This was super helpful. The AWWA D100 code laid the forces/accelerations out similar to API with the exception that convective forces need not be applied for elevated pedestal type water tanks and to treat the tank + contents as a singular rigid mass upon the appropriate period checks. Also...
I am designing post-installed adhesive anchorage into a concrete slab-on-grade for an elevated tank, supported on 4 legs and grout pads. I have calculated all the forces per the proper guidelines in API-650, API-620, and ASCE 7-10. However, I am a little stumped when it comes to the LRFD load...
