Design of Septic Tank

The document provides calculations to determine the required capacity of a septic tank. It estimates the number of users, waste water inflow, sludge accumulation, and retention period. Based on these factors, it calculates the total waste volume to be 11.8 cubic meters. The recommended septic tank size is 8 meters long by 2 meters wide by 1.5 meters deep, with a capacity of 19.2 cubic meters. This meets the volume needs calculated and passes other design checks for soil bearing capacity and uplift forces.
