ABSTRACT:
This application relates to a tank for the storage of liquids, and more specifically to a tank adapted to withstand earthquake conditions and to methods for constructing same. More specifically, this application relates to a cylindrical tank having a side wall which is banded by one or a plurality of reinforcing means at the location at which the tank wall would be subject to maximum combined stresses resulting from gravitational, horizontal and vertical accelerations under an earthquake load. The application also relates to a tank having a side wall which is tapered from a maximum thickness at its base to a minimum thickness at its top and which is surrounded by one or a plurality of reinforcing means to counteract bulging and/or failure under earthquake loads.
