facilities. Examples are also provided for some of these structures: a. Pipe support structures (pipe racks, pipe bridges) b. Open and partially clad frame structures c. Vessels (vertical, horizontal and spherical) d. Cooling towers
e. Air coolers (air cooled heat exchangers, also known as fin fans) f. Tanks g. Steel stacks
