Hi,

I am looking for a design aide which outlines stepwise procedure for designing elevated slab platform to support circular liquid tanks of heights 60ft and diameter 38 ft.

Thanks,

RE: Design Aide

Let's see, a design aide to design an elevated slab for a 4,000,000 lb load, give or take. Maybe in my "Are You Kidding?" drawer.
Go get a structural engineer.

It's designed all the time. The weight is also close.


RE: Design Aide

The design aid you seek is years of experience designing structures. You can't design an elevated slab without knowing the supports. Each support system brings a different set of moments and forces, these are best solved by people who know what they are doing.

RE: Design Aide

Yes - the design aid you seek is a human being with engineering knowledge who can be a mentor to you.
