Depth of water =2.54m
Sump Size available : 2.93m x 1.31 on one side and 2.06m on other side

>12000 litres.
Concrete Grade : For cover slab M25.

DESIGN:
DESIGN OF COVER SLAB:
Slab size : 2.93m 1.69m L/B
=2.93/1.69=1.73<2.0
Though the slab has to be designed as two way,
the span is very small and hence designed as one
way simply supported slab. slab.
Assume slab thickness as 125mm
d=125-20-10/2=105mm.
Loads:
Live Load =2.00 KN/m2
Self weight 0.125x25 =3.13 KN/m2
Finishing =1.0KN/m2
Total Load =6.13KN/m2
Consider max width as short span(2.06m)
Effectiv.e span =2.06+0.105=2.165m
Bending Moment =Wl2/8 =
2
6.13x2.165 /8 = 3.59 KN.m.
Factored B.M. =5.39 KN.m.
Mu.lim. =0.138 fck b d2
=0.138 x 25x 1000 x 1052
=38.04 KN.m > 5.39KNm
Hence under reinforced section. K=
Mu/b d2 =5.39 x106/1000 x 1052
 =0.49
From Table 3 of SP 16 pt =0.139
Ast= 0.139 x 1000 x 105 =146 mm2
100
Using 10mm bars spacing = ast x 1000
Ast
=78.5 x 1000 =538 mm
146
Max spacing limit to 3d (3x105=315) 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 125 =150
100
Using 8mm bars spacing = ast x 1000
Ast
=50 x 1000 =333 mm
150
Max spacing limit to 5d (3x95=285) or 300mm whichever is less.
Provide 8mm dia bars at 200mm C/c.

Check for Deflection :

Actual span ratio = 2165/105 =20.62
d

For pt= 392.5 x 100 = 0.37

1000 x 105
Max. Permissible Span ratio from Chart 23 of SP16 =26 > 20.62

d
Hence O.k.

2.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 M30 concrete and
Fe415 (HYSD) steel
σcbc = 10.0N/mm2 σst=130 N/mm2

Design Constants:
m=Modular ratio =280/3 σcbc = 280 =9.33
3x10.0

n = m σcbc = 9.33 x 10.0 = 0.418

m σcbc+ σst 9.33x10.0+130

j= 1 – n = 1- 0.418/3 = 0.861
3

K = ½ σcbc n j =1/2 x 10.00 x 0.418 x 0.861 =1.80

The water tank has to be designed for the following two cases.
1) Tank is full and no earth fill 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 2.74 =27.4 KN/m2

Cantilever moment M= (1/2x27.4 x 2.74) x2.74/2=51.43 KN.m
Ast = M/ σst x j = 51.43 x 106 =327 mm2
130x0.861x220

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.m 2
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 =2x0.15x5.30x1.25x2 =49.69KN
5
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.
