The tank foundation is the earth and according to API 650 the concrete ring beam is not mandatory but recommended only for large tanks Because the concrete ring wall purpose is only to stiffen the bottom of tank shell and to ensure a less prejudictible dsitribution of tank shell deformation on the earth foundation A lot of people do not really know how does work an API 650 tank foundation Sorry SynClaire but the ring ground beam of an API 650 AST is not the foundation of the tank .
