API 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks knuckles

The company's sales department has a professional team, they have professional steel knowledge, respond quickly, with the problems raised by customers can quickly give solutions, put the interests of customers first. With their own professional knowledge to provide customers with high-quality steel plate in line with the requirements. At the same time, in terms of price, we also have great advantages. Members of the business department make sure that the delivery time is short and the service is the best.

Usually, the soil resistance of the foundation should be considered before the design and construction of API 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks. The soil endurance in the API 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks construction area plays a decisive role in the basic cost of the tank. In areas with high soil resistance, not only the cost of foundation treatment can be greatly reduced, but also the ratio of height to diameter of storage tank can be obtained. Therefore, the investment cost of the API 650 ground supported flat-bottom tanks can be greatly saved in the area with large soil resistance.

Soil Structure Interaction: Soil structure interaction per API 650, Section E.6.1.6 may be used for OLE design providing the damping ratio does not exceed 10 %.
Allowable Stresses
Design allowable stresses shall be per API 620 large welded steel storage tank, Section Q.3.3, including the 33 % increase permitted for earthquake loads.
Self-anchored Inner Tank
The anchorage ratio for a self-anchored inner tank, J, shall not exceed 1.0 for the OLE design combination to limit uplift and stresses in the annular plate and corner weld.
Foundation Stability
The overturning ratio defined in API 650, Section E.6.2.3, Equation (E.6.2.3-1) shall be equal to or greater than 3.0 for the defined OLE event.
