Abstract
A computer method based on the classical shell and plate
theories is presented for the elastic analysis of cylindrical
water tanks subjected to axisymmetrical loading and
post-tensioning loads. Spherical dome or circular plate roof,
cylindrical container, top and bottom ring beams together
with circular plate foundation are considered as possible
components of a water tank in the flexibility formulation.
Classical shell, plate, and ring beam theories are used to
obtain flexibility coefficients. A computer program is
developed based on this formulation and successfully used in
the design of prestressed concrete water tanks with diameters
of eighty-meter built in Saudi Arabia.
