DESIGN OF WATER RESERVOIR

Tank dimensions:
Length : 55 m
Breadth : 28 m
Height : 5.5 m

Unit weight of water = 10 kN/m
As per IS 1893- II
In impulsive mode:
Mi tanh (0.866 x L )
=
M h
(0.866 x L )
h
where Mi = mass of water in impulsive
where M = total water mass

Mi = tanh (0.866 x 55 )
M 5.5
( 0.866 x 55 )
5.5
= 1.0000 = 0.1155
8.660
Mi = 0.1155
M
Mi = 0.1155 M where M
= 55 x 28 x 5.5 x 10

= 84700 kN/m
Mi = 84700 x 0.1155 = 9782.85 kN
Mi = 9782.9 kN

Now, hi = 0.375 for h < 0.75

h L
hi = 0.375 x 5.5 = 2.0625 m
h = 5.5 m

Similarily, In convective mode:

Mc = tanh (3.16 x h )
M 0.264 L
h
L

Mc = 0.264 tanh (3.16 x 5.5 )

M 55

Mc = 0.264 x 0.5145 = 0.080753808 = 0.8075

M 5.5 0.1
55

Mc = 0.8075 x M
= 84700 x 0.808 = 68398.47516 kN

Mc = 68398.47516 kN

Now , hc = cosh ( 3.16 x h ) - 1

h 1 - L
3.16 x h sinh (3.16 x h )
L L

hc = cosh ( 3.16 x 5.5) -1

h 1 - 55
3.16 x 5.5 sinh (3.16 x 5.5 )

= 1 - cosh (0.316) - 1
0.316 sinh (0.316)

= 1 - 1.0503 -1

 hc = 0.5041

hc = 2.77 m

Now , Seismic accleration

An = Z x I x Sa where
2 x R x g Z = 0.24 Zone IV
I = 1.0 From IS 1893 - II Table - 1
where Sa = 2.5 ( consider) R = 2.5 From IS 1893 - II Table - 2
g

An = 0.24 x 1 x 2.5 = 0.12

2 x 2.5

An = 0.12

Now , Moment at the base of wall due to impulsive mode :

Mi = (An)i x hi + Mw x hw
28

Mi = 0.12 x (9783 x 2.0625 + 113.85)

28

Mi = 97.67 kN- m/m

Moment due to convective mode :

Mc = (An)c x mc hc = 0.12 x 68398.5 x 2.78

28
= 812.8 kN- m/m

Resultant moment on wall due to impulsive and convective mode :

M = Mi² + Mc² = (97.67^2 + 812.77^2 )

M = 818.61 kN- m/m

Thickness required

d = 6M = 6 x 818.7 x 10^6 = 1567.11 mm

b Fy 1000 *2

D = 1568 mm

Ast
req = 1.5 x 812.77 x 10^6 = 2024 mm2
0.89 x 0.87 x 500 x 1568
Design of wall for earth pressure

W = 5.5 x 20 x 0.5 = 55 kN/m

Moment due to earth pressure

M = 55 x 5.5 ^2 = 277.2916667 kN- m/m
6

Moment due to surcharge = 5 kN- m

M = 5 x 5.5 ^2 = 75.625 kN- m/m
2
Total moment due to surcharge load
= 75.625 + 277.291666666667 = 352.917 kN- m/m
