FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part II ) was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 19 November 1965, after the draft finalized by the Cement and Concrete Sectional Committee had been approved by the CivilEngineering Division Council. 0.2 The need for a code covering the design and construction of reinforced concrete and prestresscd concrete structures for the storage of liquids has been long felt in this country. So far, such structures have been designed to varying standards adapted from the recommendations af the Institution of Civil Engineers and of the Portland Cement Assoziation with the result that the resultant structures do not possess a uniform guaranteed margin of safety and dependability. Moreover, the design and construction methods in reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete are influenced by the prevailing construction practices, the physical properties of the material and the climatic conditions. The need was, therefore, felt to lay down uniform requirements of structures for the In order to fulfil this need, formulation of this Indian storage of liquids. Standard code of practice for the storage of liquids ( IS : 3370 ) was This part [ IS : 3370 ( Part II )-19651 deals with reinforced undertaken. Three other parts of the code are the following: concrete structures. Part I General Part III Part IV Design requirements concrete structures tables Prestressed

0.3 Although

the provisions of this code cover mainly structures for the storage of liquids, the general provisions of this code,may also be applied, with such modifications as found necessary, to suit the special conditions in the design of reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete structures for the conveyance of liquids such as aqueducts and superpassages. 0.4 While the common methods of design and construction have been covered in this code, design of structures of special forms or in unusual

IS I 3370 ( Part II ) - 1965 circumstances should be left to the judgement of the engineer and in such cases special systems of design and construction may be permitted on production of satisfactory evidence regarding their adequacy and safety by analysis or test or by both. 0.5 In this standard it has been assumed that the design of liquid retaining structures, whether of plain, reinforced or prestressed concrete, is entrusted to a qualified engineer and that the executron of the work is carried out under the direction of an experienced supervisor. 0.6 All requirement of IS : 456-1964* and IS : 134%1960f, they apply, shall be deemed to form part of this code except wise laid down in this code. in so faf as whereother-

0.7 The Sectional Committee responsible for the .preparation of this standard has taken into consideration the views of engineers and technologists and has related the standard to the practices followed in the Due weightage has also been given to the need for country in this fi:ld. international co-ordination among the standards prevailing in different These considerations led the Sectional Committee countries of the world. to derive assistance from published materials of the following organiza., tions: British Standards Institution, Institution of Civil Engineers, Portland Cement Association, London, Chicago, and USA.

0.8 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS : 2-1960$. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

IS : 3370 ( Part II ) - 1965 1.2 This code does not cover the requirements for reinforced and prestressed concrete structures for storage of hot liquids and liquids of low viscosity and high penetrating power like petrol, diesel ,oil, etc. Special problems of shrinkage arising in the storage of non-aqueous liquid and the measures necessary where chemical attack is possible, are also not dealt with. The recommendations, however, may generally be applicable to the storage at normal temperatures of aqueous liquids and solutions which have no detrimental action on concrete and steel or where sufficient precautions are taken to ensure protection of concrete and steel from damage due to action of such liquids as in the case of sewage. 2. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

2.1 Design and construction of reinforced concrete liquid retaining structures shall comply with the requirements of IS : 3370 ( Part I j-1965+. 3. DESIGN 3.1 General - Provisions shall be made for conditions of stresses that may occur in accordance with principles of mechanics, recognized methods of design and sound engineering practice. In particular, adequate consideration shall be given to the effects of monolithic construction in the assessment of bending moment and shear. 3.1.1 Before taking up the detailed design, the designer should satisfy himself on the correct estimation of loads and on the adequate statical equilibrium of the structure, particularly in regard to safety against overturning of overhanging members; in the latter case the general arrangement should be such that statical equilibrium should be satisfied even when the overturning moment is doubled. 3.2 Basis of Design 3.2.1 General basis of design shall be in line with the recommendations of IS : 456-1964t except where otherwise specified in this code. The parts of the structure neither in contact with the liquid on any face nor enclosing the space above the liquid, as in case of staging of a water tower, shall be designed in accordance with the requirements of IS : 456-1964t. 3.2.2 Design of .members other than those excluded by 3.2.1 shall be based on consideration of adequate resistance to cracking as well as adequate strength. Calculation of stresses shall be based on the following *Code of practice for concrete structures for the storage of liquids: Part requirements. tCode of practice for plain and reinforced concrete ( second revision ). 5 I General

3.2.3 Plain Concrete Structures - Plain concrete members of reinforced concrete liquid retaining structures may be designed against structural failure by allowing tension in plain concrete as per the permissible limits for tension in bending specified in IS : 456-1964. This will automatically take care of failure due to cracking. However, nominal reinforcement in accordance with the requirements of IS : 456-1964* shall be provided for plain concrete structural members. 3.3 Permissible Stresses in Concrete

3.3.1 For Resistance to CrackingFor calculations relating to the resistance of members to cracking, the permissible stresses in tension ( direct and due to bending ) and shear shall conform to the values specified in Table 1. The permissible tensile stresses due tobending apply to the face of the In members less than 225 mm thick member in contact with the liquid. and in contact with the liquid on one side, these permissible stresses in bending apply also to the face remote from the liquid.

the permissible 3.3.2 For Strcn@h Calculations - In strength calculations, concrete stresses shall be in accordance with 8 of IS : 456-1964*. Where the calculated shear stress in concrete alone exceeds the permissible value, reinforcement acting in conjunction with diagonal compression in the concrete shall be provided to take the whole of the shear.

4.2 Floors of Tanks Resting on Ground - If the tank is resting directly over ground, floor may be constructed of concrete with a nominal percent;ige of reinforcement ( smaller than the minimum specifird in 7 ) provided it is cert,lin that the ground will carry the. load without appreciable subsidence in any part and that the concrete floor is cast in panels with sides not more than 4.5 metrcs with contraction or expansion joints between. In such cases a screed or concrete layet not less than 75 mm thick shall first be placed on the ground and covered with a sliding layer of bitumen paper or other suitable material to destroy the bond between the scrced and floor concrete. In normal circumstances the screedlayer shall be of grade not weaker where injurious soils or aggressive than M 100 specified in IS : 456-19647, water are expected, the screed layer shall be of grade not weaker than M 150 specified in IS : +j6-1964t and if necessary a sulphate resisting or other special cerhent should be used. 4.3 Floors of *auks Resting on Supports - If the tank is supported on walls or other similar supports, the floor slab shall be designed as floors in buiidings for bending moment,s due towater load and sslf weight. The worst conditions of loadings may not be those given in 9.3 of IS : 4561964?, since water level extends over all spans in normal construction except in the case of multi-cell tanks, these will have to be determined by the designer in each particular case. 4.3.1 When the floor is rigidly connected to the walls ( as is grnerally the case ) the bending moments at the junction between the walls and floor shall be taken into account in the design of floor together with any direct forces transferred to the floor from the walls or from the floor to the wall due to the suspension of the floor from the wall.

At the vertical edges <where the walls of a reservoir are rigidly joined, horizontal reinforcement and haunch bars should be provided to resist the horizontal bending moments, even if the Ivalls are designed to withstand the whole load as vertical beams or cantilever without lateral supports.

c) In the case of rectangular or polygonal tanks, the side walls act as two way slabs, whrreby the wall is continued or restrained in the horizontal direction, fixed or hinged at the bottom and hinged or free at the top. The walls thus act as thin plates subject to triangular loading and with boundary conditions varying between full restraint and free edge. The analysis of moment and forces may be made on the basis of any recognized method. However, moment coefficients, for boundary conditions of wall panels fog some common cases are given in IS : 3370 ( Part IV )-1967t of this code for general guidance. *Code of practice requirements. _ tCode of practice

Walls of cylindrical tanks are either cast monolithically with the base or are set in grooves and key ways ( movement joints ). In either case deformation of the wall under the influence of liquid pressure is restricted at and above the base. Consequently, only part of the triangular hydrostatic load will be carried by ring tension and part of the load at the bottom will be supported by cantilever action. It is difficult to restrict rotation or settlement of the base slaband it is advisable to provide vertical reinforcemeut as if the walls were fully fixed at the base, in addition to the reinforcement required to resist horizontal ring tension for hinged at base conditions of walls, unless the appropriate amount of fixity at the base is established by analysis with due consideration to the dimensions of the base slab, the type of joint between the wall and slab and, where applicable, the type of soil supporting the base slab. for ~different -_ in Is : 3370

6. ROOFS 6.1 Provision of Movemtnt Joints - To avoid the possibility of sympathetic cracking, it is important to ensure that movement joints in the roof correspond with those in walls if roof and walls are monolithic. If, however, provision is made by means of a sliding jnint for movement between the roof and the wall, correspondence of joints is nc,t so important. structures should be 6.2 Loading - Fixed covers of liquid retaining designed for gravity loads, such as the weight of roof slab, earth cover, if any, live loads, and mechanical equipment. They should also be designed for upward load if the liquid retaining structure is subjected to internal gas pressure. 6.2.1 A superficial load sufficient to ensure safety with the unequal intensity of loading which occurs during the placing of the earth cover should be allowed for in designing roofs. The engineer should specify a loading under these temporary conditions, which should not be exceeded. In designing the roof, allowance should be made for the temporary condition of some spans loaded and other spans unloaded, even though in the final state the load may be small and evenly distributed.
