More Information
Summary:The subject invention pertains to composite straight wall liquid storage tanks held in persistent compression to provide superior watertightness for the life of the tank, including ACI American Concrete Institute 350 code-compliant liquid-containing composite straight wall structures with an integral full-height galvanized steel shell diaphragm fully encased in continuous shotcrete. The provided tapered composite straight wall can incorporate epoxy-bonded diaphragm sheet joints at the floor, wall, L-shaped corner posts, and T-shaped bisecting wall junction plates to support watertight connections. The external envelope and, optionally, one or more internal or bisecting walls of the structure can be provided in persistent compression by compressive post-tensioning.
