(A) Time Periods and Seismic Coefficients: 11. Stability For Seismic Design Load

This document summarizes the calculations for stability analysis of a 16m diameter steel storage tank during seismic loading. Key results include: - The tank is self-anchored for the seismic load case based on its calculated anchor ratio J being less than 0.785. - Maximum compressive shell membrane force is 13938.1 N/m which results in a compressive stress of 1.548 MPa, less than the allowable. - Minimum required width of annular plate is 0.56m which meets the specified criteria. - The tank foundation is stable against overturning as the calculated overturning moment is negative. Bearing pressure on the foundation is 13938.1 N/m

Ws +Wrs = Shell wt + Fixed Roof Wt including framing, appurtanance ,attachment, etc

Weight of tank shell

FP.wint = Uplift due to product int. pr.

Calculation of Anchorage Ratio " J "

Thickness of 1st
(bottom) shell course t = 9.00 mm (corroded)

Anchor Ratio J = Mrw / {D2 (wt (1 -0.4* Av) + wa - FP.wint)}

= 0.707404415 (For Corroded Condition Wt)


0.654989871 (For Un-corroded Condition Wt)

Tank in Corroded Condition


Case 1 : J < = .785 , No uplift , Tank is Self-Anchored for Seismic Load.

Tank in Uncorroded Condition


Case 1 : J < = .785 , No uplift , Tank is Self-Anchored for Seismic Load.

( Not Applicable for Present Case)

Check for Foundation Overturning Stability Due to Seismic Moment


(Equation E.6.2.3.-1 Re-arranged)

0.5D * [ W p + W f + W T + W fd + W g ] / Ms >= 2
OR
[ W p + W f + W T ] + ( Wfd + W g ) >= 4Ms / D

where
(Wfd + W g ) = Wt of Foundation & Soil (Inclusive of Soil Over Footing)
Wp = Wt of Design Product Contented in Tank
Wf = Wt of Bottom Plate of Tank
WT = Wt of Shell, Roof Plate & Framing, Appurtances , Attachment
[ Wp + WT + Wf ] = Wop (total operating wt.of tank)
= 3606.122 tonne

Rewriting Above Equation gives:-

(Wfd + W g ) >= 4MRF / D - Wop

>= -3316.3906 tonne
