CONCRETE STRUC'lURES FOR STORAGE OF
LIQUIDS - CODE OF PRACTICE
PART 1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
( First Revision )
© BIS 2009
FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (First Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by
the Cement and Concrete Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
This standard was first published in 1965. The-present revision has been taken up with a view to keeping abreast
with the rapid development in the field of construction technology and concrete design and also to bring further
modifications in the light of experience gained while applying the earlier version of this standard and the amendment
issued.
The design and construction methods in reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete structures for the storage of
liquids are influenced by the prevailing construction practices, the physical properties of the materials and the
climatic condition. To lay down uniform requirements of structures for the storage of liquids giving due
consideration to the above mentioned factors, this standard has been published in four parts, the other parts in the
series are:
(Part 2) : 2009 Reinforced concrete structures
(Part 3) : 1967 Prestressed concrete structures
(Part 4) : 1967 Design table
While the common methods of design and construction have been covered in this standard, for design of structures
of special forms or in unusual circumstances, special literature may be referred to or in such cases special systems
of design and construction may be permitted on production of satisfactory evidence regarding their adequacy
and safety by analysis or test or by both.
In this standard it has been assumed that the design of liquid retaining structures, whether of plain, reinforced or
prestressed concrete is entrusted to a qualified engineer and that the execution of the work is carried out under the
direction of a qualified and experienced supervisor.
The concrete csed in liquid retaining structures should have low permeability, This is important not only for its
direct effect on leakage but also hecause it is one of the main factors influencing durability; resistance to leaching,
chemical attack, erosion, abrasion and frost damage; and the protection from corrosion of emhedded steel. The
standard, therefore, incorporates provisions in design and construction to take care of this aspect.
The requirements of IS 456 : 2000 'Code of practice for plain and reinforced concrete (fourth revision)' and
IS 1343 : 1980 'Code of practice for prestressed concrete (first revision)', in so far as they apply, shall be deemed
to form part of this standard except where otherwise laid down in this standard. For a good design and construction
of structure, use of dense concrete, adequate concrete cover, good detailing practices, control of cracking, good
quality assurance measures in line with IS 456 and good construction practices particularly in relation to
construction joints should be ensured.
This revision incorporates a number of important modifications and changes, the most important of them being:
a) Scope has been clarified further by mentioning exclusion of dams, pipes, pipelines, lined structures and
damp-proofing of basements,
b) A clause on exposure condition has been added.
c) Provisions for concrete have been modified in .Iine with IS 456: 2000 with minimum grade o('concrete
as M20 for plain cement concrete, M30 for reinforced concrete and M40 for prestressed concrete (see
also Note 2 under Table I),
d) The maximum cement content has been modified from the earlier requirement of 530 kg/rn" to 400 kg/m',
e) A dau~e on d.urability It.as been added giving due reference to IS 456 in place of earlier clause on
protection against corrosion,
f) Provisions on control of cracking have been modified,
