DATA :
Sump Size : 5.0m (L) X 2.0m(B) X 1.25m(H)
Concrete Grade : For cover slab M20.
For Tank M25.
Steel Grade : Fe 415

Unit weight of water : 10 KN/m3

Live Load for Cover slab 2 KN/m2

DESIGN:
DESIGN OF COVER SLAB:
Slab size : 2.0m x5.0m
L/B =5.0/2.0=2.50> 2.0
Hence the slab has to be designed as oneway slab.
d required =2000/25 =80mm.
However from deflection point of view provide D=120mm
d=120-20-10/2=95mm.
Loads:
Live Load =2.0KN/m2
Self weight 0.12x25 =3.0KN/m2
Finishing =1.0KN/m2
Total Load =6.0KN/m2
Effective span =2.0+0.095=2.095m
Bending Moment =Wl2/8 = 6.0x2.0952/8
= 3.29 KN.m.
Factored B.M. =4.94 KN.m.
Mu.lim. =0.138 fck b d2
=0.138 x 20x 1000 x 952
=24.91 KN.m
Hence under reinforced section.
K= Mu/b d2 =4.94 x106/1000 x 952
=0.55
From Table 2 of SP 16 pt =0.158
Ast= 0.158 x 1000 x 95 =150 mm2
100
Using 10mm bars spacing = ast x 1000
Ast
=78.5 x 1000 =523 mm
150
Max spacing limit to 3d (3x95=285) or 300mm whichever is less.
Provide 10mm dia bars at 200mm C/c. (Ast provided=392.5mm2)
Distribution Steel :
Mini. Ast = 0.12 x 1000x 120 =144mm2
100
Using 8mm bars spacing = ast x 1000
Ast
=50 x 1000 =347 mm
144
Max spacing limit to 5d (3x85=430) or 450mm whichever is less.
Provide 8mm dia bars at 200mm C/c.

Check for Deflection :

Actual span ratio = 2095/95 =22.05
d

For pt= 392.5 x 100 = 0.4132

1000 x 95
Max. Permissible Span ratio from Chart 23 of SP16 =25.20 > 22.05
d
Hence O.k.

DESIGN OF WATER TANK

DESIGN OF SIDE WALL:
This has to be designed by Working Stress Method with the following
permissible stresses to avoid leakage problem..Using M25 concrete and
Fe415 (HYSD) steel
σcbc = 8.50N/mm 2
σst=150 N/mm 2

Design Constants:
m=Modular ratio =280/3 σcbc = 280 =10.98 =11.00
3x8.5

n=m σcbc = 11 x 8.5 = 0.384

m σcbc+ σst 11x8.5+150

j= 1 – n = 1- 0.384/3 = 0.872
3

K=½ σcbc n j =1/2 x 8.50 x 0.384 x 0.872 =1.423

The water tank has to be designed for the following two cases.
1) Tank is full and no earthfill outside.
2) Tank is empty and active earth pressure acting from outside.
Case 1: When Tank is full and no earth pressure outside
Long Wall:

Ph = w xH=10 x 1.25 =12.5 KN/m2

Cantilever moment M= (1/2x12.5 x 1.25) x1.25/2=4.88 KN.m
Ast = M/ σst x j = 4.88 x 106 =327 mm2
150x0.872x120

Using 10mm dia bars spacing required = = 78.5 x 1000 = 240 mm

327

Provide 10 mm bars at 150 mm C/c near inner face in vertical

direction.

Horizontal bars in Long wall

Since long wall is predominantly acting as a cantilever, distribution steel is
provided & checked for axial Tension when tank is full without earth
pressure from outside.
Mini. % of steel = 0.30 x 1000 x 150 = 450mm2
100
Using 10 mm bars spacing required = 78.5 x 1000 = 174 mm
450

Provide 10mm bars at 150mm C/c inside the face.

Check for Direct Tension :

TL= w (H-h) B/2 = 10 x (1.25-1.0) 2.0/2=2.50KN,
Ast required = 2.50 x 103 = 17 mm2
150
Distribution steel takes care of this Tensile forces .

Case 2: When Tank is empty

Ph =k + 1
wH where
K= 1- sin Φ = 1-sin 30 =1/3
1+ sin Φ 1+ sin 30

1
s= s- w =16-10=6 KN/m2
Ph= (1/3 x 6x 1.25) +(10x1.25) =15.0KN/m2
M=(1/2 x 15.0x HxH/3)
=(1/2x 15.0 x 1.25x 1.25/3) =3.91 KN.m.
Depth of balanced section = sqrt M/k b = Sqrt 3.91 x 106
1.423x1000
=52.42mm
However provide D=150mm, d=150-20-10/2=128mm
Ast required = M/ σst j = 3.91 x 106
150 x0.872x 128
=234mm2

Using 10mm bars spacing required = 78.5 x 1000 =335mm

234

Provide 10mm bats at 150mm C/c near inner face of the wall.

DESIGN OF SHORT WALL :

Vertical reinforcement :

Cantilever action height for lower portion

h= H/4 or 1m whichever is more =1m.
When water tank is empty and outside soil is saturated
ph=(1/3x6x1.25)+(10x1.25)=15KN.m2
M= 1/2x15.0x1.0x1.0/3 =2.50KN.m

Ast = M = 2.50 x 106

σst x j 150x0.872x128

= 129mm2

Direct compression due to load on 1m wide long wall

P= 15.0 x (1.25-1.0) x1.0 =3.75 KN.
Concrete alone can resist if water tank is full and no earth fill.
Ph= 10 x 1.25 =12.50KN/m2
M= ½ x 12.50 x 1.0x 1.0/3 =2.08 KN.m quite small.
Provide mini reinforcement in vertical direction which is 10mm at 150mm
C/c

At Mid span :
B.M. is half of 2.08/2 =1.04 KN.m
Provide same reinforcement 10mm bars at 150mm C/c near outer
face.
DESIGN OF BASE SLAB:

Assume thickness of base slab =200mm

d = 200-50-12/2=144mm
Height from base slab =1.25+0.20=1.45m
Upward pressure when soil is saturated =10x1.45 =14.50 KN/m2
In bottom slab there is no projection.

Downward Loads:
Weight of top slab =0.12x5.30x2.3x25 =36.57KN.
Weight of long wall =2x0.15x5.30x1.25x25 =49.69KN
Weight of short wall =2x0.15x2.3x1.25x25 =21.56KN
Weight of bottom slab =5.30x2.30x0.20x25 =60.95KN
Total Load =168.77KN
Uplift force on bottom slab= 14.50(5.30+2.30)=110.20KN
Since downward force is more than uplift force on bottom slab, projection is
not required.
Provide 150mmx 150mm haunches at junction. Provide junction
reinforcement 10mm bars at 150mm C/c.
Self weight of slab directly get transmitted to soil.
Net upward soil pressure=(10x1.45)- (0.2x1x1x25)
=14.50-5.0=9.50KN/m2

Bending moment:
Considering net upward pressure B.M.=9.50x2.152/8=5.49 KN.m
Considering weight of water alone B.M. =(10x1.25)x 2.152/8=7.22KN.m
Considering higher moment,
Ast required = M = 7.22 x 106
σst x j 150x0.872x144

= 383mm2
Minimum Ast = 0.3 x 1000x 200 = 600mm2
100

Using 12mm bars spacing = 113 x 1000= 188mm

600
Provide 12mm bars at 150mm C/c

Distribution Steel:
Mini. Ast = 600mm2
Ast on each face =600/2 = 300mm2
Using 10mm dia bars spacing = 78.5 x 1000
300
Provide 10mm dia bars at 150mm C/c in longitudinal direction near
both faces.
