Analysis of foundation methods on weak foundations for steel vertical tanks
The modern development of the oil industry has undoubtedly been associated with the construction of containers for storing both finished oil products and raw materials. Uneven precipitation and large area loads that are transmitted to the base give the tank its design features. During the operation of steel vertical tanks (TVS), it is not uncommon to experience emergency situations associated with a violation of the stability of the base or insufficient reliability of the tank itself. When designing and building, it is necessary to take into account geotechnical conditions and economic requirements. The article discusses various types of foundation designs and the possibility of their application depending on a number of conditions. The methods of arranging the bases for steel vertical tanks are analyzed, based on the construction area and the possibility of delivery of building materials. In addition to the basic options for the implementation of foundations and bottoms, special types of tank structures for oil and oil products are considered.
