in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority,
and whereas the attached publication of the Bureau of Indian Standards is of particular interest
to the public, particularly disadvantaged communities and those engaged in the pursuit of
education and knowledge, the attached public safety standard is made available to promote the
timely dissemination of this information in an accurate manner to the public.

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 2) (First Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards. after the draft
finalized by the Cement and Concrete Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division
Council.
This standard was first published in 1965. The present revision has been taken up with a view to keeping abreast
with the rapid development in the field of construction technology and concrete design and also to bring further
modifications in the light of experience gained while applying the earlier version of this standard and theamendment
issued .
The design and construction methods in reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete structures for the storage
of liquids are influenced by the prevailing construction practices, the physical properties of the materials and the
climatic condition. To lay down uniform requirements of structures for the storage of liquids giving due
consideration to the above mentioned factors, this standard has been published in four parts, the other parts in the
series are:
(part 1) : 2009 General requirements
(Part 3): 1967 Prestressed concrete structures
(Part 4): 1967 Design tables
While the common methods of design and construction have been covered in this standard, for design of structures
of special forms or in unusual circumstances, special literature may be referred to or 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 .
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 execution of the work is carried out under the
direction of a qualified and experienced supervisor.
All requirements of IS 456 : 2000 'Code of practice for plain and reinforced concrete (fourth revision)' and
IS 1343 : 1980 'Code of practice for prestressed concrete (first revision)', in so far as they apply, shall be deemed
to form part of this standard except where otherwise laid down in this standard. For a good design and construction
of structure, use of dense concrete, adequate concrete cover, good detailing practices, control of cracking, good
quality assurance measures in line with IS 456 and good construction practices particularly in relation to
construction joints should be ensured.
This revision incorporates a number of important modifications and changes, the most important of them being:
a) Scope has been clarified further by mentioning exclusion of dams, pipes, pipelines, lined structures and
damp-proofing of basements;
b) A new sub-clause on loads has been added under the clause on design;
c} Regarding method of design, it has been specified that one of the two alternative methods of design, that
is, limit state design and working stress design may be used; and
d} Provision for crack width calculations due to temperature and moisture and crack width in mature
concrete have been incorporated as Annex A and Annex B, respectively.
The composition of the Committee responsible for formulation of this standard is given in Annex C.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the results of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS 2 : 1960 'Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)' . The number of significant places retained in the
rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
