Note that although these codes themselves do not contain spe: cific provisions for detailed seismic analysis and design of liquid-containing structures, they do allow use of consen- sus industry standards. The report af Committee 350-01 on the Code Requirements for Environmental Engineering Con Fe Structures of the American Concrete Institute meets this requirement of be ard applicable to liquid-containing and other environmental structures. The committee recently pub: Concrete Struc a nationally recognized consen- sus stand; lished Seismic Design of Liquts-Ce tures(AC1350.3-0Dand ary(AC1350.3R-01), which gives detailed procedures for seismic analysis and design of liquid-containing structures. Furthermore, Chapter 21 ‘of ACI350-01 gives provisions for seismic design of lquid- containing structures much in the same manner as Chap- ter 21 of ACI 318 does for building structures Note that ACT 350-01 refers to ACI 318-95 while ACT 3503-01 is compatible with UBC 1994 service-level earth- quake design methodology. The provisions of ACI 35 1 are not presently compatible with TBC 2000, UBC 1997, BOCA 1996 and SBC 1997 for two reasons: (a) All of these carthquake forces, and (b) af the model cocies are based on mare recent (post seismic hazard analysis and seismic zoning, which incorporated in ACI 350.3, Therefore, ACT 350,3-01 in its current form can not be directly used with these building codes. This publication bridges the gap between ACI 350.3- Land the model codes indicated above which usestrength: level earthquake forces. The concepts of ACI 350-01 and ACI 350.3411 have been extended for use with the IBC 2000, UBC 1997, BOCA 1996 and SBC 1997 for the design ofliquic-containing structures, Anefforthasbeen made to interpret andl extrapolate the concepts and provisions of ‘ACI 350.3-01 to make them compatible with these codes. moddel codes use strength-level have not be Several challenges were encountered during this pro- cess because of incompatibilities and insufficient informa tion pertaining toload combinationsinvolving earthquake and fluid pressure, response modification factors corre sponding to impulsive and convective motion of liquid, effects of dynamic earth and ground water pressure and, the manner in which they should be combined with other loads, and last but not least, complexity of structural response and boundary conditions. Since many of these issues are complex and currently being researched and debated, the interpretations given in this publication are bynomeans final. ACI Committee 350 has identified some of these issues to be taken up as future business. This publication willbe updated when either moreinformation oo better interpretations of these issues become available {through the consensus commitice efforts 1.2 SCOPE This publication is meant as a guide for the design and detailing ofconcrete liquid-containing structures forearth- quake forces according to the model building codes. It covers rectangular and cizcular tanks with non-flexible and flexible wall-to-base slab connections, Chapter 2 provides basic information on the different types of tanks and their wall-to-base slab connections, Chapter 3 summarizes the required earthquake design loads.as prescribed in the model cades nated above. It.also contains the applicable code-prescribed load combina- tions for design of concrete structures. A discussion on variousload combinationsinvolving earthquake and fluid pressure loads applicable to liquid-containing, concrete structures is also presented, Chapter 4 describes modeling and analysis methods using different model codes. The concepts of ACT 3503-01 are integrated with the loading provisions of the IBC 2000, UIBC 1997, UBC 1994, BOCA 1996, and SBC 1997, This chapter also gives equations for determining the pe~ riod of the structure based on the boundary conditions of its walls. Charts and design aids for determining the impulsive and convective weights along with the height are also given. Chapter 5 co) ‘ous components ofthe liquid-containing structure, includ ins the design recommendations for vari- ing foundations, immersed elements and other compo- nents subjected to dynamic loads, Procedures for design of both reciangatlar and circular tank walls are included. Chapter6s: izes the detailing requirements or walls based on ACI 318-99. The ove 350-01 are also noted wherev iding provisions of ACI applicable. Chapter7 illustrates the design and detailing of a rectan- gular concrete tank located in a region of high seismicity per the IBC 2000. The base shear is also computed for the UBC 1997, UBC 1994, BOCA 1996 and SBC 1997 codes. Chapter 8 illustrates the design and detailing of a nonprestressed circular concrete tank located in a region of high seismicity, per the TBC 2000.

Note that in the absence of clearly defined load com- binations, the load combinations given above are the best interpretations of whatiscurrently inthebuilding codesas it applies to liquid-containing structures. The designer should carefully investigate the load combinations that apply to his/her situation, esa of Liguit-Contining Conree Struts fr Cadhguske Forces 3.7.2 Consideration for Environmental Durability ACI 350" requires the following twa modifications to the load combinations. The second modification is not appli cabletothose load combinations thatincludeseismic effects. Modification 1—The load factor to be used for lateral liquid pressure, F, is 1.7 rather than 14. This value of L7 may be overconservative for some tanks, since they are filled to the top only during leak testing or bi idental overflow. Since leak testing usually occurs ‘only once and since most tanks are equipped with over flow pipes, some designers have considered using the load factor of 1.4 in an attempt to reduce the amount of, required steel, which would result in less shrinkage restraint. However, this publication suggests that tank designs meet ACI 350 and, therefore, recommends the use of a load factor of 17 with F. ‘Modification 2—The members must be designed to meet the required strength, Uy, increased by a multiplier called the environmental durability factor (EDP). The EDF will, increase the design loads to provide a more conservative design with leyscracking, The increased required strength is given by Required strength = EDF x U where the EDF equals: 1.3 for flexural reinforcement 1.65 for direct tension reinforcement 1.3 for shear beyond that of the capacity provided by the concrete Forexample, thestrength equations based on ACI 318 are given as follows: 1.

For §lexure, the proposed increase in load factors results in a maximum load factor of 1.3 times L7 =2.2 fornormal live and wa and earth lo: mum load factor of 14-18 3 times fr all dead load.

Thespee trum shown in Fig. 4-6 is for 5% damping, Note that ACL 350.3 recommendls 0.5% damping when calculating the convective forces.

However, it is permitted to use any other rational method that includes a reasonable distribution of ‘massand stifiness characteristics for determining the natu- ral period of the structure. As most concrete tanks are relatively rigid, T, may be taken as 0.3 seconds or less for the preliminary and ap- proximate design calculations. Itis recommended that for Hlexible base tanks, T, should not exceed 1 second for anchored and unanchored contained tanks. This limit should not exceed 2 seconds for unanchored uncontained, tanks.

When this is not the case, dynamic active and passive pressures need to be calculated. References 4-4 and 45, give the guidelines for computing the dynamicactive and, passive pressures.
