?

= 20 kN/m and F = 26
Ps= 1318.81/1668.29 = 0.79 kN/m
Po = Ps x ?a
where, ?a is the earth pressure coefficient for the at rest condition, ?a = 1-si
nF.
Po = 0.79 x 0.561 = 0.44 kN/m
Therefore horizontal pressure applied on the foundation ring from the bottom pla
te is:
Ph= po x h = 0.44 x 1.50 = 0.66 kN/m
Where
h
is the height of the ring wall.
Horizontal soil pressure from tank fluid pressure (dead load):
The horizontal soil pressure is calculated using the following formula:
Po = Ps x ?a = 73.56x 0.43 = 31.63 kN/m (top of the ring wall).
Note, however, that this formula can only be used in cases with non-deformable s
tructures, i.e. the foundation ring. Also, soil cohesion will not be considered.
P1 = 31.03 + (20.0 x 0.561x 1.50) = 35.98 kN/m (bottom of the ring
