Zick Method Adaptation for Horizontal Cylindrical Vessels (H.C.V.) Asymmetrically Supported on Three Saddle Supports with Support Settlements

. This paper presents a way of using the Zick method for the design of the horizontal cylindrical vessel supported in three points. The effect of the settlements has been considered taking into account the PD 5500-2009 prescriptions.The hypothesis used and the results of the calculations reached the conclusion that the bounded of a cylindrical vessel is not recommended to be made in three points
