FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 3) (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.
The design and construction methods in reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete structures for retaining
aqueous 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 retaining 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 General requirements
Part 2 Plain and reinforced concrete
Part 4 Design tables
This standard was first published in 1967. This revision has been brought out 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. In this revision,
the title of the standard has been modified from ‘Concrete structures for storage of liquids — Code of practice:
Part 3 Prestressed concrete structures’ to ‘Concrete structures for retaining aqueous liquids — Code of practice:
Part 3 Prestressed concrete’ for better representation of the contents of the revised standard.
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 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
pre-stressed 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 engineer.
The concrete used in liquid retaining structures should have low permeability. This is important not only for its
direct effect on leakage but also because it is one of the main factors influencing durability, resistance to leaching,
chemical attack, erosion, abrasion and frost damage and the protection from corrosion of embedded steel. The
standard, therefore, incorporates provisions in design and construction to take care of this aspect.
The requirements of IS 456 : 2000 ‘Plain and reinforced concrete — Code of practice (fourth revision)’ and
IS 1343 : 2012 ‘Prestressed concrete — Code of practice (second 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 long term performance of
the structure, use of dense, nearly impermeable and durable concrete, adequate concrete cover without macro
defects in cover concrete, proper detailing practices, control of cracking, effective quality assurance measures in
line with IS 456 and good construction practices particularly in relation to construction joints should be ensured.
Designer should take appropriate measures to the need for chemical resistance while dealing with liquids or
sewage/effluents.
Following are the significant modifications incorporated in this revision:
a) Scope and provisions of the standard have been updated to reflect the applicability of the standard to
concrete structures retaining all aqueous liquids.
b) Design recommendations are generally applicable to the retaining of aqueous liquids having temperature
not exceeding 50 °C, and the same has been indicated.
c) A new sub-clause on loads has been added.
d) Limit state method has been introduced and working stress method has been removed.
e) All the design provisions, as per limit state method, have been revised and made comprehensive.
f) Prestressed concrete members retaining liquid shall be designed as either Type 1 or Type 2, based on
tensile stresses permitted.

g) The clause on ‘cylindrical prestressed tanks’ has been modified to include guidance on radial tensile
stress
h) The title of the standard has been modified to address the actual coverage.
In the formulation of this standard, assistance has been derived from the BS 8007 : 1987 Code of practice for
design of concrete structures for retaining aqueous liquids, issued by British Standards Institute (BSI).
The composition of the Committee responsible for the formulation of this standard is given in Annex A.
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 ‘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.
