DESIGN OF CYLINDRICAL WALL

The wall is designed based on IS Code 3370 Part 4.

The wall is designed as hinged at base slab, subjected to triangular distributed water pressure.

Diameter of Tank = D 9.00 m

Depth of Water = H 4.45 m
Grade of Concrete = M 30 N/mm2
Grade of Steel = fy 500 N/mm2
Unit wt. of concrete = wc 25000 N/m3
Unit wt. of Water = w 10000 N/m3
Nominal cover = 35 mm
Effective cover = 40 mm

1 Design Constants : For HYSD Bars & Concrete M 30

sst = 130 N/mm2

scbc = 10 N/mm2 m = 9.333
m*c 9.33 x 10
k= = = 0.418
m*c+sst 9.33 x 10 + 130

j=1-k/3 = 1 - 0.418 / 3 = 0.861

R= 1/2xσcbcxkxj = 0.5 x 10 x 0.418 x 0.861 = 1.799

2 Determination of Bending moment and Hoop tension :

Assume thickness of wall = 250 mm

H2 4.45 x 4.45
= = 8.801
Dx T 9 x 0.25
By interpolating the coefficients of 8.338 & 10 we will get the coefficient of 8.801.
Maximum tension occurs at = 0.7 x H = 3.10 m from top and
Coefficient = 0.706
i) Maximum hoop tension at this level = Coefficient x w x H x D/2
= 0.706x10000x4.45x9/2
= 141376.50 N/m

Hydro dynamic force = 2.18 x 1000 x 4.45 / 2

= 4850.50 N/m

Total maximum hoop tension at this level = 141376.5+4850.5

= 146227.000 N/m
ii)
Refer Table 10 of IS 3370 (Part-IV) for coefficient.
Maximum Moment occurs at = 1.0 x H = 4.450 i.e. at base
The -ve sign indicates tension at the inner face.
Coefficient = 0.0100
Maximum cantilever Bending moment M f = Coefficient x w x H3
= 0.01 x 10000 x 4.45^3
= 8812.11 N - m/m
Total bending moment = 8812.11 N - m/m

Maximum +ve moment occurs at 0.7H = 3.115 m From Top

Coefficient = 0.001
Maximum B.M at 0.7 H = Coefficient x w x H3
= 0.001 x 10000 x 4.45^3
= 881.21 N-m/m

3 Design of section for cantilever action :

If t is the effective thickness of the Tank wall
Thickness required for cantilever moment = √ Mf / 1000xR
= √ 8812.11*1000/(1000*1.799)
= 69.99
= 69.99 mm
Overall thickness = t + Cover = 69.99+40
= 110.0 < 250 mm
Wall thickness = 30H +50 = 30 x 4.45+ 50 = 183.5 mm
Effective thickness provided t = 210 mm
i) Area of steel for cantilever bending moment A st = Mf /σst x j x t
= 8812110/(130*0.861*210)
= 374.9 mm²
< Minimum reinforcement
Area of steel for +ve bending moment A st = Mf /σst x j x t
= 881211/(130*0.861*210)
= 37.49 mm²
< Minimum reinforcement
Hence minimum reinforcement be sufficient, calculations are shown below.
ii) Vertical reinforcement :
Minimum reinforcement = 0.35 %
Ash = 0.35*1000*250/100
= 875 mm2
Minimum reinforcement on each face = 437.5 mm3
= 3.14xdia2/4
using 10 mm bars A
=78.54 mm2
Spacing of hoop Bars = 1000*78.54/374.9
= 180
say 75 mm
Hence Provide 10 mm dia bars at 75 mm c/c .on Both the faces.
Provided Ast= 1047 > 374.9 mm2 OK
5 Design of section for hoop action :
i) Hoop reinforcement
146227
Area of hoop steel for both faces A sh = = 1125 mm2 / m
130
> Minimum reinforcement
Area of steel on Each face = 1124.8 / 2 = 562 mm2 / m
= 3.14xdia2/4
using 10 mm bars A
=
78.54 mm2
Spacing of hoop Bars = 1000*78.54/562.4
= 140
say 100 mm
Hence Provide 10 mm dia bars at 100 mm c/c .on Both the faces.
wHD/2
If T is thickness of wall, we have, sct =
1000 T+(m-1)Ash
where s ct= permissible direct tensile
stress of concrete 1.5 N/mm2 for M-30 concrete

T = thickness of wall in mm m = modular ratio = 9.333

T= 1.5 = 146227/1000T+(9.333-1) x 1124.8
T = 88 mm
< 250 mm SAFE
