S ome of the many conditions that require special engineeringconsideration are as follows: > site on hillsides undisturbed/ land filled > sites at swampy or filled ground > sites underlain by soils, such as organic clays that will settle over long period and can cause lateral ground stability problem > site adjacent to water courses or deep excavation > site exposed to flood water > site in regions of high seismicity

When there is some doubt whether afoundation will be able to carry the load directly, a concreteringwall foundation should be used. Advantages of concrete ring w all are:> It provides better distribution of the concentrated load of the shell to produce a more uniform soil loading under the tank > It provides a level, solid starting plane for concentration of the shell > It is capable of preserving its contour during construction> It retains the fill under the tank bottom and prevents loss of material as a result of erosion> It minimizes moisture under the tank
