storage tank is used to store all kinds of liquid, solid and gas materials. The common types of storage tank are oil tank, water storage tank, chemical tank, cement tank, API 650 ground supported liquid storage tanks, etc. When choosing the storage tank, users should choose according to their actual needs, such as the material, pressure, form, capacity, temperature, density, etc. In addition, the environmental factors such as the temperature of the tank construction area, the ground endurance of the foundation, and the wind force should be considered.

API Standard 620 tank Appendix C describes the factors involved in obtaining adequate foundations for tanks that operate at atmospheric temperature. The foundations for refrigerated tanks are complicated because of the thermal movement of the tank, the insulation required for the bottom, the effects of foundation freezing and possible frost heaving, and the anchorage required to resist uplift. The services of a qualified foundation engineer are essential. Experience with tanks in the area may provide sufficient data, but normally a thorough investigation, including soil tests, would be required for proper design of the foundation.
