Calculation

Volume of tank pad for FO Storage Tank, V1 [=0.7854xD32xH3] 106.05 m3

Volume of tank pad for LDO Storage Tank, V2
88.58 m3
[=0.7854xD42xH4]
Total volume of two pads, V3 [=V1+V2] 194.63 m3
Total volume of dyke area upto pad height, V4 [=LxWxH3] 858 m3
Effective volume in the dyke area upto tank pad height, V5
663.37 m3
[=V4-V3]
Assuming that in worst case the bigger tank is leaking at the bottom most point, effective
volume of dyke required will be 1000m3.

>>> Further height of dyke wall is required, as effective volume is less than design volume.

Volume of FO considered for further calculation, V6 [=Q-V5] 336.63 m3

Area of FO Tank, A1 [=0.7854xD12] 78.54 m2
Area of LDO Tank, A2 [=0.7854xD22] 63.62 m2
Total effective area accomodating FO, AE [=A-A1-A2] 715.8 m2
Height of dyke wall required for 336.63 m3 volume, H5 0.47 m
Free board provided, FB 0.3 m

Total Height of dyke wall calculated, HD [=H3+H5+FB] 1.77 m

Height of dyke wall provided 1.80 m
