Abstract
Global warming is a phenomenon that makes us increasingly aware of the importance of protecting nature. Lack of drinking water and waste disposal belong to today’s biggest problem. This is the main reason why we try to recycle, use more renewable energy sources and treat waste ecologically. Drinking water tanks, sludge tanks for wastewater treatment and also tanks for biogas production, so-called fermenters, are becoming gradually more important. For built-up areas, respecting space usability, it is more appropriate to design tanks with a rectangular floor plan (so-called rectangular tanks). We can also use a system of rectangular tanks and thus achieve the most efficient use of space that is intended for them. In this article will be determined whether the proposed rectangular tank, intended for biogas production, has bearing capacity for dynamic loads. Construction of the tank itself must respect the design of the structure, as well as the building material, in order to prevent damage to its structure caused by the filling (it may also contain substances that could contaminate the environment and groundwater). This will ensure the integrity and load-bearing capacity of the tank and there is no risk of leakage. Selected tank is loaded with a standard response spectrum to see how it deforms, using finite element analysis in program ANSYS.
