The present invention relates to a stack, particularly an atmospheric cooling tower. The stack comprises a shell with double curvature and a bearing structure or seating for the shell; the shell is dissociated from the seating and presents in its lower part a rigid peripheral ring via which it rests on this seating. The invention is more particularly applicable to the production of atmospheric cooling towers.

1. An atmospheric cooling stack comprising: a shell having double curvature, said shell being made of reinforced concrete, a seating separate from said shell said shell being spaced from said seating and said shell being supported by said seating; a rigid peripheral ring portion integral with said shell for resisting deformation of said shell due to external forces, said ring portion being located at a base of said shell and said ring portion taking up shearing stress in said shell, balancing horizontal thrusts in said shell and transmitting shearing forces to said seating, a lower face of said rigid peripheral ring portion being flat and extending beyond a periphery of said double curvature; and means interposed between said rigid peripheral ring and said seating for transmitting vertical and horizontal efforts of said shell to said seating and allowing thermal dilation of said shell. 2. The stack of claim 1, wherein said means is elastic. 3. The stack of claim 1, wherein the seating is constituted by essentially vertical piers. 4. The stack of claim 3, wherein the piers present a truncated radial shape extending about a vertical axis. 5. The stack of claim 1, wherein said seating is common to a plurality of vertical piers. 6. An atmospheric cooling tower comprising: a stack having double curvature and being open at opposite ends for passage of air therethrough; a rigid peripheral ring portion defined by one end of said stack for resisting deformation of said stack due to external forces by taking up shearing stress in said shell and balancing horizontal thrusts in said shell, a lower face of said rigid peripheral ring portion being flat; a foundation supported by the ground; seating means having a first end and second end, said seating means being separate from said stack, one end of said seating means supporting said stack and the second end of said seating means supporting by said foundation, said seating means includes a plurality of piers spaced around a periphery of said lower face of said rigid peripheral ring, a distance between each of said plurality of piers being determined to maximize admission of air into said first end of said stack to thereby reduce turbulence of air entering said first end of said stack; and support means interposed between said one end of said seating means and said lower face of said rigid peripheral ring portion for transferring vertical and horizontal efforts of said stack to said seating means and permitting thermal dilation of said stack. 7. An atmospheric cooling tower as in claim 6, wherein said plurality of piers are vertically oriented. 8. An atmospheric cooling tower as in claim 6, wherein the outer diameter of said rigid peripheral ring portion extends beyond the outer diameter of the double curvature of said stack. 9. An atmospheric cooling tower as in claim 7, wherein a height of said plurality of piers is substantially less than the height of said stack. 10. An atmospheric cooling tower as in claim 6, wherein said foundation is divided into sections which each support several piers. 11. An atmospheric cooling tower as in claim 6, wherein said foundation is divided into sections which each support individual piers. 12. An atmospheric cooling tower comprising: a stack having double curvature and being open at opposite ends for passage of air therethrough; a rigid peripheral ring portion defined by one end of said stack for resisting deformation of said stack due to external forces by taking up shearing stress in said shell and balancing horizontal thrusts in said shell, a lower face of said rigid peripheral ring portion being flat; a foundation supported by the ground; seating means having a first end and a second end, said seating means being separate from said stack, the first end of said seating means supporting said stack and the second end of said seating means supported by said foundation, said seating means includes a plurality of piers, a first circular spacer and a second circular spacer, one end of each of said plurality of piers being connected to said first circular spacer and the second end of each of said plurality of piers being connected to said second circular spacer, said second circular spacer being supported by said foundation, a distance between each of said plurality of piers being determined to maximize admission of air into said first end of said stack to thereby reduce turbulence of air entering said first end of said stack; and support means interposed between said first circular spacer and said lower face of said rigid peripheral ring portion for transferring vertical and horziontal efforts of said stack to said seating means and permitting thermal dilation of said stack. 13. An atmospheric cooling tower as in claim 12, wherein said second circular spacer is made fast with said foundation. 14. An atmospheric cooling tower as in claim 12, wherein said plurality of piers are vertically oriented. 15. An atmospheric cooling tower as in claim 12, wherein an outer diameter of said rigid peripheral ring portion extends beyond an outer diameter of the double curvature of said stack. 16. An atmospheric cooling tower as in claim 12, wherein the height of said plurality of piers is substantially less than a height of said stack. 17. An atmospheric cooling tower comprising: a stack having double curvature and being open at opposite ends for passage of air therethrough; a rigid peripheral ring portion defined by one end of said stack for resisting deformation of said stack due to external forces by taking up shearing stress in said shell and balancing horizontal thrusts in said shell, a lower face of said rigid peripheral ring portion being flat; seating means separate from said stack; a circular ring; a plurality of vertical piers having a first and second end, said vertical piers being connected at the first end to said rigid peripheral ring and connected at the second end to said circular ring, a distance between each of said plurality of piers being determined to maximize admission of air into said first end of said stack to thereby reduce turbulence of air entering said first end of said stack; and support means interposed between said circular ring and said seating means for transferring vertical and horizontal efforts of said stack to said seating means and to permit thermal dilation of said stack. 18. An atmospheric cooling tower as in claim 17, wherein said seating means comprises a foundation for said stack. 19. An atmospheric cooling tower as in claim 17, wherein said plurality of piers are vertically oriented. 20. An atmospheric cooling tower as in claim 17, wherein the outer diameter of said rigid peripheral ring portion extends beyond the outer diameter of the double curvature of said stack.
