Specifications include, but are not limited to: The project is located in Elk Mountain, Kentucky along Elk Mountain Road/Clay-Leslie Park Road. Project consists of a new 12,300 square feet oval shaped reinforced concrete shell intended to support a pre-engineered fabricated hoop structure and to be used as salt storage. The epoxy coated reinforced concrete walls are designed to resist the tension induced from the light framed roof and the salt via the steel reinforcement around the radius and the concrete buttresses along the sides. The concrete buttresses are built with an angled concrete wall supported by large foundations which prevent sliding. One thing of note is that this structure does not have a typical footing to support the continuous concrete walls. The walls are placed directly on the asphalt pavement creating an empirically designed intersection that prevents salt seepage that is cost effective. There is no frost depth necessary due to the presence of salts which would prevent ice formation and the reduced concern of heaving due to the nature of the building. User Agency will provide site grading, asphalt subbase, and pre-engineered hoop structure (NIC).
