Where the end plate is made by welding of {wojor more plates, the weld Joint shall be made horizontal, Full width of plate(s) should be utilized at the bottom, 10 CORROSION PROTECTION Tanks to be installed underground shall be suitably protected against corrosion caused by the soil strata and/or sub-soil water. The purchaser shall specify type of such protection that the. considers desirable, Suggested. good practices for asphalt doping are given in Annex C. 11 TANK ANCHORAGE 11.1 Tank to be installed underground shall be anchored to resist the buoyancy force induced by high water tables that may oecur seasonally ‘The anchorage could be either provided by means of steel flat of round bars having ade- quate cross section to resist the uplift at a stress level of 140 MPa maximum, 11.2 The anchors should be embedded in RCC draft having necessary dead weight, bonding and shear strength to resist the uplift force. 12 APPURTENANCES AND MOUNTINGS 12.1 General 12.1.1 Appurtenances or mountings installed ‘on tanks shall conform to this code. Alternative designs of appurtenances which provide equiva- lent strength, tightness and utility are. permi sible, if s0 agreed to by the purchaser. 12.1.2 Manhole necks, nozzle necks, reinforcing plates and shell-plate openings which have either sheared or oxygen-cut surfaces, shall have such surface made uniform and smooth, with the corners rounded, ,except where such surfaces are fully covered by attachment welds.
