Mounded storage tank design

Mounded storage tank design

Mounded storage tank design

(OP)
I am starting to make a study on how to design a mounded
storage tank ( cylindrical in sand bed and spherical on concrete ring-support covered with sand ).
Is there anywhone who can give information on how
to start such a study.

I searched Internet but the only interesting document I found was EEMUA publication nbr. 190

I particulary interested in the design of these vessels ,
i.e. determining panel thickness and stiffener size.

I read some general books like Timoshenko , Roark's formula's , but my main problem is how to define the loading of the above sandbed and the influence of a non-uniform support along the tank ( non-uniform bedding-modulus ).

Can anyone direct me to the information I need to complete my study ?
