TANK SETTLEMENT FORECAST.
TANK SETTLEMENT FORECAST.
(OP)
Hi:
We are evaluating build four tanks (diameter= 150', height= 50'). Since the soil is very bad, the best solution after add aggregates, envisages a 10" settlement over the time. The foundations with piles represents a high cost solution.
I will appreciate your comments about how deal with this kind of settlements, mainly with the pipelines attachments.
Best Regards,

Enclosed you will find one of the geotechnical surveys (in Spanish, but numbers are numbers).
Thanks again for your help.

I expect that most of the computed settlement is in the Organic clay between elevation 82.3 and 87.0 m. It might be wothwhile to talk to the geotechnical about how much of the settlement is elastic versus consolidation. The eleastic portion will go up and down as the liquid level in the thank changes. Over time that could cause problems for the flexible connectors. Not likely, but worth checking into.
