All,

I'm familiar with the use of free base connections at the base of walls in prestressed circular tanks. Is anyone using these in conventionally reinforced circular tanks? If so, can you recommend good details for hinged or free connections? I'm particularly wondering about waterstop details and shear transfer for hinged connections.

Thanks.
