Cylindrical tank with domed roof

Given tank dimensions, determine volume and surface area, and amount of material required (for ordering concrete). Given density of tank material, determine load on ground under tank, and stress on reinforcement. The table below is set up for ferrocement (See the Water Storage book for description of the construction), steel, and plastic tanks. If you would prefer to specify your own materials and construction specs, use the "Tank Calculator (generic)" worksheet. Fill in numbers in blue under the in one or more columns. Read calculated values below.
