 Due to enormous need by the public, water has to be stored
and supplied according to their needs. Water demand is not
constant throughout the day. It fluctuates hour to hour. In order
to supply constant amount of water, we need to store water. So
to meet the public water demand, water tank need to be
constructed.
Storage reservoirs and overhead tanks are used to store water,
liquid petroleum, petroleum products and similar liquids. The
force analysis of the reservoirs or tanks is about the same
irrespective of the chemical nature of the product. All tanks
are designed as crack free structures to eliminate any leakage.
This project gives a brief study of design and analysis of an
Intze water storage tank for GRIET campus using working
stress method and STAAD pro.

 A water tank is used to store water to tide over the daily
requirement. In the construction of concrete structure for the
storage of water and other liquids the imperviousness of
concrete is most essential.
Design of liquid retaining structure has to be based on the
avoidance of cracking in the concrete having regard to its
tensile strength.
Cracks can be prevented by avoiding the use of thick timber
shuttering which prevent the easy escape of heat of hydration
from the concrete mass the risk of cracking can also be
minimized by reducing the restraints on free expansion or
contraction of the structure.

 The name Intze is given by a German hydraulic engineer
OTTO INTZE(1843-1904)
Intze Principle for water towers: A water tower built in
accordance with the Intze Principle has a brick shaft on which
the water tank sits. The base of the tank is fixed with a ring
anchor made of iron or steel, so that only vertical, not
horizontal, forces are transmitted to the tower. Due to the lack
of horizontal forces the tower shaft does not need to be quite
as solidly built.
This type of tank was first used in Germany between 1885 and
1905.

 A water tank built in accordance with the Intze principle has
brick shaft on which the water tank sits.
In Intze tank we provide a domed floor so that the domed floor
balances the horizontal thrust coming from the conical slab.
Due to lack of horizontal forces the tower shaft does not need
to be solidly built.
A ring beam has to be provided to support the dome.
This ring would be supported by columns. This dome balances
the horizontal force and make it economical when compared
to normal tanks.

 0.3% of gross cross sectional area must be provided up to
100mm thickness
0.2% of gross cross sectional area for 100-450mm thickness
0.2% of gross cross sectional area should be provided for
>450mm thickness in each direction
0.12% should be provided in foundations

 The objective of using them is to fill the pores of concrete and
to obtain a dense and less permeable concrete.
Commonly used water proofing material is HYDRAULIC
LIME.
Other agents like chalk, sodium silicate zinc sulphate, calcium
chloride etc.., are used.

 GRIET campus uses water coming from bore well and also
water tankers for daily use.
It converts some amount of water to drinking water through
mineral water plant available at the back of block-2.
College has a major underground water tank of 1 lack liters
capacity which is filled by tankers and also through the bore
well working at Ganges valley school.
Water is pumped through this tank for all blocks including
pharmacy through two motors of 7.5hp and 5hp.

 Because of power crisis, improper functioning and delay of
water tankers and poor availability of ground water in this area
there is a huge crisis for water in our campus.
As the campus is increasing in facilities and growing its
capacity by implementing new courses and blocks which leads
to the increase in demand of water.
So, there is a need for the proper storage and optimum
utilization of water for the future use.
Hence constructing an elevated Intze water storage tank at
proper area would be most preferable to meet the future need
of water demand.

 STAAD PRO:
Structural Analysis And Design developed by Bentley is most
commonly used software for quick analysis and design of
water tank.
It uses Finite element analysis to analyze any structure which
is the best method to analyze easily and in less time.

 Both manual design and STAAD deigns are analyzed
for the same loading conditions.
First manual calculations are calculated and then these
dimensions are taken in STAAD analysis.
Results shown that no member fail and the design is
stable.
The reinforcement details of STAAD doesnt give
much economical design.
So the manual design is adopted for the construction of
tank.
