Design of Tank Wall As Horizontal Slab:: 8.50N/mm2 275.00N/mm2

The document provides design details for the walls of a water storage tank. It specifies the tank's dimensions, material properties, and water pressure calculations. It then calculates the bending moments at different points of the short and long walls. From these bending moments, it determines the required steel reinforcement areas. It also calculates the direct tension in the walls from water pressure and the required reinforcement for that. Finally, it determines the cantilever bending moment and reinforcement in the short walls.

Design of tank wall as horizontal slab :

length of tank , L = 6.5 m


width of tank , B = 3.50 m
Height of wall , H = 3.50 m
thickness of wall , t = 0.8 m
grade of concrete = M 25
grade of steel = Fe 500

capacity of tank , Q = 79.63 m3

Pressure at base due to water pressure = 10 x 3.50


= 35.00 KN/m2

distance at which maximum water pressure will act = 0.875 m or 1m

maximum water pressure for design of wall for horizontal bending per unit height.
p = 25 KN/m2/m
(same for both long and short walls)

σcbc = for M25(table 21,IS 456) 8.50N/mm2


σst = for Fe 500 (table 22,IS 456) 275.00N/mm2

m (modular ratio) = (280/(3*Ϭcbc))= 10.98

k = m*σcbc/(m*σcbc+σst)= 0.25

j= 0.916

Determination of bending moments


short wall
B.M at the end of the span = 1*p*B2/12 = 25.52 KNm
(producing tension on water force)

B.M at the center of span =1*p*B2/16 = 19.14 KNm


(producing tension on outer force)

Ast required = 136.98 mm2

Ast (min) = 8400 mm2

Long wall
B.M at the end of the span = 1*p*L2/12 = 88.02 KNm
(producing tension on water force)

B.M at the center of span =1*p*L2/16 = 66.02 KNm


(producing tension on outer force)

Ast required = 472.44 mm2


Direct tension or pull in long walls

The water pressures on short walls are transformed into tension to the long walls.

Pressure due to waterP = (H-h) w*1*B = 87.50 KN/m

Direct tension or pull transformed to each long wall


T =(H-h)B*w/2 = 43.75 KN/m

Ast required = 159.09 mm2/m

Direct tension or pull on short walls

Direct tension or pull on short walls


T =(H-h)L*w/2 = 81.25 KN/m

Ast required = 295.45 mm2/m

Cantilever moment in short walls.

Maximum cantilever B.M in short walls =(wH*h/2)*(h/3) = 5.83 KNm

Ast required = 31.31 mm
