Underground pressure vessel near foundations

Underground pressure vessel near foundations

Underground pressure vessel near foundations

(OP)
Good evening everyone.
I have the next situation : a underground double wall pressure vessel is about 1 meter close to a a column foundation which is located north of the vessel . On the est and south there is a road at about 2 meters on which there will be a crane installing some equipment of about 20 tonnes.
and now the questions :
- will the pressure vessel be affected by the foundation to the north, and the location of the crane to the south ?
- if yes , where can i get information on how to take into account the loads (weight of the foundation and the load from the crane + equipment ) to design the underground vessel ?
Thank you for all your answers.

RE: Underground pressure vessel near foundations

??

Draw a cross-section view of the building AND its foundation and slab, the pressure vessel AND it own foundation and supports underground -surely it is not just buried! - AND the road and its easement and centerline. The question relies on how loads from the building frame and columns and slab are supported through the building foundations to rock, how the PV is supported through its frame and pads to rock, and how the road and its occasional traffic is supported to rock.
