19. Why does AutoPIPE Vessel version 33.3.1.7 calculate foundation loads which are about 60% less than the older version 33.2.2.4?

Answer:

The wind code in 33.3.1.7 in ASCE 2010 where we take 0.6W to compute wind. In the version 33.2.2.4 , we used W.

ASCE has changed in 2010, dynamic pressure is increased in 2010 but the combination loads taken always 60% of the wind.
