It is necessary to take into account various factors such as the volume of the storage tank, the properties of the substance being stored (bulk density, state of motion), and the type of foundation to be used!
If you are doing the calculations manually, you can refer to SH/T3058-2005 \"Code for Basic Design of Heat Exchanger Equipment and Vessels in Petrochemical Enterprises\"; if using software, you can simply employ tower foundation design software.
Analogize it to the existing equipment foundation in your unit.
