Abstract
Requirements stated in regulatory documents are discussed with respect to determining deformations in beds of vertical steel cylindrical tanks used to store oil and oil products. A procedure is proposed for determining tilt in the foundation and the tank proper, based on the aggregate settlement of deformation markings on the foundation and points along the bottom edge. A computer program was developed to calculate tilt. An example is presented of determining settlement and tilt for a pile foundation of a vertical steel tank after 5 years of operation.
