Description
Reinforced Concrete Tank
Introduction
This invention relates to a reinforced concrete tank.
The invention relates in particular to reinforced concrete tanks and a method for
manufacturing such tanks which may be used, for example, as slurry tanks, liquid
resen/oir tanks, swimming pools and the like.
Statements of Invention
According to the invention, there is provided a method for manufacturing a reinforced
concrete liquid retaining tank, including:
forming a reinforced concrete base with upstanding tie bars on the base
defining a periphery of the tank,
prefabricating a plurality of reinforced concrete side wall panels, each side wall
panel having an inner wall and an outer wall spaced-apart from the inner wall
and substantially parallel thereto, said inner wall and outer wall being
interconnected by a metal reinforcing frame, one side of the reinforcing frame
being embedded in the inner wall and the other side of the reinforcing frame
being embedded in the outer wall,
mounting a number of the reinforced concrete side wall panels upright on the
base end to end to form an endless side wall upstanding on the base,
engaging the upwardly extending tie bars on the base between the inner and
outer walls of the side wall panels and supporting each side wall panel in an
upright orientation,
filing the opening between the inner and outer walls of the side wall panels with
concrete, and
setting the concrete to form the tank having a solid reinforced concrete side
wall upstanding on the base.
The side wall panels may be supported in any suitable fashion on the base.
Conveniently, one or more stays may be mounted between each side wall panel and
the base and secured to each of the side wall panel and the base to support the side
wall panel upstanding on the base. If desired, such stays may be adjustable. This
may be facilitated, for example, by incorporating a bottle screw in the stay.
In another embodiment, the method includes the step of applying a sealing material
between adjacent side wall panels and/or between each side wall panel and the
base. Any suitable sealing material may be provided, for example, a bitumen paste
seal.
In another embodiment, the method includes the step of forming a channel in a top of
the base around a periphery of the tank for subsequent alignment with the opening
between the inner wall and outer wall of the side wall panels. Thus, when the
opening is backfilled with concrete, the side walls are keyed onto the base by the
concrete.
It is generally desirable to vibrate the concrete when it is backfilled into the opening
between the inner and outer side walls of the side wall panels for air exclusion.
if desired, the inner and outer walls of each side wall panel may be staggered at their
ends to facilitate improved interlocking of adjacent side wall panels.
Detailed Description of the Lnvenmg
The invention will be more clearly understood by the following description of some
embodiments thereof, given by way of example only, with reference to the
accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a reinforced concrete tank according to the
invention;
Fig. 2 is a detail, partially sectioned, perspective view showing portion of the
tank;
Fig. 3 is a detail sectional elevational view showing portion of the tank;
Fig. 4 is a detail sectional plan view showing a side wall portion of the tank;
Fig. 5 is a detail sectional plan view showing portion of a side wall of the tank at
a corner of the tank;
Fig. 6 is a detail sectional elevational view showing a reinforced concrete side
wall panel used in the construction of the tank;
Fig. 7 is a view similar to Fig. 6 showing the side wall portion supporting a cattle
slat;
Fig.8 is a sectional plan view of a side wall panel;
Fig. 9 is a sectional elevational view of an inner portion of the side wall panel;
Fig. 10 is a sectional elevational view of an outer portion of the side wall panel;
and
Fig. 11 is a sectional end elevational view of the side wall panel.
Referring to the drawings, there is illustrated a reinforced concrete tank according to
the invention, indicated generally by the reference numeral 1. The tank essentially
comprises a reinforced concrete base 2 with an upstanding endless reinforced
concrete side wall 3 which together form a tank for the retention of liquids, such as a
slurry tank, for example. The side wall 3 is formed by a number of juxtaposed
reinforced concrete side wall panels 4 of twin wall construction which, when mounted
together on the base, have concrete backfilled between the twin walls.
Each side wall panel 4 has an inner wall 6 and an outer wall 7 spaced-apart from the
inner wall and substantially parallel thereto. The inner wall 6 and outer wall 7 are
interconnected by a steel reinforcing frame 8. An inner side 9 of the reinforcing frame
8 is embedded in the inner wall 6 and an outer side 10 of the reinforcing frame 8 is
embedded in the outer wall 7. The reinforcing frame 8 essentially comprises a
reinforcing mesh 9 in the inner wall 6 and another reinforcing mesh 10 in the outer
wall 7 interconnected by intermediate reinforcing members 11, as indicated in the
drawings.
in constructing the tank 1, the reinforced concrete base 2 is formed. Reinforcing
elements 15 for the base 2 can be seen in Fig. 3. As can be seen in Figs. 2 and 3,
the base 2 is formed with upstanding tie bars 16 defining a periphery of the tank 1. A
channel 17 is preferably formed in the top of the base 2 around a periphery of the
tank 1for subsequent alignment with an opening 20 between the inner wall 6 and
outer wall 7 of the side wall panels 4. Each side wall panel 4 is transported to the site
and is then lifted into place on the base 2 aligning the channel 17 with the opening 20
between the inner wall 6 and outer wall 7 and inserting the tie bars 16 into the
opening 20.
Tie bars 25 are used to support the side wall panels 4 on the base 2. Each tie bar 25
has a mounting plate 26, 27 at each end for attachment to the side wall panel 4 and
base 2 respectively. The tie bar 25 may include a bottle screw 28 for length
adjustment and assisting in correctly positioning the side wall panel 4 on the base 2.
It will be noted from Figs. 4 and 8 that reinforcing bars 28 project outwardly of each
inner wall 6 and are cranked so they can be inserted in the opening 20 formed
between the inner wall 6 and outer wall 7 of the next adjacent side wall panel 4.
Additional reinforcing elements/ties 29 may also be mounted in the opening 20 at the
join between two side wall panels 4. as shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5. in Fig. 5, the
corner construction is shown in which the inner wall 6 is stepped inwardly at the end
from the outer wall 7 to facilitate formation of the corner 30.
The opening 20 between the inner walls 6 and outer walls 7 of the side wall panels 4
are filled with concrete which is then set to form the tank having a solid reinforced
concrete side wall upstanding on the base 2.
Sealing material may be applied between adjacent side wall panels 4 and/or between
each side wall panel 4 and the base 2.
After the concrete has set in the opening 20, the tie bars 25 can be removed and any
finishing required can be carried out on the tank 1.
Fig. 7 shows the mounting of cattle slats 40 on top of the side walls 4 when the tank 1
is used as a slurry tank.
The invention is not limited to the embodiments hereinbeiore described which may be
varied in both construction and detail.
