The document provides design guidelines for walls of liquid retaining structures where L/B >2. 1) Such long walls should be designed as fully cantilevered walls with fixed bases for their entire lengths. 2) As the walls are relatively thick, thin plate theory may not provide accurate results, so the long walls should be designed as free cantilevers with fixed bases, using horizontal bending forces at junctions. 3) Wall and base junctions should be designed for continuity of stresses and moments per IS 3370 Part 2.

The following points are noted

1) For walls L/B >2, walls such as W1,W2 W3 etc are to be designed as fully

Cantilever with fixed base and one configuration for entire length

Refer

a) See reference no 7 in design report referred by R.D.Anchor, design of

Reservoir 32mx21mx6.5m height

b) Advanced Reinforced Concrete Design by PC Verghese page no 448 when

long wall L/B>2 IS Taken as cantilever fixed at base

The inner walls where L/B<2 ,moment coefficient may be used for design

2) As the walls are comparatively thick relative to height,the assumption of thin

plate theory of uniform thickness may not provide desired results.Hence as a

Good engineering practice all the long walls is preferable to design as free

Cantilever with fixed base and horizontal bending forces may be adopted for

Continuity at junctions as indicated in all references

M=wh^3/6

T=wh^2/2

Wall & base junction to have same thickness for continuity

3) As noted in clause 4.2 IS 3370 PART 2-2009


a) The junctions between various members(between wall

and floor) intended to be constructed as rigid should

be designed accordingly and effect of continuity should

be accounted in design and detailing of each member.

b) On liquid retaining faces, the tensile stresses due to the combination of direct

Horizontal tension and bending action shall satisfy the following

condition:(cte/cet)+(bem/bec)<1

Where

CTe( =calculated direct tensile stress in concrete.

Cet = permissible direct tensile stress in concrete (seeTable I).

BeM' =calculated tensile stress due to bending in concrete. and

Bec =permissible tensile stress due to bending in concrete (see Table I).

c) The walls thus act as thin plates subject to triangular

Loading and with boundary conditions varying between

full restraint and free edge. The analysis of moment

and forces may be made on the basis of any recognized

method. However. moment coefficients, for boundary

conditions of wall panels for some common cases are given in IS 3370-PART4

for general guidance


Uniform base uniform contact surface practically difficult to achieve

good with tapering outside contact surface tapered

ok not desirable

4) WALL footings to have uniform contact surface with ground for distribution of

forces effectively for base width portion as shown above. Tapering bases is

difficult to achieve at site with compacted surface and any settlement or cracks at

later date is difficult to rectify. Kindly review


5) Adequacy of grade slab 200mm thick for uplift forces 3.15t/m2 during saturation

of ground Is to be checked and safety against uplift when tank is empty to be

checked

3.15 t/m2 uplift

6) Walls and base slab to be checked for seismic forces and hydrodynamic effect as per

draft code IS 1893 PART 2
