tank footings
Posted by Jessica on October 23, 2006
Dear Sir, I need some product information for a proposed tank footing 14″ high by 24″ in diameter with a 18.5 kip load. This footing would be grounded on existing reinforced concrete slab, but is to help cleaning functionality. Any suggestions on products out there for this type of situation?
I suggest you contact the tank manufacturer for his recommendation. Also, a structural engineer may be needed. There are too many unknowns to suggest a solution. For example, is this a caustic solution? What is the temperature of the solution in the tanks and is corrosion resistance an issue. I don’t think I can be of much help in this situation.
