design of column for hydrodynamic loads
does anyone have any references or a way to design a column for hydrodynamic loads?

do you know the hydrodynamic loads or do you need to figure them out?
i need to figure them out
hi mjflorio,
hydrodynamics implies velocity related forces.  you will need to supply much more information.  is this column a seawall bolster being pounded by storm surge, or a pitot sensor strut support inside a pipe?  otherwise, start with  a good college text on incompressible fluid mechanics.
it is a awwa d100 circular steel tank center column supporting the roof.  i can get the impulsive and convective acclerations from d100, but i was wondering how to apply them to the column.
