Lime Silo Foundation
Lime Silo Foundation
(OP)
Hi,
I am tasked with designing a mat foundation for a lime silo. Since this isn't a building, what code/standard do I need to use to calculate the lateral seismic forces in order to design the mat foundation.
Thanks.

I'm from Canada. We don't have a specific Canadian code or guideline for tanks. Someone else also recommended ASCE 7 which I believe is now ASCE 7-05.
Thanks for the info!
