Is there a strict gap maintained between the spiral staircase of large storage tanks and the concrete floor? It shouldn’t be welded

Should there be a gap between the spiral staircase of large storage tanks and the concrete floor? Shouldn’t it be welded? Where is this regulation?
To prevent the storage tank from sinking, it is necessary to ensure that the turntable has enough space for expansion, so as to avoid deformation or cracking of the turntable and even damage to the storage tank.
The bottom step is suspended to maintain the expansion length.
The established “rules” stem from practice. It is better to control problems that have occurred or may occur, both in theory and in practice, at their source. Relying on \"regulations\" when encountering problems is not advisable; for reference only.
I know that. I’d like to find out if there are any national or industry standards that specify specific numerical requirements for this gap

It’s impossible to specify exactly how much should be left; the standards don’t provide fixed figures for such data. Settlement amounts vary depending on the type of foundation, the methods used for foundation treatment, and the form of the foundation itself.
Not quite sure; it’s in the hospital’s standard atlas.
Settling must definitely be taken into account for large storage tanks
