I have a vertical tank 64" dia x 80" tall 1,000-gallons, the total tank weight with tank, water and fittings is 8800 lbs. I need to know how many pounds per square foot are exerted on the bottom of the tank. It is going in a parking garage and we need to know for structural purposes.
Thanks.

Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

The tank diameter of 64" is 64/12 = 5.33 ft
The area of a circle is (pi/4)*d*d = 3.1416 x 5.33 * 5.33 = 89.4 sq ft.
8800 lb / 89.4 sq ft = 98.5 lb/sq ft.

Oops, I screwed up. Forgot to divide by 4.
The area is 22.35 sq ft, and loading is 393.7 lb/sq ft.
