15, if anyone could point me to one? But I have specific questions as well:ġ. I've yet to find a good design example for ASCE 7-10 Ch.
However, looking through ASCE 7-10's seismic requirements, it would seem section 15.7.6 would be the appropriate method to use in finding the seismic base shear for the tank. My firm has had a older 'rule of thumb' reference on tank seismic design from IBC 2000. I've been tasked with designing a foundation system for a 60' tall, 50,000 gallon ground-support tank used for liquid storage.
