I know this is an Aboveground Storage Tank forum, but I thought I'd ask. I was wondering how I go about designing a partially buried welded steel tank. I can't find any reference in API 650 regarding this. I can perform a finite element analysis to determine the stresses, but what allowable do I use? Anyone know of any references? I've designed 100's of Aboveground Storage Tanks, but partially buried is a first for me. Thanks in advance.
