[QUOTE="MickMoor, post: 3511912, member: 899"] Aren't there one or two unknowns here? Is the pessure in from the back fill,or out from the slurry? How do you calculate the outward pressure from slurry? It has no weight on the concrere floor which could act as a toe, so once the panels started pushing outwards, there would only be the soil outside to take the pressure, but that will presumably be back fill so can it take any pressure at all? OK so you don't intend driving tractors near it, but what effect will a 600kg cow have when you are chasing it and it decides to stop suddenly? What about the concrete floor which will in theory, be unsupported, so an overhang next to the edge of the channel. Have you included enough reinforcement? Of course sealing it is likely to be a problem, and how are you going to protect the supporting steel from corrosion? Any below ground level slurry store has to have a design life of 20 years [U]without[/U] maintenance. Sadly, regulations are brought in to protect us from the mistakes made by amateurs, but make it harder for professionals to conform and do their job efficiently and economically. [/QUOTE]
