 SIZING OF OIL TANK

A) SIZING AND GEOMETRY

Weight of Oil with 10% margin = 68760 kg = 1.2 x 57300 kg

Denisity of Oil = 900 kg/m³
Total Design Volume for tank = 76.40 m³
Assumed clear Plan dimensions = 9.00 m x 4.00 m Common Oil tank is sized to accomudate total Voulme
of oil from One Transformer with 20% additional
Depth Required (for Liquid) = 2.12 m margin.
Road Level = 0.000 m
Soil fill depth above Tank = 1.40 m
Top Slab Thickness = 0.30 m
Free board = 0.20 m
Dia of inlet pipe = 0.20 m
Total Clear Depth (Required) = 2.52 m
Total Clear Depth (Taken) = 2.55 m
Actual Depth of Liquid = 2.15 m
Base Slab Thickness = 0.35 m
Side Walls Thickness = 0.30 m
Top level of the tank = -1.400 m
Bottom level of tank Foundation = -4.600 m

 LOAD CALCULATIONS

LOADS ON TANK TOP SLAB:

DEAD LOAD :.
A) Self weight of Top Slab
Thickness of tank top slab = 300 mm

B) Weight soil/road on the slab.

Height of soil Fill = 1.400 m
Density of soil / road = 22 kN/m²
Weight due to Soil. = 1.4 x 22
= 30.80 kN/m²

LIVE LOAD :
C) Load due to HS-20 vehicle :
Load due to one Axle ( 32000 lbs ) = 142.34 kN
Load due to one wheel (16000 lbs ) = 71.17 kN

Ay+2(Hfill+d)
Bx = 450 mm
Ay = 380 mm

Ay
H fill = 1400 mm
Bx+2(d+Hfill) = 3250 mm Bx
Ay+2(d+Hfill) = 3180 mm
Dispersion area = 10.34 m²
Bx+2(Hfill+d)
Uniform Load on Top Slab = 71.17/10.34
= 6.89 kN/m²
UL on Top Slab due to overlap = 13.78 kN/m²

D) LOAD DUE TO EARTH PRESSURE :

Density of soil = 22 kN/m²
Earth pressure Co-eff. at rest Ko = 0.5
Depth of tank base from soil surface = 4.6 m
Earth pressure on tank walls at top = 0.5 x 1.4 x 22
= 15.40 kN/m²
Earth pressure on tank walls at bottom = 0.5 x 4.6 x 22
= 50.60 kN/m²
E) LATERAL LIVE LOAD DUE TO HS-20 VEHICLE:

Load due to HS-20 loading on walls = 2.346 + 0.91

= 3.26 kN/m²

F) LOAD DUE TO FLUID PRESSURE :

Depth of OIL h = 2.150 m
Denisty of OIL g = 9.00 kN/m³

Pressure due to OIL on tank walls ( P1 ) = 2.15 X 9

@bottom of wall = 19.35 kN/m²

OIL pressure on tank Base ( P 2 ) = 2.15 X 9

= 19.35 kN/m²
