Which expert knows why the bottom of a vertical tank is designed in this way
Thread Content
Does anyone know why longitudinal and transverse ribs are added to the bottom of a tank? Can’t it be placed directly on the ground without those ribs? Does anyone know? Is there any standard for this?
1. Increase the strength of the bottom plate; 2. Improve the flatness of the bottom plate, which facilitates waste discharge. There is no standard for this
In flat-bottomed storage tanks, taking into account the discharge of materials, the bottom is generally not flat; instead, it is sloped as a whole, with a higher area in the middle and lower areas on the sides, so that all the materials can be completely discharged. If the entire bottom is in contact with the ground, the flange connections on the sides will definitely be at a certain height above the ground, making it impossible to drain completely.
A flat bottom can easily bulge if there is no support
Strengthening is necessary to prevent excessive deformation after processing; in addition, micro-negative pressure devices usually have their bottom and top plates reinforced to meet the requirements

It’s usually designed to remove residues; it’s slightly higher in the middle and lower around the edges, with generally similar levels throughout
Reinforcement plate! Prevent deformation and enhance strength!
