It can be seen from the above that the connection between the tank wall and the tank top mainly depends on the calculation model adopted in the design. Generally, the integral connection method is adopted. When diagonal steel bars are set and the upper end of the tank wall is supported by fixed hinges or elastic fixed supports, the following methods are adopted:
(1) There is a construction joint between the tank wall and the tank top, and only shear reinforcement is provided for connection;
(2) The tank wall and the tank top are provided with steel bar axils, and the steel bars on the tank top are mutually anchored. There are two ways to connect the wall and roof of reinforced concrete storage tank:
1, when the upper end of the tank wall is regarded as the free end, the top plate can be connected with the tank wall without any connection measures;
