Special considerations on the design of liquid storage tanks should be taken into account for seismic and wind loads. But Korean industrial standard KS B 6225 does not specify detailed guidelines for a design. It is therefore necessary to improve design guidelines for a seismic and wind-proof design in KS B 6225. The purpose of this study is provide a basis for the development of improved seismic and wind-proof design procedures, especially about seismic and wind loads.

Recommended seismic design guide for the flat bottom vortical-cylindrical oil storage tanks in KS B 6225 is presented. Under earthquake excitations, the hydrodynamic pressure exerted on the tank walls produces overturning moment which may cause either a failure of the anchors or a buckling of the tank shell near its base. The basis for establishing design loads due to hydrodynamic pressure is described including seismic zone risk map in Korea, zone coefficients and the essential facilities factor. This procedure for calculating applied compressive stress on the shell base subjecting to seismic load and for estimating the allowable buckling stress is described.
