Our company is constructing a storage tank with a capacity of 8,000 cubic meters and a diameter of 23 meters. We are currently conducting flushing tests. What is the maximum allowable value for uneven settlement? Thank you

1) Planar inclination (in any diameter direction): Floating roof tanks and internal floating roof tanks -- 0.006D; Fixed roof tanks -- 0.01D. 2) Non-planar inclination (non-peripheral uneven settlement): Floating roof tanks and internal floating roof tanks: ΔS/l < 0.0025 ； Fixed-roof tanks: ΔS/l < 0.004. For more details, refer to the \"Code for Design of Foundations of Steel Storage Tanks in Petrochemical Enterprises\"

Is a storage tank with a volume of 8,000 cubic meters and a diameter of 23 meters a bit small? Could I see the drawings?
