Tension = (T cosθ) D/ 2
Load Calculations:-
Self wt of the dome = 25 x 0.1 = 2.5 kN/m2
Live Load = 1.5 kN/m2
Total Load = 4 kN/m2
Distribution steel,
For 450mm – 0.2 %
100mm – 0.3 %, for 350 mm 0.25 %,
Ast = 644 mm2 i.e., 344 mm2 on each face
Load calculations:
Load due to Top dome = Area of Slab x Meridional stress x Sin θ
= 100 x 1000 x 0.309 x Sin 280 50’ /1000
= 14.9 kN/m
Load due to Top ring beam = 0.4 x 0.4 x 25 = 4 kN/m
Load due to cylindrical wall = 0.35 x 6 x 25 = 52.5 kN/m
Self wt of beam = 0.75 x 0.75 x 25 = 14.1 kN/m
( assuming 750 x 750 mm size)
Total Load = 85.47 kN/m
Hoop tension due water pressure on ring beam = (w.h.d ) x D/2 = 252 kN
Total tension , T = 747.86 + 252 = 1000 kN
Ast = T / σst = 8695.66 mm2 , No. of 25 mm Φ = 18 nos
Shear Reinforcement :
2-legged -10mm Φ , s = 2.5 x Asv x fy / b = 2.5 x 78.5 x 250 / 750
= 125 mm c/c
Design of Conical Dome
The conical dome also acts as a slab spanning between ring beam @
circular beam subjected to bending moment due to weight of water
and its self wt.,
w3 = (5157.24 + 1352.93) / (10π) = 207.225 kN
