Problems with spherical tank foundations
Thread Content
A foundation needs to be built for a spherical tank with a volume of 1,000 cubic units; I’m not sure how to go about it. That hero gave some guidance.
There are two scenarios: with pile driving and without it. Once the diameter of the spherical tank and its own weight are provided by the equipment specialists, calculations can be carried out to ensure that the foundation can withstand the required loads and that settlement remains within acceptable limits; the foundations for oil tanks can serve as a reference.
It is generally designed as a ring beam foundation, with the equipment team providing the reaction forces at the base of the columns
We are currently working on the foundation for our 1,000 cubic meter dimethyl ether sphere tank: ring girders and octagonal supports are being used, with 500 mm PHC pipe piles employed. This was designed by a professional design institute. The terrain here is quite special, so piles with a diameter of 400 are sufficient. . .
