Abstract
A reservoir consisting of a system of contiguous, prefabricated, plate-shaped concrete sections that are connected in a water-tight way, comprising that (1) the plate-shape concrete sections are flat or slightly bent and include a large angle when assembled, (2) the concrete sections are clamped in on side in a foundation running the full length of the reservoir circumference, (3) the sides of the concrete sections are connected exclusively by a pliable seal.
Claims7
A reservoir consisting of a plurality of contiguous, prefabricated, plate-shaped concrete sections connected together so as to be movable and water-tight, comprising:
- a plurality of vertically extending concrete sections, each having front, back, top, bottom and side wall portions;
- a foundation extending around the full length of the reservoir circumference;
- upwardly facing groove means provided within said foundation for receiving the bottom portion of said concrete sections together with an amount of mortar for securing the concrete sections therein;
- pliable side sealing means for connecting together adjacent side portions of said concrete sections;
- each of the side portions of said concrete sections being provided with rabbet means located in the front plain of said concrete sections for receiving said pliable side sealing means;
- each of said pliable side sealing means including a deformable spacer extending between the adjacent side wall portions of adjacent concrete sections and from the back to the front thereof, deformable sealing plate means positioned on the front side of said spacer for making the joint between adjacent concrete sections watertight, clamp means for clamping said deformable sealing plate means in a watertight relationship with respect to said concrete sections, said clamping means extending along the length of said deformable sealing plate means.
