Stress and Deformation of Partially Supported and Horizontally Placed Cylindrical Reservoir Subjected to Soil Pressure on its Upper Half Surface

Abstract

In this paper, analysis has been made on the stresses, stress resultants and stress couples in a cylindrical reservoir, which is placed horizontally with partial supports at equidistance and subjected to soil pressure on its upper half surface, by utilizing the fundamental defferential equation introduced by Dr. K. Mizoguchi. The optimum form of supports are also obtained. Furthermore, precautions for using FRP as the material for a horizontal reservoir are described.
