1-Footing Design: 2 - Codes
The footings are similar for both Butane and Propane product.
The design is done for the heaviest weight of stored product (Butane) :
Butane density = 590 kg /m³
Propane densiy = 510 kg /m³

6- FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS :
According to the Geotechnical Report, the allowable net bearing pressure at foundation level,
should not exceed 2 kg /cm².
7- VESSEL DIMENSIONS :
8- ACTIONS :
Dead Loads :
- Dead load of cylindrical part = 1925 Kg / lm
- Dead load of dish end :
Radius = 3.83 / 2 = 1.915 m
Area = 2 x Π x 1.915² = 23.04 m²
Design thickness (15mm)
Weight = 2765 kg
Applied at (3.83+1.915/3) = 4.47 m from 1st support
- Supporting frame weight = 1135 kg
Live Loads :
- Equipements : = 200 kg /ml
- Stored product (Butane) :
Density = 590 kg /m³
Cylindrical part :
o Internal radius = 1.895 m
o Section = Π x 1.895² = 11.28 m² / lm
o Weight of stored product = 11.28 x 0.85 x 590 = 5658 kg / lm
the % of 0.85 is the max allowable vessel filling
Dish end :
o Internal radius = 1.895 m
o Volume = Π x 1.895³x 2/3 = 14.25 m³
o Weight of stored product = 14.25 x 0.85 x 590 = 7146 Kg
the % of 0.85 is the max allowable filling
o The load is applied at 4.47 m from support
Wind Load :
- Velocity = 120 km /h
- Pressure = 72 kg / m²
- Pressure per lm = 276 kg / lm
- Pressure on intermediate support = 276 x 7.5 = 2070 kg
- Pressure on end supports = 276 x (3.75 + 5.745) = 2621 kg
- Load application at 3.015 m

10.1- Weights :
Base :
- width, bf = 2 m
- Length, Lf = 4m
- Height, Hf = 0.6 m
- Weight Go = 4 x (2500x2x0.6) = 12000 Kg
Wall :
- Width, bw = 0.6 m
- Length, Lw = 4 m
- Height, Hw = 2.24 m
- Weight Gw = 4 x (2500x2.24x0.6) = 13440 Kg
Backfilling : /
- Width, bb = 1.4 m
- Length, Lb = 4 m
- Height, Hb = 2.24 m
- Weight Gb = 4 x 1.4 x 2.24 x 1750 = 21952 Kg
Total weight of footing = 47392 Kg
Wall dimensions :
Height, lo = 224 cm
Length, Lo = 400 cm
Thickness, b = 60 cm
Slenderness, for 1 m length :
.lc / a = 100 /60 = 3.73 < 14.4
Slenderness neglected
