A) Design of top Dome Grade M 25

Long radius of top dome (R) Sin φ= 0.6543 = 3.90 m

or φ = 0.713 Radian Then, φ = 40.87 Deg.
Cos φ= 0.756
1+Cos φ= 1.756
Let thickness of dome ("[Link]") = 75 mm
or = 0.075 m
Self weight of dome = 1875.00 N/m2
Live Load & [Link] finishes etc. = 2500.00 N/m2
Total Load (Lw) = 4375.00 N/m2
Meridinial thrust at the springings = Lw x R/ (1+Cos φ) = 9708.83 N/m
Compressive stress due to meridinial thrust =Lw x R/ (1+Cos φ) Tt = 0.13 N/mm2
Hoop stress at springings = Lw x R (Cosφ-1/(1 + Cos φ))/ dome thickness = 0.04 N/mm2
Allowable compressive stresses in domes for Grade M 25 2.40 N/mm2
Since,the stresses are very small, hence provide minimum nominal reinforcement @ 0.24 %
0.24 % =(0.24/100) x 100 x 1000 = 240.00 mm2
 Page 2
Spacing by using Tor Steel = 8 mm φ ,(Af) = 50.27 mm 2

Aɸ x 1000 / A st = 209.44 mm
Say 180 mm
Hence, provide 8 mmφ @ 180 mm,c/c bothways & also
Provide 4.00 Nos. (Extra hoops) bars 8 mm φ, in a length of
410.89 mm at top, say 550 mm, at top to take care of continiuty
effect & also increase thickness to 93.75 mm, near supports.

B) Design of Top Ring beam :- Grade M 25

Horizontal tension in the ring beam (T) = 18722.50 N
A st required = Total tension/σ st = 144.02 mm2
Area of steel by using bars of 10 mm φ , (Af) = 78.54 mm 2

Hence No'[Link] bars required = 1.83 No.

Say 4.00 No.
Actual area of steel provided (A stp) = 314.16 mm2
Size of Ring Beam:-
Allowable stress in composite section = 1.30 N/mm 2

Then, total tension / A+ ( m - 1) A stp = 1.30 N/mm2

Then "A" = 11266.49 mm 2

Provide Ring Beam having size of 200 x 200 mm

Hence the area of top Ring Beam = 40000.00 mm 2

Which is > than Ast reqd = 11266.49 Hence, Safe

Equivalent area = Size of Top Ring Beam x No's of bars x A ɸ = 40314 mm 2

Tensile Strength = Total Tension / Equivalent Area = 0.464 N/mm2

Which is < than 1.30 N/mm2

(m-1)*Ast = 1739.15
Therefore thickness "t" required = 16.35 mm
Say 200.00 mm
Minimum thickness as per formula :- 30 x " h" + 50 = 102.50 mm
Say 200.00 mm
However provide wall thickness of 200 mm at bottom and keep it same upto top.
Therefore , average thickness of wall t = 200.00 mm
Depth of water H = 1.75 m
Assume average thickness of wall t = 200.00 m
Internal Dia of the tank D = 5.10 m
H2/Dt = 3.00

Hence Provide bars of 16 201.06 10 2010.62 mm2
12 113.09 0 0 mm2
Design of lateral ties :- 2010.62 mm2
The dia of ties should not be < than 1/4 of Tor steel used in columns = 4.00 mm
Pitch of Ties which should be least of following :-
i) 16 times of Main bars = 256 mm
ii) 48 times of ditribution bars = 384 mm

Say 100 Over a distance of 700
(ii) 1/2 the least lateral diamension = 225

Wind load on the staging = 31491.24 N
Maximum load for design of lowest brace = 41890.18 N
(load on tank + 3/4 load on staging)
This will go on reducing by wind load on staging/6 = 7872.81 N for every successive brace
Maximum shear force due to seismic force= 91564.38 N
which is > 41890.18 N

Therefore, design shear force for all braces = 91564.38 N

say 6.00 No.
Provide 6 No's bars of 16 mm ɸ , at " top and bottom" of the braces

Max shear force = 2Mb/L = 48719.6091682817 N
Shear stress = 0.73 N/mm2
p = Ast*100/bd 1.81
Permessible shear stress = 0.495 N/mm2 AS PER IS CODE 456-2000 TABLE-23
Design shear force = (Tv-Tc)*b*d 15678.3591682817 N
Spacing 2 legged stirrups 8 mm ɸ , (A ɸ) = 50.27 mm2
Sv = 0.87*Tst*Asv*d/Td 342.58 mm
say 150 `
Hence, provide 8 mm ɸ @ 150 mm centre to centre.

Else if the calculated shear stress is less than the permissible stress, then provide minimum reinforcement as follow :
Provide minimum shear reinforcement :-
Spacing (S v ) = 2.50 x A sv xfy/b
Spacing 2 legged stirrups 8 mm ɸ , (A ɸ) = 50.27 mm2
Asv = No's of legged xπ/4 x f 2
= 100.53 mm 2

Sv = 2.50 x A sv xfy/b 417.20 mm , Say 200 mm

Hence, provide 8 mm ɸ @ 150 mm centre to centre.

Provide raft circular footing of outer dia.= 6.05 m & inner diameter = 4.05 m
Therefore the provided width = 1.00 m
Assume the cols. be connected to a circular beam at base, which in turn is connected to raft slab.

Pressure due to Moments (M/Z) = 21.08 KN/m2
Maximum Pressure = ( + ) 71.56 KN/m2
Minimum Pressure = ( - ) 29.40 KN/m2
< than B.C. x 1.50 = 195.00 KN/m2
Design presssure of soil on the raft:
(i) Pressure on soil due to DL+Live load (p) = 62.81 KN/m2
(ii) Pressure on soil due to Eartquake loads (Maximum) = 129.60 KN/m2
(Minimum) = -7.63 KN/m2

Design Pressure (Maximum) = 97.44 KN/m2
Width of foundation beam being 450 mm or = 0.45 Mtr.
Overhang on both sides = 0.275 Mtr.
Raft slab Thickness
Consider one metre width of the raft slab, design load = 97.44 kN/m
Bending moments at the face of the Column/ beam = 3684.45 Nm
Effective depth required "d" = 57.61 mm
Provide 250 mm thick slab and reduce thickness to 250 mm at edges
Therefore "d" (Effective) available = 194 mm
Using Tor Steel 12 mm ɸ (Aɸ) = 113.10 mm2
"d" effective = 194.00 mm
Since the earthquake effects are considered the permissible stress in tor steel will be increase by 33%
Area of steel required (A st )= 91.44 mm 2

Spacing of Tor Steel = 1236.79 mm

Hence Say 200 mm
provide 12 mm φ , radial bars @ 200 mm c/c.
Taking 0.12 % of gross area, Area of steel = 300.00 mm 2

Using Tor Steel 12 mm ɸ, (A ɸ) = 113.10 mm 2

Spacing of Tor Steel = 376.99 mm

Say 200 mm
Hence provide 12 mm ɸ, circumferential bars @ 200 mm c/c.
Check for Shear:
Shear force at the face of column = 26.80 kN
Effective depth of the footong = 194.00 mm
Nominal Shear stress = 0.14 N/mm2
 Page 11

i) Design of circular beam of raft slab :-

Assume the width of the circular beam = 450 mm
Net upward pressure per metre run
Total load i/c foundation / π x Bottom dia. (w) = 97439.95 N/m
C1 = 0.137 R = 2.53 m
C2 = 0.070 Φ = 1.571 radians

Max.-ve BM at supports C1 x w R 2 Φ = 133690.41 N m
Max.+ve BM at Mid span C2 x w R 2 Φ = 68308.97 N m
[Link] moment (Mm/) C3 x w R 2 Φ = 20492.69 N m
Required effective depth of the beam"d" = 517.35 mm
Hence adopt overall depth of beam = 600 mm
and the width of circular ring beam = 450 mm
Effective depth, using T/steel 16 mm φ bar & clear cover 50 mm
"d" = 542.00 mm
Using Tor Steel 16 mm φ , Aφ ) = 201.06 mm2
Torsional moment = MImx(1+D/b of beam)/1.70 = 28127.22 N-m

Steel at supports :- Max.- ve BM = 133690.41 N-m

Max.+ ve BM = 96436.19 N-m
Since the earthquake effects are considered the permissible stress in tor steel will be increase by 33%
A st = M T / j x d x 1.33 σst = 892.96 mm 2

Say 892.96 mm 2

No's of bars required = 4.44 No.

Say 5.00 No.

Using Tor Steel 16 mm φ (Aφ ) = 201.06 mm 2

No. of bars = 3.20 No.

Say 4.00 No.
Provide 4 No. bars of 16 mm φ , at top and
Curtail 0 No. bars beyond 0.25 L from support.

Side face reinforcement:- Required if Depth of beam is > 750mm

If the depth of ring beam is beyond 750 mm, side face reinforcement is required as under:-
Total area of side face reinforcement @ 0.10 % of web area = 270.00 mm 2

Therefore area on each face = 135.00 mm 2

Area by using Tor Steel 12 mm φ ,(Aφ ) = 113.10 mm2
Hence, provide 2.00 No'[Link] of 12 mm φ , as side reinforcement
on each face.
Total area of steel in beam Ast = 1809.56 mm 2

Minimum area of steel required = 85/fy % = 0.20 %

= 499.55 mm2
Provided 1809.56 mm2 > 499.55 Hence provided steel is more than minimum required
