B.3 Determination of Acceptable Settlement<br />

B.3.1 General<br />

Greater settlement may be acceptable in tanks with a successful service<br />

history than new construction standards allow. Each condition must be<br />

evaluated, based on service conditions, construction materials, soil<br />

characteristics, foundation design and prior service history.<br />

B.3.2 Shell Settlement<br />

Determine the maximum out-of-plane deflection. The formula for calculating<br />

the maximum permissible deflection is shown on page B-4. Requires<br />

technical assistance.<br />

B.4 Repairs<br />

If conditions beyond acceptable conditions are found, a rigorous stress<br />

analysis should be performed to evaluate the deformed profile, or repairs<br />

conducted. Various repair techniques are acceptable. (See Section 9.10 for<br />

helpful details). Several new figures have been added to Appendix B,<br />

however the bases for the new figures and requirements have been<br />

challenged. There is no bases for the information in the figures.. The user is<br />

left to his own devices as how to use this information.<br />
