Soil-structure interaction effects for API Std 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank

BBN excels in the design, fabrication and erection of API-650 tanks. API (American Petroleum Institute) has created a set of standards for above ground API Std 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank oil storage, but these tanks are also commonly used for gasoline, chemical and water storage. API-650 storage tank solutions range in size from an 8’ -0” diameter shop fabricated tank up to and beyond 100’ -0” diameter field erected storage tank applications.

Compared with the external floating roof API Std 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank, the internal floating roof API Std 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank has the advantages of protecting the floating roof from wind and rain and ensuring the quality of liquid storage under the floating roof. At the same time, because the inner floating plate is in the tank, there is no rain and snow load, so the central drainage pipe and escalator and other accessories on the floating plate can be omitted. In addition, under the same sealing conditions, the internal floating roof tank can further reduce the evaporation loss compared with the External floating roof tank.

When the API Std 650 unanchored flat-bottom tank 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.
