3600 vertical Vertebral body storage tank; the client requires leg-type supports to be used

Dear experts: It’s a 3600-liter vertical tank with a cylinder height of 4.5 meters. The client requires the use of leg-type supports – how should this be designed? It would be best to have existing drawings available for reference. Thank you

When designing the leg supports for a 3600-liter vertical tank, factors such as the tank’s own weight, the weight of the medium stored within it, wind loads, vibrations, and earthquakes must be taken into consideration. The specific design steps are as follows: 1. Calculate the total weight of the tank and the storage medium. 2. Determine the number and layout of supports; typically, there are 3 or 4 supports, arranged in an equilateral triangle or rectangular pattern. 3. Perform calculations for the strength and stability of the leg supports based on weight and layout. 4. Design the support details, including the connection between the support and the tank body, as well as the connection between the support and the foundation; anti-tilting mechanisms may also be required when necessary. 5. Prepare detailed drawings based on the calculation and design results. For existing drawings, since the specific design depends on various factors such as the tank specifications and the owner’s requirements, it is recommended that you consult a professional design firm or search for similar designs in relevant engineering design standards and databases for reference. If the owner or the design entity has relevant design specifications or standards, these should be followed in the design process. In practical operations, it is essential to comply with relevant safety regulations to ensure the safety and reliability of the design. .
