  • the internal pad adhered to the strip of cover strips is coated on its outer face adjacent to the strip of cover of a fiberglass fabric bonded to said outer face to enhance the strength of the block. Since the pad is glued against the bottom formed by the shoulders of the sandwich panels and the inter-seal gasket, the fiberglass fabric of the pad is bonded to the seal strip also in the central portion of the seal strip covering the seal.
  • An idea underlying the invention is to enhance the fatigue resistance of the secondary sealing membrane of a tank of the aforementioned type, in particular at the level of the sealing strips arranged straddling the edge zones of the prefabricated panels.

  • the choice of a fiber composite material limits the thermal stresses generated by the reinforcing ply.
  • such a tank may comprise one or more of the following characteristics.
  • Another desirable physical property for the reinforcing strip is the relatively low coefficient of thermal expansion, which can be achieved by the choice of fibers, for example glass fibers, carbon fibers, polyester fibers and the like.
  • Another desirable physical property for the reinforcing strip is the good stickiness, which can be obtained in particular by the choice of the resin, which may for example be chosen from the group consisting of polyamides, polyether terephthalate, polyesters, polyurethanes, epoxides and their mixtures.
