- Abstract
The problem of the support of a circular reinforced concrete tank elevated above ground level, becoming in this country such a common problem in design, is one that has been very variously treated by engineers. The bottom of the tank in this case carries a uniformly distributed load, modified by the weight of the wall round the outside, and is usually supported by a circular tower, with or without a central column, but the stresses in the slab forming the bottom of the tank are not easily computed by ordinary methods. It is specially with a view to the reasonable solution of this problem that the investigation described in this paper has been made.
