Preface
This book provides a comprehensive understanding of the design and construction of water-
retaining structures. allowing graduate civil and structural engineering students. as well
as the practising engineer. to design with speed and economy. Assuming some familiarity
with BS 8110 Structural Use of Concrete the book draws on examples. many of which
are based on actual completed structures. and upon extensive tables. related to the analysis
of rectangular. circular and conical structures, to develop good working practice. The
tables and examples will enable the engineer to check, by hand, the often complex results
of computer analysis and output. usually based on the finite element method. for most
structures. This is particularly so in those cases where the forces within a structure are
affected by the ground upon which they sit. Thus, methods of designing for the soil/structure
interaction, which normally require the aid of complex computer programs. are included.
The tables and examples will prove to be a good reference for carrying out new work
to modern methods and regulations. and will give direction to the student engineer in the
use of currrent British Standards for the design of many types of concrete structures.
An essential part of the book are the listed computer programs and output which further
assist the designer in obtaining a range of options from which the most effective and
economical solution may be determined for a particular structure; whilst a useful appendix
covers the analysis of ground-supported open circular concrete tanks.

hence
fs = [M - fct*(h - x)*b*hl3]/[As*(d - xl3)]

then:
b*x*fcl2 = fs*As + (h-x)*b*fct/2

fc = 2*[fs*As

fc/(Ec*x) = fs/[Es*(d - x)]
L
hence
fc = [fs*Ec*x)/(Es*(d - x)]
To solve the equations a 'trial and error' approach may
be used and a value of 'x' is firstly assumed and then
refined until the values of 'fc' calculated using the
equations above are, within reasonable bounds, P'~P&
approximately equal.
Program 3P2 is given on page 52 which solves the
three equations for both short and long term loading. The Figure 3.4
curvature (l/rb) is also calculated.
Equation 8 in the BS is derived using method 'b' and
the value of the estimated curvature, assuming an
uncracked section, is:
The deflection caused by base rotation may be estimated
l/rb = M/(Ec*I) as follows:
Whichever method gives the greatest value of curvature TAN cp = (PI-P2)/(ks ... B)
then the result of that method is to be used. a2 = (PI-P2)/(ks ... B) ... HI
The deflection caused by water pressure is finally
estimated using equation II and Table 3.1 of the BS. The where PI and P2 are the bearing pressures at the toe and
equation is: heel of the wall respectively assuming trapezoidal
distribution of pressure. 'ks' is the modulus of subgrade

Stiff clay
When the wall thickness varies as shown in Fig. 3.4 Medium sand (submerged) 25
then the estimated deflection is obtained again using the Very stiff clay 45

Essentially 'k' is calculated by dividing the numerical Well graded gravel 82

This particular analysis is carried out with the aid of
Tables 9.27 and 9.28.
As is required for the design of the base slabs of circular
tanks, the modulus of subgrade reaction (Ie), alternatively
known as the foundation modulus, must have been deter-
mined or estimated, usually from the results of CBR tests.
The value of k is not a well-defined constant; however,
since the fourth root only is to be used in the calculations.
the significance of any reasonable error is considerably
1
reduced.

E modulus of elasticity of the concrete

~(k/4EI)
The tables give coefficient values for the effect of a unit
load at a position X(alL), upon other positions Y(b/L).
These effects are determined for positions up to Y =
L for loads placed from X = 0 to X = 0.5 L.
Once the coefficients are determinetl for a series of
moveable loads, about a particular position Y, they are
adGied together to give the complete value at Y, as
illustrated in Figs 4.2 and 4.3. Figure 4.3
67
Since the loads are only placed upon half the span the
effect of a load at the right-hand end of the span, i.e. X =
I upon the position Y = 0.25, is the same as a load at
the left-hand end of the span, i.e. X = 0 upon the position
Y = 0.75. This concept is used in Fig. 4.4 and also in

For this two-member tank base account must be taken of the
venical deflection and shear forces at the wall joint, as the applied
loads are divided between the inner and outer pans of the slab
to a statically indeterminate degree. The slope deflection method
of analysis then becomes the most suitable technique.
EXAMPLE 6
In Example 2 a tank with its projecting base slab supported on
• plastic foundation was analysed. The analysis when the founda- '(a)
tion is elastic, with a modulus k = 33 tons/sq.ft/in, is now
described.

the elastic medium is not so great as when there is no toe on the
base slab. The joint rotation remains relatively small because of ,~
the balanced proportions of the base.
For other values of the foundation modulus these comments
remain valid, the chief effect of modulus variation for this type of
tank being on the rate of damping of the joint disturbances.

Retaining Wall Method of Analysis
When the base slab of a circular tank is divided by a circular
flexible joint (see Figs. 3 and 4) a section through the tank
resembles a retaining wall. One method used to treat the structure
is to design the base slab to carry the tank wall fixed-end moment,
bu\ this method can be correct only fortuitously when the joint
rotation is zero. Now the vertical cantilever of a straight retaining
wall has no stiffness against outward lotation and it is unnecessary
to consider the joint deformations in the analysis. However, a
circular tank wall has considerable rotational stiffness and th ~
circular retaining wall type of structure is statically indeterminate.

The moment carried by the base depends on the amount of joint
rotation.
