The legs that hold the load up.

SupportForge designs the legs and support structures that hold elevated tanks, hoppers, and equipment. It sizes the columns, the base plates, and the anchorage that ties the structure to the foundation.

An elevated structure stands or falls on its supports. The columns must carry the load without buckling, and the anchors must hold against uplift and overturning. SupportForge checks the members for stability and designs the base plates and anchor bolts to the governing load combinations.

02What it checks
01

Column buckling under the full elevated load.

02

Base plate sizing and bearing on the foundation.

03

Anchor bolts for tension, shear, and uplift.

04

Bracing and the lateral load path.

05

Overturning and the foundation reactions.
