Disclaimer :
1. This Tool is based upon most correct and accurate design guidelines available to JGC-DESCON which
comply with International Industry practices.
2. This Tool is being provided for the general guidance and benefit of the Engineer.
3. Use of this tool in designing projects for JGC-DESCON, however, does not relieve the Engineer from his
responsibility to verify the accuracy of any information presented or from his contractual liability to provide safe and sound
designs that conform to Mandatory Engineering Requirements.
4. Use of this design Tool has no guarantee that the resulting product will satisfy the applicable requirements of any project.
5. Use of this Design Tool is intended solely for, and shall be strictly limited to, JGC-DESCON projects.
General Notes :
1. This Calculation program is made for the stability analysis and reinforcement design of Concrete Rectangular Ring
Wall Foundation Only.
2. Load cases and load combinations should be updated as per project requirements.
3. Do not delete or add any row or column in "CALCULATION" sheet.
4. Design of foundation is made using ACI 318-05.
5. All cells with Input Values are
6. Units of each input are described with each input cell.
Gudielines :
1. Loading Data :
Prerequisites for Design of Ring wall foundation are:
Mechanical General Arrangement Drawing.
Geotechnical Report
In mechanical general arrangement drawing foundation loading for storage tank is provided.

In some case we do not have foundation loading, only weight summary i.e. Empty, Operation and Test Loads are provided.
For both cases i.e. with Foundation Loading and with weight summary , this tool have the option .

Select any one option and Input the loading data.

2. Loading at Bottom of Foundation :
Following Loads are computed at bottom of foundation using the loading data :
Concrete ring self weight
Content Load
Test Load
Wind Load
Seismic Load

Please note that you can add values for other load case in the above table.
A breif word on content load, Percentage areas of tank area for soil and ring wall are computed.
With respect to these percentages content load is distributed on soil and ring wall.
DO
D
Di

% Contant Load transferred to Ring ( P1 )

% Contant Load transferred to Soil ( P2 )

3. Check Soil Pressure :

Three things should be checked regarding soil pressure.:
i.
Max soil pressure should not increase Allowable Soil Pressure
ii.
Pressure beneth Ring wall and Soil should be same to avoid diffrential settlements.
iii.
There should be no -ve soil pressure under the ring wall.
Please note that (ii) condition should be only checked for loading combinations with out wind and earthquake.
Ringwall Outine :
In no case the foundation dimensions should violate contion (i)
Adjust thickness of ringwall (b), such that contion (ii) is satisifed.
Adjust depth of foundation (df) to meet condition (iii), rather than changing (b).
If condition is not meet, try to use other foundation type.
