For petroleum use API 350
For others try "Useful Info on the Design of Steel Bins & Silos" pub by Steel Plate Fabricators Assn
Basically for a soils/granular supported tank, the direct bearing of the liquid on the soil must be less than the allowable soil pressure.
RE: Crushed Stone Ring Wall Foundation for Tanks
I have additional question.
Basically soil bearing shall be determined also in the light of settlement.
If you have any experience on this matter, please post it.

Please clarify.
