INTRODUCTION
 Storage tanks are built for storing water, liquid
petroleum, petroleum products and similar
liquids
 Designed as crack free structures to eliminate
any leakage
 A crack width of 0.1mm has been accepted as
permissible value in liquid retaining structures
 Cement content ranging from 330 Kg/m3
to 530
Kg/m3
is recommended in order to keep
shrinkage low.
 Code of Practice for the storage of Liquids-
IS3370 (Part I to IV)
 Fractured strength of concrete is computed
using the formula given in clause 6.2.2 of IS 456
-2000 ie., fcr=Sq. Root of 0.7fck MPa.
 Allowable stresses in reinforcing steel as per IS
3370 are
 σst = 115 MPa for Mild steel (Fe250) and
 σst = 150 MPa for HYSD bars(Fe415)
 In order to minimize cracking due to
shrinkage and temperature, minimum
reinforcement is recommended as:
 For thickness (t) 100 mm = 0.3 %
 For thickness (t) 450 mm = 0.2%
 For thickness between 100 mm to 450 mm =
varies linearly from 0.3% to 0.2%
 For concrete thickness (t) 225 mm, two
layers of reinforcement be placed, one near
water face and other away from water face.
 Cover to reinforcement is greater of
i) 25 mm, ii) Diameter of main bar
 For tension on outer face:
σst = 140 MPa for Mild steel and
σst = 230 MPa for HYSD bars
 For concrete thickness ≥ 225 mm, two
layers of reinforcement be placed, one
near water face and other away from
water face.

 Rectangular tanks are used when the storage
capacity is small
 Rectangular tanks should be preferably square in
plan from point of view of economy.
 It is also desirable that longer side should not be
greater than twice the smaller side.
 Moments are caused in two directions of the wall
i.e., both in horizontal as well as in vertical
direction
 The walls are designed both for direct tension
and bending moment. 18
 When the height is large in comparison to its length,
the moments will be in the horizontal direction and
panel bends as a thin slab supported on edges.
 For intermediate condition bending takes place both
in horizontal and vertical direction.
 In addition to the moments, the walls are also
subjected to direct pull exerted by water pressure
on some portion of walls.
 When the length of the wall is more in comparison
to its height, the moments will be mainly in the
vertical direction, i.e., the panel bends as vertical
cantilever . 19
 IS3370 (Part-IV) gives tables for moments and
shear forces in walls for certain edge condition.
 IS3370 provides coefficient for max Bending
moments in horizontal and vertical direction.

• The slab is resting on firm ground. Hence
nominal thickness and reinforcement is
provided. The thickness of slab is
assumed to be 200 mm and 0.24%
reinforcement is provided in the form of #8
@ 200 c/c. at top and bottom
• A haunch of 150 x 150 x 150 mm size is
provided at all corners
