The bottom is considered as resting on ground and hence the water pressure counteracts the upward
soil pressure. The bottom slab is designed as grade slab for Min steel as per IS 3370 assuming depth as
500 mm and reinforcement is provided for D/2 depth as per the surface zone concept of 3370 for
grounded slabs.
DESIGN CHECK OF MINIMUM REINFORCEMENTS FOR UNDERGROUND WATER TANK
As per IS 3370 Min steel required for a cross section is 0.35 %
