Described in the paper are tank foundation and base specification stipulated in the Collection of Codes for Fire Protection (issued in Japan) as well as the gist,revision background, the requirements for foundation stability and the condition on which the natural foundation is unnecessary to be improved and the standards which .

With the practical engineering examples, the scheme to treat the tank foundation on coastland was discussed in this article, and then, a optimum scheme was presented.

In large oil tank construction in soft soil area, how to avoid tank foundation accident is always the difficult problem.

Structural behavior of tapered steel tanks under harmonic settlement;

The influence of different welding thermal cycle on structure and property in heat affected zone(HAZ) of 08MnNiVR oil tank steel in Angang are investigated by welding thermal simulation,instrumented impact toughness and optical metallographic test.
