Hello,
Can somebody help me in finding a link on "Design and Construction of Ground Reservoirs (Concrete)"? E-books, research papers, guidelines etc. are also useful.

RE: Ground Reservoirs
It depends on your definition of a reservoir. I have had experence of several earth excavated & concrete lined reservoirs (up to 200 m sq & 15 m deep). The design of these reservoirs is completely different to a circular or rectangular tank.
What is your volume, depth, side slope, nature of liquid to be contained, soil type, material preferences (steel or concrete), etc?
Also, what country? Your design may have to be verified & designing to a USA code (eg - ACI 350 or 318, not the PCA publication) may not be acceptable for verification in another country.
