single slope bottom tanks 1

[liushuo]

I have questions on single slope bottom tanks, could anybody helps me which foundation style is the optimal for shovel bottom tanks with capacity of 10000 cubic meter?

For shovel bottom tanks (single slope from one side to the other) concrete ringwall and concrete slab type are quite common, I have also seen stone ringwall foundations. I'd say almost any style of foundation that could be a cone bottom can be a shovel bottom if the contractor is capable and experienced in such.

Great thanks! I've just seen conical bottom tank on site, could you tell me some places where I may see shovel bottom tanks on site?

What country / state / province / city are you close to?
Frankly, there is not much to see - they pretty much look like ordinary tanks. It is generally not visible because you can't see very far around the tank and the slope is no different from a normal tank.

Thanks a lot! I'm in Beijing, China. Most place in China I can play a visit to. Besides, America or Canada are also convenient for me as I have relatives and classmates there. I just want to see the connecting part for bottom-wall shell and the foundation style if possible.
