The document discusses the design of a short wall for a water tank, including calculations of wall thickness, moments, reinforcement, and consideration of different load cases.

The wall thickness is calculated based on the bending moment at different sections of the wall and the permissible stress values for concrete in bending. The minimum thickness is checked to satisfy cover requirements and bar diameters.

The vertical and horizontal moments in the wall are calculated based on interpolation of moment coefficients for the H/L and H/B ratios and the density and depth of water. Additional seismic moments are also calculated.

Design of Wall of Tank : Short Wall

Input Data :-

Length of Tank L = 4.00 m (Long side)


Breadth of Tank b = 4.00 m (Short side)
Height of Tank H = 1.800 m
Height of water = 1.800 m
sst = 150 N/mm² for water face j = 0.87 and Q = 1.42
sst = 190 N/mm² away from water face j = 0.89 and Q = 1.25
scb = 8.5 N/mm²
Modular Ratio m = 10.98
Concrete Grade = M 25 Q = 1.42 and j = 0.87

Permissible Stress in steel sst = 150.0 N/mm²

Load conditions:-
Case 1 : When Tank is full of water and no surrounding soil pressure
Density of water = 10.0 kN/m3

Case 2 : When Tank is empty and surrounding soil pressure.


Since water tank is only 350mm below FGL, this load case need not be considered in design.
Hence, only load case 1 is considered in all wall design.

Case 1 :-
Calculation of Moments :-
H = 1.800 m b = 4.000 m H/b = 0.45
Verical Moment :-
By Interpolation,
Cyc = 0.03 and Cyb = -0.063

Myc = ay w H 3
Myc = 0.0300 x 10.000 x 1.80 = 1.7 kN.m
3
Myb = ay w H 3
Myb = -0.0630 x 10.000 x 1.80 = -3.7 kN.m

Horizontal Moment :-

Mxc = ax w H 3
Mxc = 0.0000 x 10.000 x 1.80 = 0.00 kN.m

Shear :- Since, b/H > 2, wall will behave like proped cantilever.
Hence wall will not transfer any horizontal shear to supporting wall.

Horizontal Shear : 3.24 kN


At top 3.24 kN
At bottom 12.96 kN
Shear stress = 12.96x1e3 /169x1000
= 0.077 N/mm²
Allowable shear stress = 1.900 N/mm² Hence, OK
12.96 kN
Seismic Loads :-

Effects of Hydrostatic pressure acceleration (Clause : 5.2.7 - IS : 1893-1984)

The pressure on the bottom of the tank would be:

3 sinh 3 (x/h)
pb = ah wh 2 cosh 3 (l/h)

ah = bI a 0 b = 1.0 for medium soil and Raft foundation


a 0 = 0.04 for Zone III
I = 1.5 Importance factor
ah = 0.06

w= 10.0 kN/m3 (unit weight of water)

h = 1.80
l = 2.00 y
to find value at base, taking y = h h
and x = l

We find,
x
pb = 1.03 kN/m² 2l
Elevation of tank wall (Fig. 6)
Actual water pressure at base = 18.00 kN/m²

Hence net pressure at base with additional hydrostatic pressure due to Earthquake is

= 18.00 kN/m² + 1.03kN/m² = 19.03 kN/m²

So that, finally, the moments in walls are increased proportionately.

Thickness of the wall :

Maximum Bending moment = 3.67 kN.m


And increased moment = 3.89 kN.m ( All moments are increased similarly)
for uncracked section,
considering d/D = 0.9, Q = 0.300 N/mm² (=f / 6) f = 1.8 N/mm² for M25 conc.
(Perm. tensile bending stress)

Design of columns

Loads
From roof beams 350.00 kN
(Max. load at first support is considered)
Selfweight of column 9.00 kN
Total Load 359.00 kN
Say 375.00 kN

s cc = 5.0 N/mm² for concrete


Permissible Stress in steel sst = 150.0 N/mm²
Concrete Grade = M 25

Considering 350 dia. Column

Gross area of column Ag = 96211 mm²


The Load carrying capacity of the column is

Pa = Ac scc + Asc ssc = (Ag-Asc) 5 + Asc(190)


Putting values,
375 x 1E03 = ( 96211-Asc ) 6 + 150 Asc

Asc = -707 mm²


-ve shows that there is no requirement of steel.
Provide minimum 0.8% reinforcement
Asc = 770 mm²

Provide 6-16 f bars and 8 f ties @ 150 mm c/c

Design of Base Slab :-

The bottom slab is resting on the soil and it supports the water and the columns.
The water weight is directly transferred to the soil: therefore, the bearing capacity has to be
Checked. The load from the column is transferred through the bottom slab.

Load from the roof 10.25 kN/m²


Load of columns and beams 2.00 kN/m²
Load of the water 38.00 kN/m²
Load of bottom slab 5.00 kN/m² (200mm thk. slab)
Total Load = 55.25 kN/m²
The bearing Pressure is 55.25 kN/m² which is very less than SBC, hence OK.

Column Footing Design :-


Footing Design for the column is given on separate spread sheet.

Wall Footing Design :-

Vertical load of roof slab = 13.70 kN/m


roof beams load = 19.00 kN/m (Four beam reactions are converted into udl)
weight of wall = 28.50 kN/m
Total = 61.20 kN/m
Total Moment = -3.89 kN.m

Taking width of footing = 1950.00 mm ( 550mm + 400mm + 1000mm)

Water Tank Design
A = 1.950 m²
Z = 0.634 m²
P/A = 31.385 m²
M / Z= = 6.131 m²
P/A + M/Z = 37.515 m² < SBC, Hence OK. (SBC = 100 kN/m²)

At the junction of the Base slab and the wall, the Base slab has to resist same moment
as at the bottom of the wall i.e. 42.49 kN.m /m

Providing same reinforcement in the footing portion of the Base slab,


The Base slab thickness is 50mm more than wall thickness i. e. 450mm

Provide 12 f at 125 c/c =904.3mm² At top of slab

Provide 10 f at 200 c/c =392.5mm² At bottom of slab

The Base slab except footing of wall and columns is taken 200mm thick.
Providing minimum reinforcement of 0.22%

Ast(Min.) = 440.0mm²
On each face 220.0mm²
Provide 8 f at 150 c/c =334.9mm² At top & bottom of slab

Check for uplift:-

When water tank is empty and water table rises upto FGL

Bottom of base slab from GL = 0.55 m

water pressure = -5.50 kN/m² upward

Load from the roof 10.25 kN/m²


Load of columns and beams 2.00 kN/m²
Load of bottom slab 5.00 kN/m² (200mm thk. slab)
Total Load = 17.25 kN/m² downward

Factor of safety against floatation = downward load / uplift force

= 18.25 / 5.5
= 3.14 >1.2 hencs, OK.
