Tank Foundation Design

The document summarizes the design of a storage tank foundation and ring wall. It provides calculations for seismic loads, material weights, horizontal pressure on the ring wall, hoop tension, ring wall and footing thickness. Calculations are shown for concrete tensile stress, soil bearing capacity under the footing for different load cases, and reinforcement requirements. The design was found to meet allowable bearing pressure and other criteria.

FOUNDATION DESIGN:

Max. Overturning Moment Due To Seismic Loads. 36,415 Kips


Compression or Tension Due To Moment: 5.19 kpf
Seismic Base Shear: 0.27 kips

RINGWALL DESIGN:
Use Following Weight Values for Materials

Wt. of Steel 490lb/ft3


Wt. Of Compacted Soil 110 lb/ft3
Wt. Of Concrete Wall 150 lb/ft3
Wt. Of Product in Tank 50 lb/ft3

Horizontal Pressure on Ring Wall:

F=Kah(g*p*H+1/2 soh)+270
0.3*6.0[(50*44.5+0.5*110*6.0)]+270 4,869 kips

Hoop Tension:

1/2FD= 1/2(4869)(94.5) 230 kips

As= 231/24.0 10 in.

USE - 6 # 9 Bars Ea. Face


USE - # 4 Bars at 12" on Center

Minimum RingWall Thickness:

T = 2W / g *p*h - 2h ( gc - gso) W = 1100

(2)(1100)/50(44.5)-2(6.0)(150-110) 1.26
Use 16" Thick Concrete Wall

Concrete Tensile Stress:

fct = c(Es)(As)+T / Ac + n (As)


.0003(29*106)(10)+231000/(16*72)+(9*10)
318000 1242 256 psi
.15(3000) 450 psi
OK
Soil Bearing:

Try 3'- 6" Footing

Weight. of Wall = 1.33*5.0*.150 1.0 kips


Weight of Footing = 3.5*1.0*.150 0.525 kips
Weight of Fill = 2.17*4.0*.110 0.95 kips
2.48 kips

Case 1

Load from Shell + Roof + Live Load = 1.1 kips


Weight of Wall +Footing + Fill = 2.48 kips

Bearing Pressure = 3.58/3.50 1.0 kips

Case 2

Dead + Live Load + Earthquake Load =

P = 3.58 + 5.19 = 8.77 kips


H= 0.270 kips
Moment at Base of Footing = .270(6.0) 1.62 kips

Bearing Pressure Under Footing =


8.77/3.5*1 2.51 kips
2.51+.79 3.30 kips
Allowable Pressure = 3.0*1.33 3.99
OK

USE -4 # 9 Bars in Footing


USE - # 4 Bars at 12" Horizontal
