Abstract
A wall for a fluid container which includes a pair of vertically extending side beams between a pair of horizontally extending upper and lower beams. An arcuate panel is secured in the area defined by the vertically and horizontally extending beams. When the fluid container is filled iwth a fluidic material, fluid pressure applied to the arcuate inner surface deflects the panel downwardly in tension to force the upper beam downwardly to thereby compress the side beams between the upper and lower beams and thereby add significant static structural integrity to the wall.
