Beschreibung:
This book presents practical methods for the analysis and design of circular concrete tanks. The methods can also be used for silos, pipes, or any circular shells subjected to arbitrary axially symmetrical loading, and also deal with the more general problem of beam on elastic foundation. The book includes a new chapter on the design of construction of circular tanks, comes with new easy-to-use computer programs, and provides design examples that include post-tensioned concrete walls, footings, floors and roofs, and liquid-tight connections between these components.
Part I Analysis. Introduction to the analysis of circular tanks. Circular walls of constant thickness. Circular walls of varying thickness. Design Tables and examples of their use. Finite-element analysis. Time-dependent effects. Thermal stresses. Optimum design of prestressing. Effects of cracking of concrete. Control of cracking in concrete tanks and silos. Part II Design tables. Tables for analysis of circular walls of thickness varying linearly from top to bottom.
