QUAKEPROOF RESERVOIR Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC E04H7/16 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: quakeproof reservoir is arranged from glass plastic. It comprises a horizontal cylindrical body, which includes a shell, its undetachable bottoms, an access door, an instrumentation chamber manhole, nozzles for drain, fill, intake and overflow pipes and an air nozzle. The body is equipped with a system to suppress its oscillations. The system comprises circular, longitudinal and transverse dampers installed inside and outside the body. Side stepped and central dampers are formed with external circular ribs coupled with a shell. Longitudinal dampers are formed by external shaped stringers. Additional dampers are formed by location beds with yokes that tighten them and fix the body position. Transverse dampers are made in the form of baffle plates installed inside the shell in a discrete manner in a staggered order above and below the longitudinal axis of the shell. The body has a capsule-like coating from a resilient elastic material with a deformability extent of at least 300%, for instance, a polyurethane composition, fixed with a body material with a cohesion-adhesion joint. Such reservoir is suitable for ground installation or for installation into soil with a border.

EFFECT: invention makes it possible to increase earthquake stability, operational reliability and repairability of reservoir design.
