CHECK FOR RING BEARING PRESSURE

1) BEARING PRESSURE FOR FULL LOAD OF TANK

Allowable bearing capacity of soil = 215.82 N/mm 2

Allowable bearing capacity of soil Lateral loads) = 287.04 N/mm 2
(Allowable value is 33% increased for lateral loads)

Stress on ring when tank is full = s = Pmax/A = 171.47 KN/m OK , FOOTING IS SAFE 3.58 ksf

STABILITY CHECKS:
1 ) CHECK AGAINST OVERTURNING :
SEISMIC LOAD WHEN TANK IS FULL:

OVERTURNING OF TANK
Overturning moment by Earthquake ME = MO = 89715.75 KN-m 66147.72 Kip-ft
Resisting Moment = MR = Full tank load x DO/2 = 356241.0262 KN-m 262657.71 Kip-ft

Factor of safety =MR /Mo = 3.97 OK , TANK IS SAFE AGAINST OVERTURNING

WIND LOAD WHEN TANK IS EMPTY:

OVERTURNING OF TANK
Overturning Moment = Mo = 2966.76 KN-m 2187.40 Kip-ft
Resisting Moment = MR =Emp.tank load x DO/2 = 11496.85 KN-m 8476.67 Kip-ft

Factor of safety =MR /Mo = 3.88 OK , TANK IS SAFE AGAINST OVERTURNING

2) CHECK AGAINST SLIDING:

SEISMIC LOAD WHEN TANK IS FULL:

CHECK FOR SLIDING OF TANK

Sliding Force = Lateral seismic force for full load = 13778.7 KN
Resisting Force = m x Full vertical load 21657.1443 KN

Factor of safety = Sliding force/Resisting force = 1.57 OK , TANK IS SAFE AGAINST SLIDING

WIND LOAD WHEN TANK IS EMPTY:

CHECK FOR SLIDING OF TANK

Sliding Force = Lateral wind force for empty tank = 647.78 KN
Resisting Force = m x vertical load of empty tank = 698.93 KN

Factor of safety = Sliding force/Resisting force = 1.08 TANK IS NOT SAFE AGAINST SLIDING

DESIGN OF REINFORCEMENT: Surcharge load DW1

Density of soil = g soil = 17.658 N/mm y

Surcharge load = DW1 = 18 N/mm
Depth of footing = h = 2.10 m Ka gc (h + h')
Active earthpresure coefficient = Ka = 0.50
Effective height = ( h ' = DW1/ g soil ) = 1.019367992 m

Hoop Stress P = 1/2 Ka gsoil h ( h + 2 h ' ) 38.367945 KN/m

Now tensile force 'T' in ring foundation due to hoop stresses and surcharge load is
calculated as follows,
Hoop force F = P x Di 688.7813486 KN
