(OP)
Dear Friends
I would like to know what is H/D ratio(Height/Diameter) in storage Tank Design.which references could be useful for this reason?


 

RE: (H/D )ratio

Hey dear friends it depends on the soil resistence.
Hmax=1000*SR/SG

SR: minimum SOil resistence (kg/cm2)
SG: speciif gravity (non dimensioanl)
hmax: mm

RE: (H/D )ratio

Depending on the height to diameter ratio (providing that the foundation can take the loading), designing for wind loading per API-650 may require anchors which has a cost impact.  Sometimes by manipulating the size of the tank (height/diameter) you can avoid anchors if the design pressure of the tank is low or at atmospheric.    

RE: (H/D )ratio

It depends on the size of the tank, whether it's pressurized or not, whether it has a floating roof or not, whether seismic or wind are significant, etc.
