Code Requirements for Design and Construction of Concrete Structures for the Containment of Refrigerated Liquefied Gases and Commentary
Also Known As:
ACI 376M-11 is a code that outlines the minimum requirements for the design and construction of concrete structures used for storing and containing refrigerated liquefied gases (RLG). This code specifically applies to RLGs with service temperatures between +40 and -325°F. The code covers various aspects such as the design of the container wall, foundation, roof, and bund wall (if applicable).
The standard emphasizes the use of reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete in the construction of these structures. It also highlights the importance of considering the specific requirements for the concrete foundations of double-steel tanks, subject to the approval of the owner.
It is worth noting that the code is available in both hard copy and electronic format, making it accessible to professionals in the field of construction and design.
