Publisher's Synopsis
Now updated to include new developments in the field as well as code changes, this book details the structural design of reinforced and pre-stressed concrete for retaining or excluding aqueous liquids. It deals with structures such as water tanks, water towers, small reservoirs, sewage settling tanks, and swimming pools, and covers both US and UK standards. Worked examples are used to illustrate the design process for specific structures, and complete designs of four liquid retaining structures are included.
