The textbook entitled Foundation Analysis and Design states that there is no binding rules for the number or depth of soil borings.
However, PIP VECTA001 recommends for large tanks a minimum of 3 borings. The PIP STE03020 defines a large tank as 50 ft. diameter or greater.
Please advise whether there are any other available guidance with respect to the number, depth and location of borings for the design and construction of storage tanks?
