Tank Design Information


Floor Slab Thickness (inches) = 5
Wall Thickness (inches) = 10
Footing Width (inches) = 48 (Required soil bearing pressure = 2000 psf)
Footing Thickness (inches) = 12
Footing Overhang (inches) = 14
Concrete Compressive Strength (f 'c, psi) = 4000 (Required strength for all concrete)
Footing Radial Steel (As1) = #4 @ 8.0" (Place radial steel on top of ring steel)
Footing Ring Steel (As2) = #4 @ 6" (Place ring steel 3 inches above footing base)
Wall Vertical Steel (Asv) = #4 @ 8" (Place vertical steel on the outside of the ring s
Wall Ring Steel (Asr) = #4 @ 6" (Ring steel must be placed in the center of the w
Tie Bar Steel = #4 @ 8" (Secure all tie bars to footing radial steel)
Floor Slab Steel (Floor Steel) = #4 @ 12"
Floor Steel Splice Length (inches) = 20
Wall Ring Steel Splice Length (inches) = 20
Footing Ring Steel Splice Length (inches) = 20
Tank Capacity (ft3) = 63617 (Assuming 1-ft. freeboard, 6-in. sediment, 6-in.
