How should the foundations for storage tanks containing liquids with a medium self-weight of more than 10 kN/m³, as well as acidic and alkaline corrosive liquids, be designed?
Thread Content
What should be done for the foundations of storage tanks containing liquids with a specific gravity greater than 10 kN/㎥, as well as liquids that are corrosive due to acids or bases? Which specification should be referred to? I see that the \"Code for Design of Foundation of Steel Storage Tanks\" specifies that for tank foundations, the weight of the medium should not exceed 10 kN/㎡; this is not the approach used for tanks holding corrosive liquids.
What are everyone’s opinions on this issue? I request expert advice
Are there any other standards that can be used as a basis for strong acids and strong bases? I would appreciate some guidance from those who know more
There are currently no established standards, so the aforementioned standards can still be used as a reference; in addition, external anti-corrosion measures should be taken
