Engineering Spreadsheet — Instant Download
What This Spreadsheet Does
Checks the net section tension capacity of bolted shell connections in AWWA D-103 factory-coated bolted carbon steel water storage tanks. Verifies the bolted joint can carry hoop tension demands from hydrostatic and design loads.
What’s Inside the Excel File
- Inputs — plate thickness, hole diameter, bolt diameter, bolt pitch, edge distance, bolt grade, plate allowable stress
- Gross section capacity per plate thickness × allowable stress
- Net section capacity per AWWA D-103 deduction for bolt holes
- Bolt shear capacity in single or double shear
- Bearing capacity at bolt holes
- Governing capacity flagged with utilization ratio
Who This Is For
- Bolted tank designers and detailers
- Water utility design engineers
- EPC teams specifying bolted water tanks
- QA/inspection engineers verifying joint capacity

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it cover seal welding too?
No — focused on net section tension. Seal weld design is separate.
Will it work for storage other than water?
It follows AWWA D-103 which is specific to water. For other liquids, use an industry-appropriate code.
