CHECK FOR RING BEARING PRESSURE

1) BEARING PRESSURE FOR FULL LOAD OF TANK

Allowable bearing capacity of soil = 700.00 N/mm 2

Allowable bearing capacity of soil Lateral loads) = 931.00 N/mm 2
(Allowable value is 33% increased for lateral loads)

Stress on ring when tank is full = s = Pmax/A = 159.26 KN/m OK , FOOTING IS SAFE 3.33 ksf

2) SEISMIC LOAD:
SEISMIC LOAD WHEN TANK IS FULL

s max , min = P/A + M y/I + T where A=area of ring foundation. y =Dia of tank /2
M = Overturning Moment I = Moment of Inertia. T= Increased Load Due to ME
