How should the settlement holes for the large tanks on site be designed, and where should they be located? It seems that the information is only available on the pillars of the spherical tank.
After the oil tank has been lifted into place, a water filling test must be conducted. Before filling it with water, use a level to determine the elevation of the reinforcement ends that protrude outside the circumference of the tank’s foundation. After filling it with water, take another measurement. By comparing the results of these various measurements, it is possible to determine the amount of settlement that occurs as a result of filling it with water. Once the tank is in use, request the measurement records from the client; use the latest measurement data and compare it with your current readings to find out how much settlement has taken place
Settlement is a process that occurs gradually; therefore, it represents the amount of settlement that has taken place from one date in a given year to another. To determine how much settlement has occurred, it is necessary to find the data from the previous measurement and compare it with the current measurement. The method of measurement involves finding a reference point that does not change over a short period of time, and then measuring various observation points on the storage tank; this is the level measurement method. Since some observation points may not be visible, the measurements are transferred to those points
