Oil storage tank foundation can be considered as ring wall if the storage tank doesn’t lay on the weak soil. The ring wall foundation dimension (thickness) can be calculated base on below consideration:

1. The I.E. Boberg Equation
T = 24 W / (q.H-80h)
where:
W = weight of shell supported on the ring wall (lb/ft)
H = height of tank shell (ft)
h = height of ring wall (ft)
q = weight of storage product lb/ft3)
T = minimum thickness of ring wall foundation (in)

Storage Tank Foundation

2. API 650 (Appendix B.4.2.2)
When a concrete ring wall designed, it shall be proportioned so that the allowable soil bearing is not exceeded. The ringwall shall not be less than 300mm (12in) thick.

1. CREATE STRUCTURE MODEL FOR LIFTING

a) Determine padeye location (4 padeye for commonly use): this padeye’s location usually determining by suitable location on field.
b) Determine rigging point location (for dragging structure during lifting), usually use 1 – 2 point of rigging. Because of this rigging will make the structure to move along x or y direction (by dragging use rope or something), so use fixity: 110 000 and/or 100 000 and/or 010 000 (by try and error). Note: after run this SACS you may encounter the warning on message area because of this fixity (by try and error), it’s still acceptable if this warning “MAX iterations below 6”.

 

Strucuture Lift Analysis

c) Determine hook point location, this locations determining by searching the CoG (Centre of Gravity) of the structure with some height so that the minimum angle to horizontal would be 60 degrees or more.

The under construction Burj Dubai in Dubai, United Arab Emirates is the world’s current tallest freestanding structure on land, rising 604.9 m (1,985 ft). When completed, it is planned to rise over 800 m (2,625 ft). This building estimated completion will be around December 2008. Current skyscrapers (five tallest buildings in the world) compared with notable under construction skyscraper can be seen below.
