M30 1.5 N/mm? | 2.0 N/mm? + If the thickness is more than 200 mm, the reinforcement is provided in 2 layers, one on each face + Minimum steel is 0.64% and 0.4% of the surface zone for mild steel and HYSD respectively + The above percentage values can be reduced to 0.35% and 0.24% for tank with no dimension more than 15m
