Crushed Stone Ring Wall Foundation for Tanks 1

[sykimm]

Is there any body to help me to design the earth mound tank foundation?
I would like to know the relevant criteria, design procedure, etc.
Hopely waiting further response....

For water use AWWA D-100
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.

Thank you for your answer.

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.

I don't understand your question. Are you asking what the bearing pressure should be? Or how to calculate it? If you're looking for a relationship between the bearing pressure and the settlement, you need to contact a Geotechnical Engineering company.
Please clarify.
