Notes
* Regions of low seismicity or in seismic areas where the tank diameter
to height ratio is such that there is no uplift of the tank shell or small
sloshing effect. The magnitude of lateral forces, overturning
moments, and associated hydrodynamic mass be determined to
assess their impact on tank shell and foundation design
A concrete leveling ring can be used under the tank shell in the
gravel ring wall foundation. This leveling ring is 200mm deep by
300mm wide unreinforced concrete whose primary function is to
provide a stable level base upon which the fabricator can build the
tank shell wall. Additional advantages of the leveling ring are to
distribute concentrated shell loads on to the gravel ring wall and
minimize edge settlement under seismic condition

1. Input Load Case Name & Load Case Value in Load Case dialog
window and set Load Combination in Load Combination dialog
window.
2. Make Load Combination using Import Function in Load
Combination Window, and go to Load Case Window, then Load
Case is automatically input.
After following 1 or 2 steps above, input Load Case Value for each
pier.
Default Load Combination in AFES has the function that can design
Tank Foundation by importing Vessel_Load_comb_1.txt file in
Data Directory.
Pier External Loading Sign Convention is as below.
Axial Loads (Fz), Shear Loads (Fx, Fy), Moment(Mx, My, Mz)
Axial Loads are negative downwards. Shear are positive if applied in
the positive direction of X and Y Axis. Moments Mx are positive if
applied in the counter-clockwise direction about the positive (+X) axis.
Moments My are positive if applied in the clockwise direction about the
positive (+Y) Axis.
2. Click Load Case Icon, then Load Case Dialog will display.
3. Choose Node to add Load Case. (EX. Choose Node 1, 3.)
4. Choose Unassigned Load Case in Show state of Load Case.
5. Choose Load Case in List Box, and click Save command button.
6. To add more Load Cases, repeat step c). Added Load Case is
displayed in Spread.

To design a Ring Wall Pier, choose Footing in Footing List and Pier
in Pier List, then click Calculation (One) command button.
Detail Report Tab is activated, and Design Result of Ring Wall is
displayed.
13. Click Calculation (All) command button to design multiple Ring
Wall. Detail Report Tab is activated, and Design Result of Ring
Wall is displayed.
