One-sided embedded glass performance water tank
Thread Content
A 6000*2000*2600 open-top tank is to be installed in the center of a 40-foot high-container. One of its viewing sides will have an 4500*2200 acrylic glass panel installed there for underwater performances, such as the mermaid shows and underwater ballets that can be seen in aquariums. For reference regarding the appearance, please see the image below; it shows the effect I aim to achieve. The container shell is used to facilitate transportation and lifting. Of course, no water is present during transportation, and water will be added after installation on site. Given the limited load capacity of the location, it is desired that the tank itself be as lightweight as possible. Could that expert help design the structure? Paid services
Rectangular water tanks can be designed in accordance with NB/T47001-2009, using E-type reinforcement ribs. I’m not sure how to address the stress on the glass; it may be necessary to discuss this with the glass manufacturer. 2600 is not too high a height, and the water pressure is not very high either; the equipment just needs some reinforcement.

I’ll manufacture the container locally, and it’s meant for use in performances. There shouldn’t be any struts inside the container – only additions at the top opening. Is this still feasible?
I can deal with the glass issues by contacting the manufacturer; it’s mainly the steel structure part that’s a problem
