DESIGN OF WATER TANK FOR 1 LAKH LITRE

Given:
Capacity =100000litr
height of the tank = 2m
free board = 200mm
H = 4+0.2 = 4.2m
volume of water = capacity
π/4 x D² x ht of water = 1, 00,000
π/4 x D² x 2 = 1,00,000/1000
D2 = 1,00,000 x 2 / x 1000
D =7.97
D~8m
Design of horizontal reinforcement for vertical wall
maximum hoop tension at bottom of wall = w H D /2
=(10 x 2 x 8)/2
=80 kN/m,
W = unit weight of water
area of hoop steel required at botto of wall = whd/2σs
=(80/100 )x10³
As h=800 mm2
using 12mm Ø at
AØ = π /4 x 102 =113.1 mm2
spacing = 1000 x a / Ash
= (1000 x 113.1 )/800
= 141.3mm
Provide tension at 1m from top wall
=(10 x 1 x 8)/2
=40 kN
 Ash = (40x1000) /100 =400 mm2
Using 12 mm Ø bar
AØ = 113.1 mm2
Spacing =(1000(113.1))/400
=282.75mm

Provide 12 mm diameter bars at 280 mm c/c

b) Thickness of wall
σct =( wHD/2 )/(1000 +(137 x 800))
=(80 x 103 )/(1000t + (137 x 800))
For M20, m= 13
1.2 = (80 x 103)/(1000t +(13.7x800))
1.2 (1000t + 10960) = 80 x 103
1200t + 10960 = 80 x 103
T=120 mm
Using emperical formula
T= 30h +50
T =30(2.2) + 50
T=116 mm
Adopt thickness of wall t = 120 mm
Spacing of hoops > 3t12
Max. spacing is 280 mm>/ 3 x 120
280mm>/ 360mm
Hence ok

Design of vertical reinforcement

Minimum vertical reinforcement
Assume 8 mm diameter bars
 AØ = π /4 x 82
AØ = 50.265 mm2
Spacing = 1000 AØ/As
=1000 x 50.265/360
=139.6 =140
Provide 8 mm dia bars at 140 mm c/c
Design of floor slab
Provide 0.3 % of cross sectional area of concrete in each direction
Adopt thickness of floor slab = 120 mm
As = (0.3 x 1000 x120)/100 = 360 mm2
Using area of steel is each layer = 360/2 =180 mm2
Using 8 mm dia bars AØ =30.265 mm2
Spacing = 1000 x 50.26 /180 =279.25mm
=270 mm c/c
