These cylinders are protected by a reinforced concrete sarcophagus 23.60 metres long, 13.60 metres wide and with a visible height of 6 metres. The volume of concrete used is about 500 m 3 . One of the major constraints of the project was the limitation of the deflection of the cylinders, in accordance with the manufacturer’s calculation design. The setting up of these cylinders was challenging as it required the use of rolling portals temporarily installed on rails. SCIA Engineer was used to model the full FE model in plates and shells. The soil was defined using a boring hole. Then we used the Soil-in module to take into account the interaction between the soil and structure. With the non-linear calculation, we could determine the long-term deformation of the floor slab. On the other hand, we were able to observe the zones exposed to cracks which were reinforced consequently.
