Description
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.
Reviews / Votes
"The new edition of Circular Storage Tanks and Silos is an excellent reference book and is recommended for graduate students, practicing engineers and researchers. It would be a worthy addition to the libraries of universities and the bookshelves of practising engineers."-Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, 2016
