Ring Foundation for Storage Tank
Ring Foundation for Storage Tank
(OP)
I am currently designing a concrete ring foundation for a 90' diameter jet fuel storage tank in seismic zone 3. Per API 650, the tank will not be anchored to the foundation. How does one account for the lateral and overturning forces applied to the foundation? I haven't yet found a publication which addresses this.
