1.1) Design Basis:

This document covers the design of primary sludge thickener for 120 MLD STP at
Kodungaiyur.

It consists of the following structural elements:

a) Thickener main wall with foundation

b) Launder

c) Feed well

d) Central Pier

e) Grade slab

The water retaining structure has been designed as limited cracked section for 0.2mm crack
width and non-water retaining components are designed in limit state method.

The following primary loads are considered in the design of the structure

a) Dead Loads.
b) Hydrostatic pressure (Liquid in Tanks) which is considered as dead loads.
c) Surcharge load
d) Outside side soil and water pressure

1.2) Material Specifications:

a) Grade of concrete - M35

b) Grade of steel - Fe500

1.3) References:

1) IS: 3370 (Part I – IV) – Code of practice for concrete structures for the storage of liquids.

2) IS: 456 - 2000 – Code of practice for Plain and Reinforced concrete

1.5) Soil Properties:

Net safe bearing capacity is considered as 200kN/sqm at 1.5m R.L

1.6) Design Constants:

1) Liquid density (w) = 10.1 kN/m3

2) Soil density (s) = 18 kN/m3

3) Clear Cover to steel - The minimum clear cover to reinforcement in all R.C.C structures
shall be as per IS456: 2000 (Clause 26.4, Page no. 46) & IS 3370 (part 1 to 3).

b) The main wall is modeled and analyzed with STAAD. The analysis value is arrived from the
STAAD and document is presented with the Crack width checks.

c) Base slab of the clarifier is considered to be the slab on grade with a prop effect to the
main wall

1.8) Load Combinations

The loading combinations are considered in the design of structures in accordance with the
stipulations in the relevant design codes. The load combinations are mentioned below.

a. Tank Full (DL + Water Inside)

b. Tank Empty (DL + Earth pressure + Surcharge)
