3/12/2014 Reinforced Circular Water Tank | Design of RCC Structures | Civil Engineering Projects

I take the vision which comes from dreams and apply the magic of science and mathematics, add
the heritage of my profession and my knowledge of nature's materials to create a design.

RCC Circular Water Tanks
Circular water tanks have the properties of the cylinder. Cylinder stress is exerted on the circula
tank. It is distributed with rotational symmetry. The stress distribution remains unchanged if the
► Concrete Design is rotated about a fixed axis.
► Pour Concrete Slab
► Structural Calculations There are three different patterns of cylinder stress namely;

1. Hoop stress or circumferential stress – it is in tangential direction

RECENT POSTS 2. Axial stress – parallel to the axis of the cylinder
3. Radial stress – It is perpendicular to the symmetry axis but is coplanar

D = diameter of tank in metres

ADVERTISEMENTS The formula for pressure is given by,

P = d x h —————————————equation 2

Where,

d = density of water = 10kN/m3

Design Software For Estimators, GCs & PMs Calculation the area of steel

Department Of Civil Let the area of steel be denoted by Ast

Engineering
Ast = (Ht)/ σst
Engineering
Programs = ( d x h x D/2)/ σst

Construction
Engineering Ast = d x h x D/2 σst

Steel Design
Step three:
Structural Analysis Calculating the thickness of the wall of circular tank
And Design Software

Structural Analysis
And Design Ht = equivalent area of section x σct

Where,

Ht = hoop tension in kN

σct = permissible tensile stress in concrete

Equivalent area of section

= A + (m – 1) Ast

= 1000t + (m – 1)Ast

Therefore, T = [ 1000t + ( m – 1) Ast] x σct

Concrete σ ct( N/mm2)

M15M20 1.11.2

M25 1.3

M30 1.5

In order to design a water tight tank, M20 grade concrete is generally used.

Values of σst for different grades of steel

Mild steel F e415 F e500

σst ( near liquid 100 N/mm2 170 N/mm2 205 N/mm2

σst ( away from 125 N/mm2 200 N/mm2 245 N/mm2

liquid surface)

Minimum steel area = 0.3% of concrete area in each direction
