FOUNDATION TYPES
Types of foundations normally considered as are the following: Gravel ring walls supporting the tank shell. Concrete ring walls supporting the tank shell. Concrete mat on grade supporting the entire tank. Concrete mat on piles supporting the entire tank. Concrete rib beams and mat foundation for cold storage tanks. Concrete mat and heating coils for cold storage tanks.
Foundation type to be utilized depends on the design requirements, type of tank, tank dimensions, soil and site conditions, environmental conditions, material availability, local codes, and Client requirements. 1
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Assumptions: The center to center diameter of ring wall is equal to the nominal tank diameter. If not applicable, an alternate foundation type shall be used.
W=
Bottom Plate Weight = steel x Bottom Plate Thickness x Bottom Plate Area
t.cal =
2 xW q x H 2 x h x ( c s )
t.min = 300 mm
s =
s 1 x h1 + s 2 x h2
h1 + h2
Where:
q = unit weight of Tank fluid c = unitweight of concrete h1, h2 : Filling material height of ring wall s 1, s 2 : unitweight of soil under Tank W = weight of Tank shell plus the tributary weight of a cone perimeter of circumference N = thickness of Tank shell plate H = height of Tank h = height of Ring wall D = tan k diameter

Storage Tank Foundation Analysis and Design Guide Editing footing size and other parameters
The Feature Data (Dimension) command is used to define the dimensions and other parameters necessary for the foundation and piers.
Plan footing dimensions should be in even 2 inch (50 mm) increments. The footing thickness shall be 12 inches (300 mm) minimum and thickened in 4 inch(=100 mm) increments. Size for both footings should normally be the same. The footing thickness adequate for embedment of pier or column reinforcement should be checked in accordance with Building Code. If top tension exists, the footing thickness shall be checked in accordance with Building Code. For thin footings with a large concentrated pier moment, the possibility of the moment increasing the punching shear should be considered similar to the way it would be for slabs (refer to Building Code). Engineering judgment should be used in deciding when this might be applicable.

Storage Tank Foundation Analysis and Design Guide Pier and Footing Reinforcement
The Reinforcement Data command is used to assign bar sizes and spacing for piers and footings. Reinforcement bar sizes depend on the design code designated in the Setting of Constant command. Set of bar array options are available in the Footing option. The arrangement of footing bars are parallel to the X and Y axis except for Tank1 and Tank2 Ring type modules which are in radial and longitudinal directions.
Minimum Pier Reinforcement Piers should be designed as cantilever beams with two layers of reinforcement. When the required reinforcing approaches max, investigate the pier as a column. Size and reinforcement for each pier should normally be the same. Dowel splices are not required if the vertical pier reinforcing projection is less than 6 feet in height, or the rebar size in feet above the top of the footing. For cases that exceed this limit, use dowels with minimum projections required for tension splices in accordance with Building Code. Minimum reinforcing for piers is #5 at 12 inches on each face with #4 ties at 12 inches. Place double ties at top of piers to protect anchor bolts. All ties should encircle the vertical reinforcement. Pier ties are not normally detailed as column ties. If longitudinal reinforcing is not required to resist vertical loads, as is normally the case, through ties are not required. Size and reinforcement for both columns should normally be the same. Use dowels to transfer the column loads to the footings. Minimum dowel projection should be that required for a tension splice in accordance with Building Code.
Minimum Footing Reinforcement The minimum amount of bottom reinforcing is #5 at 12 inches c/c. If top reinforcing is required, minimum reinforcing is #4 at 12 inches c/c.

Storage Tank Foundation Analysis and Design Guide Set Pile Layout for Pile Foundations
The Pile Data command is used to layout and assign piles in the foundation. Regular pile arrangements are available for circular or rectangular arrays.
This function is activated only when the selected type is Pile fdn. in the Assign Foundation Grouping command. Define pile features first before proceeding to this function in the Setting of Constant command.
Click Pile Data command. Select Array Wizard tab. Select Origin Point. Select PHC-12 from the Pile Name selection. Set Circular option. Enter Star Angle, No. and Pile Circle Dia. (PCD). Click Regenerate button. Click OK button.
28
Repeat above steps in creating new circular pile array arrangement then click Add Draw to include to defined pile arrangement.
Assigned load cases can be combined with factors in accordance with a few design methods and specifications. Mainly applied load combinations are Allowable Strength Load Combination and Ultimate Load Combination. Combinations by Allowable Strength Design are normally applied with 1.0 factored value.
The purpose of the combinations is to take into account soil bearing capacity, sliding, overturning, uplift check, and pile capacity check for a pile supported foundation.
Combinations referring to Ultimate Strength Design are used for footing reinforcement, pier design, one way shear check, and taking different factors for various cases.
29
DESIGN LOADS The following design loads shall be considered for design of the foundations.
Erection Weight (De1) The erection weight is defined as the fabricated weight of the vessel, including internals and attachments that are installed integrally with the vessel. This information is taken from the vessel drawings. Verify that all items which are to be erected with the vessel are included in the erection weight.
Empty Weight (De2) The empty weight is defined as the in-place weight of the completed exchanger/vessel (De1) plus the weight of internals, piping, insulation, and ladders and platforms, but excluding the weights of fluids or products which will be placed in the exchanger/vessel during operation. This information is taken from the vessel/exchanger drawings/data sheets and planning study drawings.
Operating Weight (Do) The operating weight (also called "wet weight") is defined as the empty weight of the exchanger/vessel (De2) plus the weight of operating fluids or products. Verification of the operating conditions may be required from the Process Engineering Discipline. This information is taken from the vessel/exchanger drawings/data sheets.
Test Weight (Dt) The test weight is defined as the empty weight of the exchanger/vessel (De2) plus the weight of test fluid (usually water) and any attached piping and equipment required for the hydrostatic test. This
information is taken from the vessel/exchanger drawings/data sheets. Note that this load condition is considered only when the exchanger/vessel is to be field-hydrotested. Verify with the Mechanical Discipline for this condition.
Wind Loads (W) Transverse and longitudinal wind loads shall be determined in accordance with Design Guide 3DG-C0100001 unless project criteria dictates otherwise. No allowance shall be made for shielding of wind loads by nearby equipment. The calculated design moments and shears due to wind load should be compared to those shown on the exchanger/vessel drawings. In case of major discrepancies between calculated 30
Seismic Loads (E) Seismic loads shall be determined in accordance with procedures presented in Company Design Guide unless project criteria dictates otherwise. The longitudinal seismic force shall be resisted by the fixed end pier only unless the piers are tied together by tie beams below the base plates. Transverse seismic forces shall be resisted by both piers using saddle or base plate reactions as the basis for computing base shear. The horizontal seismic loads shall be applied 100% in one direction and 30% in the orthogonal direction, i.e., E = (1.0 EH1 0.3 EH2) and E = (0.3 EH1 1.0 EH2).
LOAD COMBINATIONS
Concrete Foundation Design The following factored load combinations should be used for design of the foundations (a) 1.4 (Do + T + Dp)
(g) 1.2 Dt The load factors shown above are based on ACI 318, except for load combinations (c) and (e), which are based on the slightly more conservative requirements of IBC 2000. Also, in load combination (g), the factor of 1.2 is used (instead of 1.4) due to the transient nature of hydrotesting conditions. The load combinations 0.9D (1.6W or 1.0E), as listed in ACI 318, do not need to be considered since they are covered by load combinations (b) and (c).
31
Wind load is calculated in accordance with ASCE 7-98 (including the directionality factor) and seismic load is calculated in accordance with IBC 2000 (based on strength-level methods, rather than servicelevel). If wind load is calculated using another code which does not include the wind directionality factor, the load factors for wind in the various load combinations should be reduced appropriately. Similarly, for service-level seismic loads based on another code, the seismic load factors should be increased as appropriate. (See Section R9.2 of ACI 318 for guidance.)
The weight of the foundation and of the soil on top of the foundation shall be included as dead load in all of these load combinations.
You can actually create new load combinations through the Load Combination button but in this example, we will use Import command.
Click Import button. Access the load combination file then click Open button.

Select appropriate button as explained in the warning message form. Click Save button.

Storage Tank Foundation Analysis and Design Guide Assigning Equipment Data
Equipment data is essential for Storage Tank Foundations. Empty load is used to determine required ring wall thickness to be compared to the minimum allowed. Nevertheless, the input load values for the Empty, Operation and testing weights may need to be entered again in the load case tables as they have no direct links. Tank dimensions and soil parameters including of the backfill materials are also necessary.
Figure 1: Sample equipment input data for a certain equipment type normally used for Storage Tanks.
Storage Tank Foundation Analysis and Design Guide Performing Design and Analysis functions
AFES executes Foundation Analysis and Design according to design standards widely accepted. It is assumed that all external forces are loaded at the center of the piers and the connection between the pier and the footing is considered to be rigid enough to carry those forces. Strength, stability and sectional design of components of footing, pier, corbels and tie girders are properly examined.
The design codes of AFES support ACI318-99, 02, BS 8110, Korean, AIJ-WSD99, CP-65 and IS456 (2000). Click on the Foundation Analysis/Design button to be able to start analysis and design.
