19. Commercial Tank Foundation Tunnels
PNEG-318 Concrete Foundation Recommendations for GSI Grain Bins 155
6' Wide Tunnels
85' Maximum Sidewall Height (32 Rings 2.66" Corrugation) 3000 PSI
Concrete at 28 Days ASTM A615 Grade 60 Deformed Reinforcement Bar
1. Lap all bars 35 bar diameters and stagger all laps in plan 3'-0".
2. Material estimates are approximations only. Estimates do not include allowances for reinforcement
bar overlaps, concrete shrinkage or material waste.
3. Reference drawing 6' WIDE TUNNEL DETAILS (Pages 156-158) for construction details and
drawing FND-0001 for rebar/beam details.
4. Concrete should have a minimum compressive strength of 3000 PSI at 28 days.
5. Based on a soil bearing capacity of 4500 PSF.
* When a tunnel is added to the inverted “T” foundation, increased stemwall height is required in
all cases. The footer must be kept below the frost line to minimize movement.
