Rectangular Concrete Tanks - PCA

anybody have a copy of the design of rectangular and or circular tank concrete design by the Portland Cement Association (PCA) ...pls share....thanks noelda2

While cylindrical shapes may be structurally best for tank construction, rectangular tanks frequently are preferred for specific purposes. Special processes or operations may make circular tanks inconvenient to use. When several separate cells are required, rectangular tanks can be arranged in less space than circular tanks of the same capacity. Tanks or vats needed inside a building are therefore often made in rectangular or square shapes. For these and other reasons, breweries, tanneries, and paper mills generally use rectangular tanks.
Data presented here are for design of rectangular tanks where the walls are subject to hydrostatic pressure of zero at the top and maximum at the bottom. Some of the data can be used for design of counterforted retaining walls subject to earth pressure for which a hydrostatic type of loading may be substituted in the design calculations. Data also can be applied to design of circular reservoirs of large diameter where lateral stability depends on the action of counterforts built integrally with the wall.

This document showcases analysis and design for rectangular tanks containing fluids. Describes the analysis procedure and provides vastly expanded design tables of coefficients for moments, shears, and deflections due to uniform and triangular loads.

Presents analysis methods for rectangular tanks containing fluids. Describes the analysis procedure and gives tables of coefficients for moments, shears, and deflections due to uniform and triangular loads. Support conditions considered are free and hinged tops as well as hinged and fixed bases. Also covered is durability, minimum reinforcement, crack control, formwork considerations, and multi-cell tanks. Comprehensive design examples illustrate the use of the tables and design aids.
