Circular Tank Overturning Toe Pressure

Circular Tank Overturning Toe Pressure

Circular Tank Overturning Toe Pressure

(OP)
What is the approach/equation to calculate the overturning toe pressure on a concrete ringwall in a seismic event?  I have a 89'x32'H welded steel tank that is in seismic zone 4 and is resting on a concrete ringwall (not bolted down).

Any help would definitely be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

PEStructural,

Take your bearing pressure +/- (overturning moment/section modulus of the ring beam).  Sorry for the short explanation I will expand more when I have more time.

I understand.  P/A +/- M/S when your e is with the kern point.  Thanks for the reply!
