E-4] Resistance to the overturning moment at the bottom of the shell may be provided by the weight of the tank shell and by the anchorage of the tank shell, or, for unanchored tanks, the weight of a portion of the tank contents adjacent to the shell. For unanchored tanks, the portion of the contents that may be used to resist overturning depends on the width of the bottom plate under the shell that lifts off the foundation and may be determined as follows : w L = 7.9 t b ( F by G H ) 0.5 lb/ft However, w L shall not exceed 1.25 G H D lb/ft Where, w L = max. weight of the tank contents that may be used to resist the shell overturning moment, w L1 = 7.9 t b ( F by G H ) lb/ft w L2 = 1.25 G H D lb/ft Use w L = Min ( w L1, w L2 ) lb/ft t b = Thickness of the bottom plate under the shell INCH MM F by = Min. specified yield strength of the bottom plate under the shell PSI G = Design specific gravity of the liquid to be stored 1

When M / [ D 2 (w t + w L )] <= b = w t M / D lb/ft II. When < M / [ D 2 (w t + w L )] <= b may be computed from the value of (b + w L )/ (w t + w L ) obtained from Figure E-5. Value obtained from Figure E-5 2 b = ( w t + w L ). Value from Figure E-5 - w L lb/ft III. When 1.5 < M / [ D 2 (w t + w L )] <= b = ( w + w ) M 1 2 D ( w t + wl ) t L 0. 5 w L lb/ft VI. For M / [ D 2 (w t + w L )] > or when b / 12 t > F a Value b / 12 t PSI < Fa Value Fa PSI OK In case b/12 t > Fa, the tank is structurally unstable. It is necessary to take one of the following measures : a. Increase the thickness of the bottom plate under the shell, tb, to increase wl without exceeding the limitations of E.4.1 and E.4.2. b. Increase the shell thickness, t (see Item 9.5 for shell courses). c. Change the proportions of the tank to increase the dia. and reduce the height. d. Anchor the tank in accordance with E.6.

E.5.2] For anchored tanks, the max. longitudinal compressive force at the bottom of shell, b = w t M / D lb/ft 9.4. Max. Allowable Shell Compression [Para. E.5.3] The max. longitudinal compressive stress in the shell, b / 12 t, shall not exceed the max. allowable stress, Fa determined by the following formulas for Fa, which take into account the effect of internal pressure due to the liquid contents. G H D2 / t > When G H D 2 / t 2 >= 10 6, Fa = 10 6 t / D PSI - When G H D 2 / t 2 < 10 6, Fa = 10 6 t / 2.5 D (G H ) PSI However, Fa shall not be greater than 0.5 F ty 0.5 F ty PSI OK where, t = thickness of the bottom shell course, excl. any corr. allow INCH F a = Max. allowable longit. compressive stress in the shell PSI F ty = Min. specified yield strength of the bottom shell course PSI 9.5. Upper Shell Course [Para. E.5.4] If the thickness of the lower shell course calculated to resist the seismic overturning moment is greater than the thickness required for hydrostatic pressure, both excluding any corrosion allowance, then the calculated thickness of each upper shell course for hydrostatic pressure shall be increased in the same proportion, unless a special analysis is made to determine the seismic overturning moment and corresponding stresses at the bottom of each upper shell course Anchorage of Tanks [Para. E.6] When anchorage is provided, it shall be designed to provide the following min. anchorage resistance in lb/ft of shell circumference : Min. anchorage resistance = M / D 2 - w t lb/ft
