DESIGN OF REINFORCED CONCRETE TANKS T.1 - ANNA HALICKA, DOMINIKA FRANCZAK

Discover a comprehensive guide to designing reinforced concrete tanks, taking into account the latest European standards. This first volume of a two-volume series is an invaluable source of knowledge for construction students and structural designers, offering both theory and practical examples.

• Theory and practice of designing reinforced concrete tanks according to Eurocodes
• Consideration of the latest European standards
• Detailed discussion of calculating the pressure of bulk materials on silo walls
• Examples of calculations of internal forces using traditional methods and FEM
• Principles of dimensioning, construction and reinforcement of slender, medium-slender, low and retention silos
• Discussion of issues of durability and methods for repairing silos
• Intended for construction students and structural designers

Reinforced concrete tanks are specific engineering structures, the design of which requires taking into account the storage technology of bulk materials and the production technology in the case of liquid tanks. In the first volume, the authors characterize in detail tanks for bulk materials and describe the European standards regulating the determination of loads and the design of such tanks (Eurocode 2-3 for the design of reinforced concrete tanks and Eurocode 1-4 for loads acting on tanks and silos). They present the principles for calculating the pressure of bulk materials on silo walls according to EC1-4, methods for calculating internal forces in silos, emphasizing loads and their impact on internal forces.

The book discusses the principles of dimensioning, construction and reinforcement of slender, medium-slender, low and retention silos. The authors also address issues of durability and methods for repairing silos. In the second part of the first volume, the presented content is illustrated with examples. The calculations of internal forces are performed using both traditional methods and FEM, comparing the obtained results. Traditional methods were presented for didactic reasons, realizing that the future belongs to FEM.
