C) Dead volume = All tanks foundation volume + Liquid volume of tanks (other than the
largest tank) upto the Ht. of the enclosure + Dead volume of Fire wall
Let ,
D1 : Fdn Dia of 300 tank = 37.5 M; D2 : Fdn Dia of 250 tank = 26.5 M; D3 : Fdn Dia of 210 tank = 22.5 M
n1 : Number of 300 tank fdns = 2 nos; n2 : Number of 250 tank fdns = 4 nos; n3 : Number of 210 tank
fdns = 6 nos;
Volume of all tank foundations = π/4 D12 X h X n1 + π/4 D22 X h X n2 + π/4 D32 X h X n3
= 6120.68 M3 …………………………………………………..(1)
2) Liquid volume of tanks (other than the Largest Tank) above Fdn upto Dyke Ht:
Liquid volume of tank above Fdn upto Dyke Ht. = π/4 d2 X (H-h) X n= π/4 d2 X (0.3) X n
n : Number of tank
Total Volume of all tanks (other than the Largest Tank) above Fdn upto Dyke Ht:
= 1517.86 M3 …………………………………………………..(2)
3) Dead Volume of Fire wall = 0.2 X 0.6 X (56 + 199+ 77.5 + 77.5 + 77.5 + 77.5 + 77.5) = 77.1 M3
= 7738.54 M3
= 25042.54 M3
A = 25899 M3
