Code Requirements for Design and Construction of Concrete Structures for the Containment of Refrigerated Liquefied Gases and Commentary
Also Known As:
ACI 376-11 is a code that specifies the minimum requirements for the design and construction of reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete structures used for storing and containing refrigerated liquefied gases (RLG) with service temperatures ranging from +40 to -325°F. The code is specifically applicable to the concrete foundations of double-steel tanks, with the approval of the owner.
The code outlines the necessary design considerations for various components of the container, including the container wall, foundation (consisting of the footing and floor slab), the concrete portions of the roof, and the bund wall (if applicable). These design requirements ensure that the concrete structures are capable of safely storing and containing RLG.
ACI 376-11 is available in both hard copy and electronic format, providing accessibility to engineers and construction professionals involved in designing and constructing facilities for the storage of refrigerated liquefied gases.
