Reinforced Concrete Tanks
Reinforced Concrete Tanks
(OP)
Does anyone know of any specific codes or reference materials for the design and analysis of circular reinforced concrete tanks? (No prestressing or post tensioning...only rebar)
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: Reinforced Concrete Tanks
Are concrete storage tanks containing liquid required to have a liner, or is it possible to construct them without one? Are there any codes out there that address the specific issue of the requirement for a liner?
Thanks!
RE: Reinforced Concrete Tanks
As far as specific designs, PCA has a good publication titled "Circular Concrete Tanks Without Prestressing" which gives excellent examples and tables on the design of Circular Tanks. Unfortunately, their publication on rectangular tanks is not so good. The best publication for design of rectangular tanks is the out-of-print "Moments and Reactions for Rectangular Plates" by the United States Bureau of Reclamation.
As far as lining, unless the liquid contains some aggressive chemicals no lining is necessary.
RE: Reinforced Concrete Tanks
Can you please provide me with that.

RE: Reinforced Concrete Tanks
I found a methodology to calculate the moments in the walls,(PCA Rectangular concrete tanks). But the examples are only with cells that have the same size.
Can I use this procedure in tanks with different cells??
