Steel Water Storage Tanks: Design, Construction, Maintenance, and Repair
by: Steve Meier, American Water Works Association
Abstract: The first comprehensive steel tanks book published in more than a decade. Developed by members of the American Water Works Association (AWWA) General Steel Tank Committee, Steel Water Storage Tanks: Design, Construction, Maintenance, and Repair is the most authoritative source of industry information available. This in-depth reference describes the use of steel tanks for potable water storage and includes details on tank sizes, capabilities, styles, construction, appurtenances, site selection, design, operation, maintenance, rehabilitation, inspection, and security. Complete coverage of: Tank history, typical configurations, locating, sizing, and selecting; Selecting and specifying appurtenances; Controlling corrosion; Contractual considerations; Foundations; Construction of welded-steel water-storage tanks; Construction of bolted-steel water-storage tanks; Operation; Inspecting new-tank construction; Maintenance, inspection, and repair; Potable water security.
