38 Buried Tank Force Analysis Buried Tank Buoyancy Forces

39 Key Buoyancy Control Factors Buried Tank Buoyancy Forces Depth of soil cover over tank More soil over tank top = more resisting force Expected position of groundwater outside of tank Shallower groundwater = greater buoyant force

40 Buried Tank Force Analysis Buried Tank Buoyancy Forces Buoyancy is like a tug of war, except vertical Upward buoyant force vs. Downward resisting forces

68 Installation Best Practices

69 Installation Best Practices Excavation Size Adjust excavation width to accommodate anchors Anchors must be offset from side of tank Additional excavation width required Adjust to allow workers to operate Adhere to OSHA excavation safety requirements

70 Installation Best Practices Strap Placement Balance straps along tank axis Balanced loading to tank Balance resisting force Uniform connection to buoyancy controls

71 Installation Best Practices Strap Placement Single Downward Anchor Force Upward Water Pressure Force

72 Installation Best Practices Strap Placement Multiple Downward Anchor Forces Upward Water Pressure Force

73 Balanced anchor placement

74

75 Installation Best Practices Strap Tightening Establish tight strapping Prevents tank uplift Prevents change to inlet-to-outlet invert drop Prevents breakage of inlet and outlet piping Tighten using ratchet or turnbuckle

76 Tight straps

77 Mechanical tightening

78

79 Installation Best Practices Strap Capacity Verify strap capacity Determine tank uplift Determine tension in straps Verify that adequate strap safety factor exists Safety Factor = Resisting Force Driving Force 10,000 lb capacity = 5,000 lb uplift = 2.0

80

81 Installation Best Practices Anchor Placement Place anchors per manufacturer s instructions Some anchor designs require several feet of soil coverage to function properly Weight of soil cover over anchor resists uplift Weight of anchor is small compared to soil resistance

82 Buried Tank Buoyancy Forces Installation Best Practices Anchor Placement Installation B Soil columns above control provide downward force

83 Offset anchor placement Correct anchor placement: offset from tank

84 Correct anchor placement: offset from tank Improper anchor placement: tucked under tank, so no soil column above anchor

85 Installation Best Practices Backfilling Backfill between anchors and tank Place backfill around entire tank Work soil into space between tank and anchors Compact soil per manufacturer s instructions

86 Correct anchor placement: offset from tank Improper anchor placement: tucked under tank no space for backfill placement

87 How Buried to Use this Tank Information Buoyancy Forces Consider buoyancy for any type of tank material Check the two biggest factors: Soil cover depth over tank Height of water above tank bottom Follow manufacturer installation instructions Make sure buoyant force loses the tug-of-war 1.5 x LARGER THAN UPLIFT
