	No single concrete ring wall foundation design is suitable for all situations. Does the tank contain a chemical or water or crude oil ?.... Each would require a different design. The ring wall design depends on allowable soil pressures for the site. One design does not fill all circumstances. Some tank foundations in areas of very soft soils require large concrete pads and expensive piles Some large flat-bottomed storage tanks are designed for horizontal loadings (seismic design) and seismic sloshing. This will severely affect the final foundation design. Storage tanks must be designed and certified by an engineer and installed by an experienced construction firm. Welds must be inspected, certified and joints tested. Slapping together important construction details from strangers on the internet is choosing a road to disaster...... __________________ We have met the enemy....and he is us. POGO

	It depends a lot upon which liquid is in the tank, which detail has been withheld from the forum: a light petroleum distillate will require one approach; a liquid such as mercury [Hg] would need another. __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856
