Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
