Aluminum dome design
Aluminum dome design
(OP)
Hi all.
As per subject, i dont have experience for aluminum dome roof design and the contractor propose to use it with construction cost and schedule benefits.
I knew the design is listed in appendix G.
What are considerations to use aluminum dome roof (advantage and dis. of it) since the tank will have design life up to 25 years.
Thank you.

Water?
Oil?
Toxic Sludge?
RE: Aluminum dome design
Aluminum dome structures have some advantages compared to other alternate materials due to: corrosion resistance; low maintenance costs, capable of large clear spans, and fast construction.
Aluminum is inherently corrosion resistant. It will not need to be painted for protection from the atmosphere.
There is little to no maintenance costs associated with an aluminum dome

In my last project 46 M diameter Fire Water Tank will have about 18 ton weight of this alumunium roof tank.
Vacono Dome from Reinfelden (German) is one of the designer and supplier.
RE: Aluminum dome design
thank you for your advice. the proposal of Aluminum dome is for Remin water and for Potable water.
another proposal is for COndensate tank which has internal floating roof inside.
another problem to be considered is about bolt retightening during operation since as we know the construction of this dome mostly by bolting.
Thankyou

I installed internal floating roof (alumunium) for Dome roof tank in one of my project in 1990.
Reinfelden has a product they call "Vacono deck". It is alumunium deck with floater. This is the one I used.
