Analysis of ground supported open circular concrete tank by E Lightfoot and D. Michael
(courtesy of Construction weekly)
Example 2. The so that the outer required to find moments
acting modification analysed above has its base extended
43 ft shown in Fig.2a
it's required to find the ring tension acting in the wall and
the moment acting in the wall and base as a result of this
modification
At the bottom of the tank wall, the fixed-end moment and
the rotational stiffness are the ll8.Ille as before. The
effective upward pressure on the inner part of the base is
now due to the differential weight of the tank walls less
the weight Qf an annular ring of
water over the projecting toe, for the full depth of the tank.
