Introduction Storage tanks are built for storing water, liquid petroleum, petroleum products and similar liquids Designed as crack free structures to eliminate any leakage Permeability of concrete is directly proportional to water cement ratio. Cement content ranging from 330 Kg/m 3 to 530 Kg/m 3 is recommended in order to keep shrinkage low. 4
Introduction Use of high strength deformed bars are recommended for the construction of liquid retaining structures Correct placing of reinforcement, use of small sized and use of deformed bars lead to a diffused distribution of cracks A crack width of 0.1mm has been accepted as permissible value in liquid retaining structures 5
Introduction In order to minimize cracking due to shrinkage and temperature, minimum reinforcement is recommended as: For thickness 100 mm = 0.3 % For thickness 450 mm = 0.2% For thickness between 100 mm to 450 mm = varies linearly from 0.3% to 0.2% For concrete thickness 225 mm, two layers of reinforcement be placed, one near water face and other away from water face. 6

Crack Control – Theoretical Background Load induced cracks: Cracks are caused by tensile stresses due to loads moments, shears, etc.. 17
Crack Control – Theoretical Background Non-Structural Cracks: 18

Crack Control – Theoretical Background 0.3 percent minimum reinforcement has been found to be acceptable provided that movement joints are less than 30 ft (10 m) apart for concretes made with ASTM C 150 and ASTM C 595 cements. With shrinkage-compensating concrete , joint spacing up to 75 ft (25 m) have been used successfully with 0.3 percent reinforcement (ACI 350R). Minimum temperature and shrinkage reinforcement should be No. 4 (13 mm) bars, spaced not farther than 12 in. (300 mm) on center , each face. Fig. 9.1 shows the ACI 350R recommendations for concretes made with ASTM C 150 and ASTM C 595 cements. 26

Cylindrical Tanks 58
Cylindrical Tanks For small capacities rectangular tanks are generally used and for bigger capacities circular tanks are used. The walls of circular tanks may have flexible joints or rigid joints at the base. Cylindrical Tanks with Flexible Joint at the Base. In these tanks walls are subjected to hydrostatic pressure. The tank wall is designed as thin cylinder. At the base, maximum pressure = wH. As = T / fs “axial tension reinforcement” fs : allowable steel stress considering crack control T 59

Cylindrical Tanks Example: D = 8 m; H = 12m Assume: fs = 200 MPa; fct = 1.8 MPa Approximate design values Max. Ring Tension: T = (0.9) * 10 *12 *4 = 432 kN Reinforcement: As = 432 *1000 / 200 = Max. Wall Thickness: t = T / f ct f ct : Allowable concrete tensile stress Max. Base BM: M b = g w *H *R*t / 4 Max. +ve BM: M +ve = M b /5 63
Cylindrical Tanks The BM for circular slabs are acting in two orthogonal directions 1) the radial direction; 2) the tangential direction The RFT should be placed to cover 1) BM in tang. Dir. 2) BM + axial Tension in radial direction (base shear of wall) 64

Stability of Elevated Water tanks When a tank containing liquid vibrates, the liquid exerts impulsive and convective hydrodynamic pressure on the tank wall and the tank base in addition to the hydrostatic pressure. In order to include the effect of hydrodynamic pressure in the analysis, tank can be idealized by an equivalent spring mass model, which includes the effect of tank wall – liquid interaction. V H W M (over turning) = V * H B M (balancing) = W * B/2 F.O.S = M (bal.) / M (ot.) 90
