    The document provides guidelines for structural design considerations for concrete structures. It discusses goals of serviceability, durability, low permeability, and limiting deflections and cracks. It provides references on structural design standards. It outlines requirements for concrete mix design, steel reinforcement, thickness criteria, joint design, and analyzing loads. The goals are to provide structural guidelines to design watertight and durable concrete structures that resist cracking and deflection.

    Structural Design Considerations

    By Gene Gopenko, P.E.

    GOALS:
    Serviceability Durability Low Permeability Limiting Deflections and Cracks

    ACI 350R-89:
    This report presents recommendations for structural design, materials, and construction of concrete tanks, reservoirs, and other structures commonly used in water containment, industrial and domestic water, and wastewater treatment works, where dense, impermeable concrete with high resistance to chemical attack is required. Among Types of Structures: intakes and conduits.

    START WITH RIGHT INGREDIENTS!

    Concrete Requirements
    Min. Concrete Strength=4000 psi at 28 days Air Entrainment=5%1% Maximum Water-cement Ratio=.45 Maximum Slump=4 inches Aggregates per ASTM C33, max. aggregate size=1 inch No admixtures containing calcium chloride

    Steel Reinforcing
    New Billet Steel to Confirm to ASTM A615 Grade 60 Epoxy Coated Rebars

    Minimum Concrete Cover:


    Concrete Base=3 inches (4 COE) Concrete Walls=2 inches (3 COE) Stilling Basin=6 (COE)

    Temperature and Shrinkage Reinforcing


    ACI 318 for Grade 60 Steel: As=0.0018bh ACI 350R (use chart), but As(min.)=0.0024bh

    Concrete Joints
    Construction Joints Expansion Joints Separation Joint

    Waterstops

    Crack Reduction
    Joint Spacing Joint is controlled crack. Crack is uncontrolled joint Reinforcing Distribution-try to reduce bar spacing! Where the structure must be watertight, bar spacing should not exceed 12 inches.

    Minimum Thickness
    ACI 350R: Walls with height greater than 10 feet shall be a minimum of 12 in thick and shall contain reinforcement on both faces. A minimum of 8 in is required where 2 in concrete cover is desired- criteria for top slabs.

    Flotation Criteria
    (Structural Design of Covered Risers, SCS TR 30)

    FS=1.5
    Riser Located in ReservoirLow stage inlets plugged Riser Located in Embankment Add buoyant weight of fill over base

    Flotation Criteria
    (Flotation Stability Criteria for Concrete Hydraulic Structures, US Army COE)

    Loading Conditions

    FS

    Construction Normal Operation Extreme (max. pool)

    1.3 1.5 1.1

    Design Loads
    Dead Loads:
    Weight of Concrete Weight of Equipment

    Live Loads:
    Earth and Silt Pressure Water (Hydrostatic Load) Surcharge Cover slab LL=100 psf Wind Load=50 psf, for risers in reservoir only Ice Load (max. 2 thick, 5 kips/sq. ft)
