ABSTRACT:
An improved bin is adapted to receive and store materials having fluid properties, such as liquids and granular materials. The bin is made of a fiberglass reinforced plastic material, and has a circular bottom arranged to rest on a foundation, and a cylindrical side wall bonded to a marginal portion of the bottom and extending upwardly therefrom. A cable has its lower end suitably anchored proximate the bottom, has its intermediate length helically wound around the outside of the side wall, and has its upper end suitably anchored proximate the top of the side wall. The improved bin also includes a plurality of vertical members, also formed of a fiberglass reinforced plastic material, spaced circumferentially around the inner surface of the side wall. Each vertical member defines with the side wall a sealed tubular cavity extending upwardly from the bottom. A bearing member, such as concrete, is arranged within each tubular cavity and engages the bottom to receive and support a vertical load transferred from the side wall.
