Deformation of vertical steel water tanks
Thread Content
In a vertical steel elliptical-headed tank that is placed flat on a foundation and secured to it with foot bolts, why does bulging or concaving occur? When is it necessary to add reinforcement bars inside?
Stiffness ~ Insufficient ability to resist deformation; increase wall thickness or add reinforcement ribs
I want to know at what capacity it is necessary to add reinforcement bars to the bottom plate
