To validate the foundation design of firewater tank for reduced strength of concrete from
4000psi (27.6 MPa) to 3000psi (20.6 MPa).
Design Consideration:
Pedestal:
Mu = 42 kN-m
As Vertical (required) = Minimum Governs
As Vertical (provided) = d12/150 c/c
Hoops Force = 90 kN
As Horizontal (required) = 238 sq.mm (Minimum Governs)
As Horizontal (provided) = 10+10 – d16
Footing:
Soil Beaning Pressure = 38 kN/sq.m < 100 kN/sq.m (Allowable)
As (required) = Minimum Governs
As (provided) = d12/150 c/c
In lights of the above results, the concrete strength of 3000psi (20.6 MPa) is suitable.
