    摘要: A mounting for a spherical tank holding gases or liquids which is supported on a rigid concrete foundation in a region of the vertical axis of the tank, the mounting consisting essentially of a spaced array of support elements of cellular or sponge structure, such as neoprene or Buna N rubber with a matrix of stiff plastic filler which is elastic and non-hardening, such as a quick-setting epoxy resin or polyethylene sulfide filling material which contains a high proportion of filler. The upper surface of the array of cellular elements and matrix is coated with a bonding adhesive to adhere the mounting to the steel surface of the tank, preferred adhesives being a thermosetting polyethylene sulfide adhesive or a thermosetting epoxy resin. The lower surface of the array is coated with the same bonding adhesive to secure the array to the concrete foundation.
