Discussion on the potential for tank slippage
Thread Content
Hello everyone, according to clause 10.9.2 of GB50341-2014, shallow drainage grooves should be used for storage tanks that are prone to sliding. According to clause 11.1.6 of GB50341-2014, \"when performing slip checks on storage tanks, the friction coefficient between the tank body and the foundation should be taken as 0.4.\" In regular design work, I often overlook this clause 11.1.6. I’m not sure whether slip checking is necessarily required for oil tanks
It’s not certain; it depends on the circumstances. Generally, it is earthquakes that cause sliding
The PVDESKTOP software from LPEC checked for this issue when calculating storage tanks
PV Desktop has calculated it
Excuse me, do you know how this base wind shear is calculated? My understanding is “basic wind pressure X diameter X height”, but the result I get is different from that of PV Desktop
