you are right, and many thanks for the information, but owner wants using API 650 for designing the Tank. Can you help me more?

For a 10m Dia tank you may even be able to get away with a stiffened cone roof with rafters only, ie no centre column. This does rely on arching action and you need to have a good kerb angle.
Under API 650 this would class as a self supported roof with "stiffeners".
