Tanks are building structures that are used mainly for capturing and treating water but also other liquids. Different materials and shapes are used for their construction, also the use of tanks can be different. The floor plan shapes of the tanks depend mainly on the purpose of use, on the technological process taking place in the tank, and the method of construction as well. The most common floor shapes of tanks are rectangular, polygonal, circular, or other.
Tanks with a circular floor plan are advantageous from both the static, but also an economic point of view. The construction of the bottom depends on the properties of the subsoil, groundwater, exploitation and dimensions of the tank, and due to the stored liquid. The thickness of the bottom depends on the compressibility of the soil.
In this paper, the wall of a concrete cylindrical tank is assessed for different types of support, for different load cases using the RFEM computer program. Gradually, the volume of water in the tank, and the depth of immersion of the tank into the foundation soil will change. Extremes will be considered, full tank not buried - empty tank completely buried, but also other load combinations. In the case of foundation soil, a one-parameter subsoil model is considered, for which it is necessary to calculate the compressibility coefficient of the subsoil.
Finally, a comparison and selection of the design of the tank foundation, which is the most advantageous for the given construction, is given.
