 Preface

This book presents group of examples on the design of reinforced concrete tanks
according to ACI318-14, ASCE/SEI 7-16, ACI350.3-06, and ACI350-06. The
examples are given in metric units.
The book is useful for Structural Engineering students and practicing engineers. It
consists of five chapters and provides day to day design examples. The book includes
the design for seismic loads.

 FEATURES
 Reflects the very latest American Concrete Codes Provisions.
 Numerous illustrations and figures of each topic.
 Concrete and steel reinforcement properties assumed in the
examples are identical with those commonly used.
 Good theoretical background for each topic with code provisions.
 Extensive examples in each chapter utilizing SI units.
 Full reinforced details for the example.
 Designs are provided as a step by step procedure.
 All expected cases in common practice are considered.
 Economy and practicality of the design are also considered in
addition to safety.
 Analysis and design equations are written such that the designs
could by programmed or prepared using spread sheets, easily.
