API standard 650 self-anchored flat-bottom tanks seismic base shear

The seismic effects on the tank wall of API 650 oil storage tank include the inertia moment generated by the weight of the API standard 650 self-anchored flat-bottom tanks tank and the hydrodynamic pressure of the reservoir, which can be divided into short period pulse pressure and long period fluid slopping convective pressure.

When the API standard 650 self-anchored flat-bottom tanks top shell course is the minimum thickness indicated in 5.10.4, Table 5-6 and Figure 5-6, details a – e, h and i, the minimum anchorage shall be designed for normal loads as specified by the Purchaser and by this standard. See 5.11.2.3 for the allowable stress. When the top shell course is thickened beyond the minimum thickness provided in Table 5-6 or as in Figure 5-6, details f and g, or a knuckle is used, the minimum anchorage shall be designed for three times the internal design pressure. The allowable stress for this loading is 90% of the minimum specified yield strength of anchorage material.

Requirements for prefabrication of the top of large vertical API standard 650 self-anchored flat-bottom tanks: The prefabrication of the tank top shall be prefabricated in blocks according to the drawings. Pay attention to the spacing of the welds after installation when setting out the material. Reinforcing ribs should be formed and inspected with an arc-shaped template. When a single top plate needs to be spliced, butt joints should be used. The forming of a single top plate should be welded between the reinforcing ribs and the top plate on the mould. After forming, check with an arc-shaped sample plate, and the gap should not be greater than 10 mm.
