7 step design procedure for RCC Circular Water Tank
In our previous article, we discussed some important theory and formulas required in the design procedure of Circular Water Tank.
Refer: Important theory and formula derivation for Circular Water Tank
We will now move on with the stepwise design procedure for Water tank design.
Step One
Determine the design constants such as σcbc, σct, m, σst
Where,
σcbc = permissible compressive stress in concrete
σct = permissible tensile stress in concrete
m = modular ratio
σst = permissible compressive stress in steel
Step two
Determine:
- Dimensions of the tank
- Volume of the tank
- Area of the tank (by assuming its depth)
