RE: Bottom plate thickness
However, if you actually mean the annular ring then according to a text book I read long time ago clarified that the annular ring is sized as a cantilevered beam (fixed at the bot shell to ring juction) to support a column of liquid. This is on the assumption that the foundation has settled and this width of ring has to be able support the column of liquid.
