Abstract
To resist the groundwater uplift pressure, the bottom slab of an LNG inground storage tank is a thick reinforced concrete slab with a depth of 7 to
10 m. This paper describes the effect of size on the shear strength of
circular slabs. To verify the effect of size on the shear strength of a thick
reinforced concrete slab, experimental studies are conducted on large
reinforced concrete circular slabs subjected to distributed loads. The
shear strength of a reinforced concrete circular slab without shear
reinforcement gradually decreases as the effective depth "d" of the slab
increases. From the results of experiments on large slabs, the size effect
on the shear strength of a circular slab is inversely proportional to the
fourth root of the effective depth. Bottom slabs with depths of 7.4 m and
9.8 m were subjected to full and 85% design pressure. The result showed
the validity of the design method.
