Abstract
The objectives of structural design is to design the structure for
stability, strength and serviceability. To prevent overturning, sliding
or buckling of the structure, or parts of it, under the action of loads.
To resist safely the stresses induced by the loads in the
various structural members.

Design of any structure on paper is very tedious and much time

required for design so we introduce another way of design by
excel spreadsheet design

What is spreadsheet :-

A spreadsheet is an interactive computer application for

organization, analysis and storage of data in tabular form.
Spreadsheets developed as computerized analogs of paper
accounting worksheets.[4] The program operates on data
entered in cells of a table. Each cell may contain either numeric
or text data, or the results of formulas that automatically
calculate and display a value based on the contents of other
cells. A spreadsheet may also refer to one such electronic
document

Spreadsheet users can adjust any stored value and observe the
effects on calculated values. This makes the spreadsheet useful
for "what-if" analysis since many cases can be rapidly
investigated without manual recalculation. Modern spreadsheet
software can have multiple interacting sheets, and can display
data either as text and numerals, or in graphical form.

Besides performing basic arithmetic and mathematical

functions, modern spreadsheets provide built-in functions for
common financial and statistical operations. Such calculations
as net present value or standard deviation can be applied to
tabular data with a pre-programmed function in a formula.
Spreadsheet programs also provide conditional expressions,
functions to convert between text and numbers, and functions
that operate on strings of text.

Spreadsheets have replaced paper-based systems throughout

the business world. Although they were first developed for
accounting or bookkeeping tasks, they now are used
extensively in any context where tabular lists are built, sorted,
and shared.

2 Basic Of AEIOU Canvas

Understanding the problem of society is one of the biggest
challenges for engineering student as till now they were making
project on imaginary ideas. On the first day, we got the basic
knowledge of design engineering. What is design engineering and why
we need design engineering? How this subject will be useful to the
student? All this questions has been cleared properly and also that how
this activity will be useful in design engineering.

These are the steps of the project or problem. In this canvas, you have
to find out…
• What is user to your problems?
• What is Environment of your project?
• What are activities?
• What is objects and Interaction of your problems?

These are the 1st step of the Project or Problem. List out all these things
and make an AEIOU Canvas, it is the basic action of Design
Engineering. It will help you to know about your problem or project.

Empathy Mapping

3 These are the 2nd step of the Project or Problem.

Understanding the problem of society is one of the biggest
challenges for engineering student as till now they were
making project on imaginary ideas. So this was based on
understanding the domains of the problem in broader sense which
emphasized on interacting with the people of your domain area which
included more of casual talk rather than technical session. And this
activity was named as Story Boarding Canvassing.
Our domain was Wave Power Plant, We started with
identify the people related to our domain directly and indirectly. As we
need to focus on people’s emotions we wrote Happy and Sad Story
which helps us to get more attached with user.

4 Ideation Canvas

These are the 3rd step of the project or problem. From the user canvas,
you have an idea what are the people? In ideation canvas, you have to
carry out which type of activities is related to your project and people?
What is situation and location regarding to activities? Then after you
have to find the possible solutions. It is depend or not depend to your
activities.

Product Development Canvas
4th step is development of product. From possible
Solutions, you have idea about what is product? Our
product is ‘Design of Ocean Wave Power Plant’.

RCC DESIGN OF CONICAL SHAFT
WATERTANK IN EXCEL
Storage reservoirs and overhead tank are used to store water, liquid
petroleum, petroleum products and similar liquids. The force analysis
of the reservoirs or tanks is about the same irrespective of the
chemical nature of the product. All tanks are designed as crack free
structures to eliminate any leakage. Water or raw petroleum
retaining slab and walls can be of reinforced concrete with adequate
cover to the reinforcement. Water and petroleum and react with
concrete and, therefore, no special treatment to the surface is
required. Industrial wastes can also be collected and processed in
concrete tanks with few exceptions. The petroleum product such as
petrol, diesel oil, etc. are likely to leak through the concrete walls,
therefore such tanks need special membranes to prevent leakage.
Reservoir is a common term applied to liquid storage structure and it
can be below or above the ground level. Reservoirs below the
ground level are normally built to store large quantities of water
whereas those of overhead type are built for direct distribution by
gravity flow and are usually of smaller capacity.

OBJECTIVE

1. To make a study about the analysis and design of water tanks.

2. To make a study about the guidelines for the design of liquid

retaining structure according to IS Code.

3. To know about the design philosophy for the safe and economical
design of water tank.

4. To develop programs for the design of water tank of flexible base

and rigid base and the underground tank to avoid the tedious
calculations.

5. In the end, the programs are validated with the results of manual
calculation given in Concrete Structure book

Problem definition
In paper rcc design take more time to complete and this process is very
tedious so this is problem and it is solved by using spreadsheet in
Microsoft excel
