hi we have a steel tank being placed on a concrete foundation slab which is piled. how do you account for any differential movement due to temperature if at all. tank is not fixed to concrete by any bolting
 
If the tank is not fixed to the foundation, why are you worried?

Also, this must be a shallow wide tank for no bolting considering wind and seismic.

Differential movement is not usually a consideration.
