How to design a tank with an inclined bottom
Thread Content
Tanks like this have an inclined bottom, with one side being higher than the other. For such atmospheric pressure storage tanks, how should the thickness of the bottom plate be determined? How should the reinforcing ribs be arranged, and what thickness should they have? I’m asking the experts here for help – those who have not worked on this type of structure usually design them with a flat bottom.
It’s sufficient to use a sloped foundation directly; it’s not that complicated
Technical issues and need to discuss privately in a message
Do you mean that the foundation under the storage tank should be made inclined, without reinforcement plates, and the thickness of the bottom plate should be determined as for a regular tank with a flat bottom?

Add the static pressure of the liquid column to calculate the thickness
How is it calculated? Could you please explain in detail?
The static pressure of the liquid column plus the design pressure is used as the calculation pressure in accordance with Article 5.9.5 of GB150.3-2011
Don’t pressure vessels have reinforced flat lids?
For a reinforced flat cover, the pressure calculation requires considering the decomposition of the medium’s gravity into a force acting perpendicular to the bottom plate
