Hi All! Does anyone have any good resources on Tank Bottom Settlement Surveys such as books, articles, etc. relating to the methodology? API 653 Annex B lays out the requirements and formulas, and there are numerous articles on the theory behind the concepts, but I am looking to gain more understanding on the field application.
I've done all my surveys with laser survey equipment, but how were they done before?
And we have software that computes whether the planar tilt and out-of-plane settlement are acceptable, but how was this done before we all had PCs?
Also I shadowed serveral older inspectors and none of them do it the exact same way, so what are some advantages to the different methods?
