Depth of water 9.00 m 9000 mm
Free board 0.00 m 0 mm
Conrete M 25
Steel fy 415 N/mm2 Tensile stess 150 N/mm2

scbc 8.5 N/mm2 m = 10.9804
Nominal cover 35 mm Effective cover = 40 mm

1 Design Constants:For HYSD Bars Cocrete M = 25

sst = 150 N/mm2 wt. of concrete = 25000 N/mm2

scbc = 8.5 N/mm2 m = 10.9804
m*c 10.98039 x 8.5
k= = = 0.3836
m*c+sst 11 x 8.5 + 150
j=1-k/3 = 1 - 0.384 / 3 = 0.8721
R=1/2xc x j x k = 0.5 x 8.5 x 0.872 x 0.384 = 1.422

2 Dimention of tank:-
The depth of tank (H) = 9.00 m
The inside diameter of tank=(D) 6.25 m

3 Determination of bending moment and hoop tension:-

Thickness of wall from empirical formula = 3H+5 = 3 x 9.00 + 5 = 32 cm

H 2
= 9.00 x 9.00
= 41 h = H/3 = 9.00 / 3 =
DT 6.25 x 0.32
The height above base, upto which cantilever action will be there is given by H/3 or 1 m which ever is heigher
D
Maximum ring tension at this level, per meter height = w (H-h) where w = 21000

pressure at h/3 = 21000 x ( 9.00 - 3 )x = 393750 N

4 Design of setion for cantilever action:-

if d is the effective thickness of tank wall,

Ö Ö
Mf 283500 x 1000
D= = = 447.00 mm
1000 R 1000 x 1.4217
\ Total thickness =d +cover = 447 + 40
= 487 = say 490
However, provide a minimum thickness equal to the greater of following;
(I) 150mm (II) 30H+ 50 = 30 x 9.00 + 50 = 320 Hence provide T=
Providing 40 mm cover to the center of reinforcement, availble d = 460
Mf 283500 x 1000
Area of steel for cantilever bending is given by= Ast = = =
sst . J .d 150 x 0.872 x 460
3.14xdia2 3.14 x 20 x 20
using 20 mm bars A = = =
4 x100 4 x 100
 Spacing of hoop Bars = 1000 x 314 / 4711 = 67 say = 60 mm
Hence Provided 20 mm F bar, @ 60 mm c/c upto height of 3.00 m from base

Above this height, curtail half bars and continue the other half upto top. Let us test this for devlopment length

f .sst 20 x 150
Ld = = 938 mm say 0.94 m
4. tbd 4 x 0.8 =
Hence half bars may be curtailed at 3.00 m height above the base. These vertical bars are to be
provided inner face . Keep a clear cover of = 25 mm

5 Design of section for hoops action;

Maximum hoops tension 393750 N at 3.00 m above the base
\ area of ring, Ash = 393750 / 150 = 2625 mm2
Let us provide rings atboth faseHence of area of ring in each face= 1312.5 mm2
3.14xdia2 3.14 x 12 x 12
using 12 mm bars A = = =
4 x100 4 x 100
Spacing of hoop Bars = 1000 x 113 / 1313 = 86 say = 80 mm
Hence Provided 12 mm F bar, @ 80 mm c/c upto height of 3.00 m from base
and above this, the spacing may be increased
1000 x 113
Actual , Ast = 2 x = 2826 mm2
80
393750
\ sct = 3.639 > 1.2
1000 x 80 +( 10.98 - 1 )x 2826 =
Hoop tension at 4.50 m below top = 21000 x 4.50 x 6.25 / 2.00 = 295312.5
\ area of ring, Ash = 295312.5 / 150 =1969 mm 2

Let us provide rings atboth faseHence of area of ring in each face= 985 mm2
3.14xdia2 3.14 x 12 x 12
using 12 mm bars A = = =
4 x100 4 x 100
Spacing of hoop Bars = 1000 x 113 / 985 = 115 say = 110 mm
Hence Provided 12 mm F bar, @ 110 mm c/c upto height of 4.50 m from base
0.3
At the top, minimum Ash = x 1000 x 500 = 1500 / 2 = 750
100
Spacing of hoop Bars = 1000 x 113 / 750 = 151 say = 150 mm c/c

6 Distribution reinforcement:-
500 - 100
Percentage area of distribution reinforcement is 0.30 - 0.10 x = 0.186
450 - 100
0.186
\ Ash = x 1000 x 500 = 928.57 area of steel in each face =
100

However , no additional reinforcement will be provided at inner face since the vertical steel for cantilever action
will serve this purpose. Hence provided Ast= 464.29 mm2 in vertical direction at the outer face.
3.14xdia2 3.14 x 8 x 8
using 8 mm bars A = = =
4 x100 4 x 100
Spacing of hoop Bars = 1000 x 50 / 464 = 108 say = 100 mm
Hence Provided these 8 mm F bar, @ 100 mm c/c

7 Provision for haunches:-

It is customary to provide150 mmx150mm haunchesat the junction of wall and base.
A haunches reinforcement of 8 mm f @ 100 mm c/c may be provided.
8 Design of tank floor.:-
Since the tank floor is resting on ground throughout , provide a minimum thickness of
0.30
Minimum Ast = x 150 x 1000 = 450 mm2 in each direction
100
Provide half the reinfocement near each face, Ast = 225 mm2
3.14xdia2 3.14 x 8 x 8
using 8 mm bars A = = =
4 x100 4 x 100
Spacing of hoop Bars = 1000 x 50 / 225 = 223 say = 200 mm
However provide 8 mm f bars @ 200 mm c/c in both direction , at top and bottom of floor slab.
The floor slab will rest on 75 mm thick layer of lean concrete covered with a layer of tar felt.
