Project descriptionThe designed tank is used for the storage of 20,000 m³ of water-polluting substances and was classified as a "LAU" facility according to VAwS. The retention in the sense of a secondary barrier was designed and constructed as an uncoated impermeable surface in accordance with DAfStb guideline BUmwS as a circumferential combined reinforced concrete containment space.
Optimisation with SFRC
- Reduction of the slab thickness by optimising the position of the neutral axis in the cross-section towards the tensioned side (increase of the bending pressure zone) -> Economic aspect
- Significant reduction of the crack width-limiting reinforcement by more than half -> Optimal constructability/economic aspect
- Greater potential on the resistance side regarding tightness -> Durability is crucial
