Anchorage Design in Petrochemical Facilities presents recommendations for the design, fabrication, and installation of anchorages into concrete for petrochemical facilities. This report will be useful to petrochemical or structural engineers, as well as by managers of companies operating petrochemical facilities. It will also be useful for structural engineers in other industries who anchor structural steel and equipment to concrete foundations and structures. |Anchorage Design in Petrochemical Facilities presents recommendations for the design, fabrication, and installation of anchorages into concrete for petrochemical facilities.

This second edition evaluates the impacts of published reference data, research development, and code changes that have occurred since creation of the 2012 technical report. Topics include Petrochemical and other industrial facilities anchorage design methods for tension and shear transfer into concrete with reinforcement and other embedments; Summary of anchorage materials and properties; Current practices for fabrication and installation of anchorage; Recommendations for post-installed anchors; Comprehensive recommendations for cast-in-place anchor design, which are appropriate for use in petrochemical and other industrial facilities; and Recommended constructability and repair practices. This valuable resource will assist engineers with the responsibility for designing anchorage for equipment and structures, and operating company personnel responsible for establishing internal design, fabrication, and construction practices.

This title uses an approach to systems analysis and modelling with a systems science flavour that stimulates systems thinking. The author moves from illustrating the three-fold nature of the universe to circumscribing a "Yellowstone National Park" grizzly bear system. After introducing systems modelling principles, the ensuing selecting of examples illustrate that anything which changes over time can be modelled as a system. Each example begins with a knowledge base whose items display relevant information obtained from systems analysis. Repetition of this approach for a diversity of examples clearly establishes a new protocol for synthesising systems models. New ideas such as dynamics forms and reverse regression are merged with the well-known continuity equation to synthesise linear-equation models of nonlinear and/or stochastic systems, thus replacing the more conventional differential equation models. Standard matrix algebra is employed in their solution.
