Wind load consideration in the design of a support can be neglected, when the vessel is___________________?
Correct answer: D. Short (< 2 m) and housed indoor
- A. Tall (say 30 metres), but is full of liquid
- B. Tall but empty
- C. None of these
- D. Short (< 2 m) and housed indoor
Explanation
A short vessel housed indoors is largely shielded from wind and has little exposed area, so wind loading may commonly be neglected. A tall vessel must be checked even when full or empty.
