6.1.4 Operating Weight (Do)


Uncorroded weight of the vessel/exchanger plus all of the removable internals,
ladders, platforms, insulation, fireproofing, design liquid level, catalyst contents
and attached piping weight and pipe supports. Normally 3% of the fabricated
weight is added by Mustangs Vessel Group to account for the attached piping.
For exchangers, assume operating weight to be full of water, unless specific data
is available from vendor drawings. An additional 10-20% allowance may be
included for attached piping when the weight is provided by the vendor and not by
the vessel department. For exchangers add 20% for piping weights. For stacked
exchangers, use only 20% of one vessel for piping weights (Refer to Figure 1).
For vessels, add 10-20% based on the diameter (for example, 20% for vessels
with diameters less than 2 feet, 10% for vessels with diameters 6 feet or more and
15% otherwise).
When preliminary vessel/exchanger information is being used, an additional 515% contingency, based on engineering judgment, may also be added to account
for changes in the vessel/exchanger weight. The operating weight does not
include live or snow load.
6.1.5 Field Test Weight (Dt)
Operating weight of the vessel/exchanger including the water required for
hydrostatic test in lieu of the design liquid level and catalyst contents.
6.1.6 Tube Bundle Weight
The weight of the internal removable bundles in a heat exchanger (Figure 2).
Always request bundle weight from vendor if it is not supplied initially.
6.1.7 Estimating Weights
At times it may be necessary to estimate weights of exchangers in order to
expedite foundation design. This should be done using the exchanger
specifications and charts provided in Appendix 2 or from similar exchangers used
on previous jobs for similar service.
6.1.8 Load Distribution
Loads for vessels should normally be divided equally between the two piers; for
exchangers, typical distribution is 60% to the channel (flanged, Figure1) end and
40% to the other end (shell end). Some cases, however, may require a more
extensive analysis in order to determine proper distribution.
Reasons for uneven distribution can include saddle spacing, piping configurations,
other equipment, exchanger type, platform configuration, and special
vessel/exchanger details. For example, if the location of the saddles does not
accurately represent a 60/40 (channel end/shell end) split of the exchanger
length, the load should be based on actual support locations and weight
distributions.
All of the above shall be considered as dead load for application of concrete design
load factors.
In cases where a vessel/exchanger supports a platform, live loads shall be taken into
account per Project Design Criteria.

Wind Loads (W)


Wind loads available from vendor data or vessel department shall not be used unless
verified by independent calculations in accordance with project design criteria. No
allowance shall be made for shielding effect due to adjacent structures or equipment.
6.2.1 Transverse Wind
Wind loads shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of (ASCE 7) or
in accordance with Project Design Criteria. Cylindrical surface wind pressure
shall be applied on the projected area as a horizontal load at the centerline. To
approximate the effect of all projections such as piping, piers, platforms, etc., the
projected area shall be increased by a wind load factor as noted below.
The wind load factor shall be applied to the overall outside diameter (equipment
diameter + thickness of insulation/ fireproofing) to determine an effective
diameter:
Effective Diameter = Wind Load Factor x Overall O.D.
Overall Diameter

When large platform configurations are encountered, use good engineering


judgment to increase loading.
Effective Platform Wind Area = Projected Area of Platform Support Member
+ 1 ft. for handrails
+ 10% of Platform Width (or Length)
Transverse wind on the side of the vessel/exchanger shall be applied as a shear
load at the centerline of the vessel resolved as moment and shear loads at the
top of the pedestal.
When the vessel/exchanger is supported 10 feet or more above grade, include
wind load on exposed pier or column areas.
Longitudinal Wind
Flat surface wind pressure on the end of the vessel/exchanger shall be applied
as a horizontal load at the centerline of the vessel/exchanger. Wind is applied to
a rectangular projected surface. The longitudinal wind area shall be a rectangle
with width equal to effective vessel/exchanger diameter and height equal to
difference in elevations of top of vessel and bottom of saddle.
Flat surface wind pressure on the exposed area of both piers shall be applied as
a horizontal load at the centroid of the pier area exposed above paving or grade,
when judged significant.
Longitudinal wind loads shall be applied as a shear load at the centerline of the
vessel to the top of the pedestal resolved as a shear and reaction couple applied
to each pier. If the shear at the sliding end has exceeded the allowable friction
force all shear shall be applied at the fixed end.

Earthquake Loads (E)


Earthquake loads available from vendor data or vessel department shall not be used
unless verified by independent calculations in accordance with Project Design Criteria.
Earthquake loads shall be applied proportionately to the vertical load distribution.
Wall piers should be considered rigid for seismic analysis.
Earthquake loads due to pier shall be determined by using half of the mass of the pier
above the footing and applying the resulting load conservatively at the top of the pier.
Any damping due to soil mass is neglected.
For load combinations in section 6.7, the following designations are used:
E0 = Earthquake load considering unfactored operating dead load and applicable
portion of the unfactored structure dead load.
Ee = Earthquake load considering unfactored empty dead load and applicable
portion of the unfactored structure dead load.
When low friction slide assemblies (m<0.2) are used, longitudinal seismic loads shall be
resisted by the fixed end wall pier. For other slide plates (m>0.2) longitudinal seismic
loads shall be distributed as per weight distribution on each wall pier.
Bundle Pull (Bp)
For exchangers, a longitudinal horizontal load for tube bundle removal equal to 30% of
the bundle weight plus 100 pounds per inch of diameter with a minimum of 2000 pounds,
or as per Project Design Criteria, shall be applied at the center of the exchanger. For
stacked exchangers of nearly equal weight, the load shall be applied longitudinally at the
center of the top exchanger. It is assumed only one bundle is pulled at a time. Bundle
pull loads shall be resisted by friction on both piers. When the friction force is overcome
on the sliding support, the entire load shall be resisted by the fixed pier. Bundle pull
loads shall be assumed to act in either direction longitudinally.
Traditionally, in heavy crude units, a bundle pull force equal to 1.5 times the bundle
weight has been used.
Exchangers that are TEMA (Tubular Exchanger Manufacturers Association) rear types
L, M, N, & W do not have removable bundles and thus will not have a bundle pull load to
consider. For this case, a minimum of 1 kip of rodding force shall be applied in the
longitudinal direction.
Thermal Force (Tf)
Longitudinal load on the foundation induced by the thermal growth of the
vessel/exchanger between supports shall be considered. Thermal loads shall be treated
as dead load when applying concrete design load factors. The thermal load shall be
based on operating (not design) temperatures of the shell. Equal and opposite thermal
loads shall be applied at the tops of the piers.
The thermal load is the load required to overcome static friction between the support and
the slide plate. The value of this load is taken as the coefficient of friction times the
vertical reaction due to operating loads on the sliding pier applied longitudinally at the
top of the pier. (See Section 7.1 for typical coefficients of friction).
For exchangers, the temperature used to check thermal expansion shall be the average
of the shell inlet and outlet operating temperatures.

When the thermal load required to deflect the piers by one half the amount of total
temperature expansion between the piers is smaller than the friction load, it shall govern.
Engineering judgment should be applied when using this equation for pedestals which
extend significantly below grade as the soil will form a passive wedge and paving around
the pedestal may significantly shorten the assumed length.

f ' c, psi (3605 ksi for f ' c = 4,000 psi

T = Operating temperature (F)


The thermal load is an internal load which can be substantially relieved by bending of the
saddles, rotation of the supporting piers or footings, or sliding of the saddles on the
supports. Therefore, the allowable soil bearing pressure may be increased by 25% and
the stability ratio may be neglected when thermal loads are considered. In some cases,
however, where large movements or poor soil conditions exist, the Design Technical
Professional may not wish to increase the allowable soil bearing pressure.
6.6

Additional General Requirements


The saddle to pier connection shall be considered fixed for transverse loads.
The saddle to pier connection shall be considered pinned for longitudinal loads. This will
introduce a vertical up and down force couple to the piers.
Loads due to expansion of piping shall be included in applicable combination when
judged significant. For large (> 8) piping, consult with the pipe stress engineer for
loads.

Loads due to lateral earth pressure or pressure due to ground water or bulk
materials (H), shall be treated as live loads with appropriate load factors, without
reduction. Load factor for H shall be set to zero for stability checks, where they
counteract Wind or Seismic Loads.
When required by Project Design Criteria, a combination of erection weight
and/or test weight plus a percentage of wind shall be used.

SLIDE PLATES
A slide plate (Figure 3) shall normally be provided on the sliding end of all horizontal
vessels/exchangers regardless of temperature or amount of expansion. Some lightly loaded
vessels/exchangers may not require slide plates.
Mustang normally sets the channel end (or flanged end, Figure 3) saddle as the slide end
unless specified otherwise by the client. Consult with Piping Engineering to determine the
actual sliding end for the vessel/exchanger in question.

ANCHOR BOLTS
Normally type H bolts (Reference Mustang Standard Drawing Dwg-CD-1001-01, Anchor
Bolt Schedule) shall be used on all vessel/exchanger piers. Sleeves are normally not
provided. Anchor bolts shall be checked for allowable shear on concrete and pullout
tension.
For 1-1/8 and larger diameter anchor bolts under seismic loading use double the allowable
shear capacity given in the Mustang anchor bolt schedule.
Anchor bolt holes in saddles are normally 1/4 larger in diameter than the anchor bolts.
Corrosion allowance shall not be considered unless required by project specifications.
It is desirable to select appropriate anchor bolt type to keep bolts out of the mat.
Anchor bolts shall project 2.5 times the bolt diameter above the top of the saddle base.
Friction force at the bottom of the saddle must be overcome before lateral load is assumed
to produce shear in anchor bolts. Under seismic condition, frictional resistance at the
bottom of the saddle shall be neglected.

9.0

WALL PIER DESIGN


9.1
Sizing
Wall pier dimensions shall be the slide plate size plus 4 inches.
Minimum wall pier thickness shall be 10 inches.
Minimum cover on anchor bolts shall be maintained per Mustang Standard Drawing,
Anchor Bolt Schedule).
Wall pier width and thickness shall be sized in even 2 inch increments to facilitate the
use of metal forms. Verify that the vessel/exchanger nozzles do not interfere with
support piers accounting for thermal growth.
Horizontal vessels/exchangers are normally supported by a rectangular wall pier.
However, where the vessels/exchangers are elevated above an economical height for
the construction of piers, columns with T heads should be considered. The dividing
line for using T columns is around 10 to 12 feet above grade, except for vessels with
saddles less than 4 feet long or foundations in intermediate and high seismic design
categories where taller piers are recommended. Extremely heavy vessels/exchangers
may require a concrete frame rather than T columns. In some cases, multiple
platforms and pipe supports are required around an elevated vessel/exchanger and the
option of utilizing a steel structure as opposed to a concrete structure must be
considered. Consult the Lead Technical Professional for guidance.

Reinforcing
Wall piers are generally designed as cantilever beams with symmetrical reinforcement.
When the reinforcement required approaches max , or with extremely heavy loads or
long piers, it may be necessary to investigate the pier as a column. When horizontal
length to thickness ratio is less than 2.5, the wall pier should be designed as a column
(IBC Section 1908.1.8).
Both wall piers should be identical to avoid detailing confusion and facilitate ease of
construction.
Vertical wall pier reinforcing shall extend into footings when the height of piers above the
top of footing is 8-0 or less. In intermediate and high seismic design categories,
splicing is discouraged. Therefore, taller bars are recommended before splicing is
considered. Above this height, dowels shall be used with a Class B splice. The splice
length shall be determined per ACI 318, Section 12.2 and 12.15. The reduction in
development length per ACI 318, Section 12.2.5 for excess reinforcement is not
applicable to splice lengths in accordance with ACI 318, Section 12.15.1.
Vertical bar hook development length in the footing shall be in accordance with ACI 318,
Section 12.5.
The following minimum wall pier reinforcement is recommended:
Pier
Thickness
10
12
14

Vertical
Reinforcement
#4 @ 8 c/c
#5 @ 10 c/c
#6 @ 10 c/c

Horizontal
Ties
#3 @ 12 max
#4 @ 12 max
#4 @ 12 max

The total minimum vertical reinforcing provided shall be at least 0.005 of the gross
concrete area, Ag. To satisfy crack control requirements per ACI 318, Section 10.6.4,
maximum reinforcement spacing shall be 10 inches.
Ties for rectangular wall piers over 5 feet wide shall normally be twin hairpins (U shaped rebar) for ease of construction. Splice lengths for ties shall be class B. The
reduction factors from ACI 318, Section 12.2.2 shall not be applied. The minimum splice
length shall be 12 inches. A double set of #4 ties spaced at 3 from top of grout in
accordance with ACI 318, Section 7.10.5.6 shall be placed at the top of piers to protect
pedestals from anchor bolt lateral force.
Cross ties for wall piers may be spaced further apart than every other vertical bar.
However, all shear reinforcement must be distributed uniformly. Cross ties in high
seismic areas shall not be spaced farther apart than 14.

COLUMN DESIGN
10.1 Sizing
Columns shall be square or rectangular and sized in even 2-inch increments. It is
desirable to standardize column dimensions for any one job as much as possible in
order to simplify forming.
10.2 Reinforcing
Columns shall be designed in accordance with ACI 318 or applicable Project Design
Criteria.
Typically, the reinforcement in columns shall be identical to avoid detailing confusion and
facilitate ease of construction.
Dowels shall be used to transfer column loads to the footings. The minimum dowel
projection shall be as required for Class B lap splice (See Section 9.2.3 for applicable
ACI 318 Code Sections.)
Vertical bar hook development length in the footing shall be in accordance with ACI 318,
Section 12.5.
T Columns, when used, shall be designed in accordance with requirements of ACI 318.
Special attention must be given to the reinforcement detail in the beam-column
connection.

FOOTING DESIGN
11.1 Sizing
Footings shall normally be rectangular or square with dimensions in even 2-inch
increments to facilitate the use of metal forms.
Minimum footing thickness shall be 15 with 3-inch incremental increases. The
thickness selected shall be checked for shear and tension in the concrete.
Typically, both footings shall be identical to avoid detailing confusion and facilitate ease
of construction.
Whenever the dimension in the longitudinal direction of an individual footing approaches
the distance between piers, consideration shall be given to combining both piers on a
common mat.
11.2 Stability Ratio
Stability provisions outlined herein apply to shallow foundations. Footings supported on
piles shall utilize the tension capacity of piles. The minimum stability ratio for service
loads other than earthquake shall be 1.5 or in accordance with job specifications. For
earthquake service loads, the minimum stability ratio shall be 1.0 or in accordance with
Project Design Criteria.
For a foundation with a symmetrical and concentric pedestal and footing, the overturning
stability ratio, SRo, may be calculated as:
SRo = b/2e
Where:
b = dimension of the footing in the direction of overturning moment, ft
e = overturning moment at the base of the footing divided by the total vertical
load, ft

The stability ratio for sliding is defined as the passive soil resistance plus the soil
frictional resistance divided by the maximum horizontal load applied to the foundation for
any given loading condition.
11.3

Soil Bearing or Pile Reactions


The soil bearing pressure shall be computed using unfactored loads and the following
formulas:
Total Footing Area In Compression,

e
6

S.B. =

P 6e
1
A
L

Total Footing Area Not in Compression,

e >

S.B. =

Where:
e = Eccentricity of vertical load due to horizontal load (M/P)
B = Side of footing perpendicular to direction of horizontal load
L = Side of footing parallel to direction of horizontal load
P = Total vertical load
M = Applied Moment at the bottom of the footing
A = Area of footing
When eccentricity exists in two directions, soil bearing shall be checked using the Biaxial
Soil Bearing Pressure Chart (reference Appendix 3).
Often, pipe supports in the vicinity are supported by exchanger pier pedestals or
footings. Loads due to such pipe supports and effects of their location should be
evaluated in the wall pier and/or foundation design.
When applicable, all load combinations must also be evaluated for a buoyant condition
when a high groundwater table is encountered. The minimum factor of safety for
buoyancy shall be 1.2 under unfactored service loads.
Any increase in allowable soil bearing pressure for wind, seismic, or thermal load
combinations shall be based on Project Design Criteria or recommendation by the
geotechnical consultant.
Pile loads shall be calculated using the following formula:

Q=

P Mx y My x

n y2
x2

P = total vertical load, kips


n = total number of piles
Mx, My = overturning moment at the base of pile cap about x-axis and y-axis,
respectively.
x = distance measured from the centroid of the pile group about the y-axis to any
pile, ft.
y = distance measured from the centroid of the pile group about the x-axis to any
pile, ft.
x2, y2 = total moment of inertia of the pile group about y-axis and x-axis,
respectively. (Each pile is treated as a point with I = 0, and A = 1)
11.4

Reinforcing and Stresses


The footing shall be designed as a one-way slab reinforced to resist flexural stresses in
one direction only.
Shear and bending moments shall be computed based on the soil bearing determined
by strength design loads per the appropriate design load factors as specified in Section
6.7.
Bending moment and rebar development length shall be checked at the face of the pier.
Beam shear, as a measure of diagonal tension, shall be conservatively checked at the
face of the pier and if excessive shall be checked as outlined in ACI 318, Section 11.11.
Two way (punching) shear of the wall piers shall be checked as applicable per ACI 318,
Section 11.11.
Minimum footing steel shall be #5 @ 10 c/c for crack control. Consult with the Lead
Engineer if top layer reinforcement is recommended.
For seismic condition, top layer reinforcement shall be provided to account for load
reversals.
When piles are used, check punching shear per ACI 318, Section 15.5.3 and 15.5.4.

KEY TO OUTLINE DRAWINGS


Once an order has been placed for a shell and tube exchanger, the most important need from
the purchasers viewpoint is the outline (dimensional) drawing. Until this is available, final
details of civil, structural, and piping work necessary to integrate the exchanger into the system
cannot be completed. Preparation of the outline drawing by the manufacturer requires complete
detailed design of the exchanger - a time consuming job. Usually, the outline drawing will be
available two to three weeks after order. Sometimes this period extends to a month or more.
During this time the purchaser can complete preliminary layout work, estimating exchanger
dimensions by reference to the exchanger specification sheet.
The data on the exchanger specification sheet which establish the general configuration of the
exchanger are: (1) the exchanger type, (2) the tube length, and (3) the shell diameter. With
these and knowledge of permissible nozzle arrangements and orientations, a quick estimate of
exchanger dimensions can be made
Important Dimensions
The sketches below illustrate important layout dimensions for floating head fixed tubesheet, and
U-tube exchangers.

() Span between supports and projection of supports can vary considerably depending on
standards established by the manufacturer.
Note: For U-tube units, manufacturers customarily show the straight length of the tubes (to the
tangent point of the U-bends) as a part of the size of designation. For U-tube units the tube
length (T.L.) is this straight length plus one-half the shell diameter.
These formulas are based on exchangers with 8 nozzles. Corrections may be applied for nozzles
of different size as follows: (note that CNS stands for the larger channel nozzle size; FSNS stands
for the front shell nozzle size; RSNS stands for the rear shell nozzle size).
Dimension A Add: CNS 8
Dimension C Add: (CNS - 8) + (FSNS 8)
Dimension D Add: (CNS - 8) + (FSNS 8)
Dimension E, J, M Subtract: (FSNS 8) + (RSNS 8)
Unless there is a large difference in size, these corrections are not required.

the soil pressures and stability ratio. The magnitudes of the loads acting in both directions will produce minimal biaxial effects and can be ignored for this design.
