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

RE: Circular Tank Overturning Toe Pressure
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.
