Can a 30-ton steel-lined storage tank be placed directly on a concrete foundation without embedded steel plates or foot bolts? Are there any regulatory requirements? It’s useless to use embedded steel plates either; they can’t be welded to the steel-lined tank
Check the length-to-diameter ratio. If it’s too high, foot bolts are needed
What is the height-to-diameter ratio required for foot bolts? Are there any regulations for this?
Whether anchoring is required is related to the length-diameter ratio, internal and external pressures, wind pressure, and earthquakes; the calculation is carried out in accordance with standard 50341
