Concrete Water Tank Design

[strguy11]

Anyone got any good references or design examples for the design of concrete water storage tanks? I have ACI 350 but was looking for some other documentation perhaps with some design examples.

This is a pretty common request on this board. You need to start with PCA's "Circular Concrete Tanks Without Prestressing" or from the Bureau of Reclamation, "Design of Rectangular Plates."
ACI 350 is written as a code document and won't be much help in nuts and bolts design.
