RR 22.10.00-2.3 Modular Tank with Tapered Walls

A new template has been added to the Structure Wizard in STAAD.Pro Physical Modeler for modelling tanks with tapered walls.

Note: This feature requires Structural SELECT Entitlements, which are provided with an active SELECT or ELS subscription.

This tank model includes discrete wall and slab sections for use with concrete design in the RCDC application. This model can have tapered wall thickness. The lateral load due to the sloped walls are calculated as both vertical and horizontal components.

Limitations:
  • this tank can only have a single level
  • this tank cannot contain interior columns or beams

Refer to the STAAD.Pro Physical Modeler help for additional details on creating a tank model with tapered walls.
