ABSTRACT

In India, the rural population accounts for more than 68 percent of the overall population. The lack of a domestic
water tank is a serious issue in this location. To overcome this challenge, novel design and solutions to existing
problems are required, which is why an elevated storage tank research is being conducted. The purpose of this
article is to investigate the design of an RCC overhead tank, and the analysis is carried out using STAAD PRO
software.

With reference to IS 3370: 2021, this project summarizes the philosophy underlying the construction of liquid
retaining structures utilizing the limit state technique. Water tanks are commonly used for water storage. Water
storage is critical since it is used so frequently in daily living.

Keywords – STAAD PRO, Analysis and design, Water tank, IS Code – 3370.

I. INTRODUCTION

Water tanks are storage containers that are used to store water for everyday use. Water for human consumption is
frequently stored in these tanks. Water tanks are used to store drinking water, irrigation water, agricultural water, and fire
water, among other things.

The major goals of water tank design are to offer safe drinkable water over a lengthy period of storage while also
maximizing cost strength, service life, and performance.

Tamgaon village, Karveer Taluka, Kolhapur district, is the suggested location for our project. Our location is located in an
area with ideal natural conditions for the building of an elevated overhead tank. This place is one of the emerging areas
that has had a fast population rise in recent years. We chose an elevated water tank among the three primary types of
water tanks since the area requires pressured water. The many types of water tanks are as follows:

 Underground water tank

 Resting on ground
 Overhead / Elevated water tank

Rectangular tanks, circular tanks, and intz type tanks, i. e. overhead service reservoir OHSR, can be categorized as tanks in
terms of design. Rectangular tanks are used for lesser volumes. For big capacity, they become uneconomical. Up to
7,50,000 liters of water can be stored in circular overhead tanks. The design method of water tanks are three,

 Working stress method

 Ultimate load method
 Limit state method

The working stress technique of design, which was popular in the past, has a number of drawbacks. Working stress
approach can be used as an alternative to the limit state method in cases when it is not practical to use. The limit state
approach is likely to totally replace the working stress method in the near future. As to cl. 18.2 of IS 456:2000, the designer
still has the option of selecting the design technique.

The limit state design method, which IS 3370:2009 adopted, has the following advantages: limit state design method
considers materials according to their properties, treats loads according to their nature, structures fail mostly in limit state
and not in elastic state, and limit state method also checks for serviceability.

IV. LITERATURE REVIEW

Jindal Bharat Bhushan, Singhal Dhirendra –

R.V.R. Prasad and Akshaya B. Kamdi (2012) – Water is stored in above water tanks. BIS published the new version of
3370 (parts 1&2) in 2009, after a long hiatus from the 1965 original. This new code mostly applies to liquid storage tanks.
The limit state approach is employed in this revision. The LSM approach is the most cost-effective way to design a water
tank since the amount of material required is less than using the WSM method.

Hasan Jasim Mohammed (2011) – The use of an optimization approach to the structural design of concrete rectangular
and circular water tanks was investigated, with the total cost as an objective function and tank parameters such as tank
capacity, breadth, diameter, depth, and floor thickness being considered.

Novendra Kumar Verma, Kaushal Kumar Jetty, Lokesh Bhai Patel, Dr. G.P. Khare, Mr. Dushyant kumar Sahu – A
prestressed concrete water tank laying on the ground was studied for its economic analysis and design. Two tanks will
have the same capacity and be made of M20 concrete. One of the project's goals is to conduct an economic analysis and
design of both tanks that will be placed on the ground. RCC circular water tanks are thicker and more expensive than
prestressed concrete circular water tanks. As a result of these findings, a prestressed concrete circular water tank is cost-
effective to construct.

Ms. Pranjali N Dhage, Mr. Mandar M. Joshi – In these cases, a review research on the dynamic analysis of an RCC
raised water tank was conducted. Elevated water tanks are vital and strategic buildings, and damage to them during
earthquakes might result in hazardous drinking water, a failure to avoid catastrophic fires, and significant economic loss.
During previous earthquakes, a substantial number of above water tanks were destroyed. As a result, during earthquakes,
the seismic behaviour of these structures must be thoroughly examined in order to satisfy the safety objectives while
keeping construction and maintenance costs to a minimum. As a result, there is a need to concentrate on the seismic safety
of lifeline structures employing alternate supporting systems that are safe during earthquakes and can also withstand
higher design stresses.

IX. CONCLUSION
The limit state approach was determined to be the most cost-effective for designing liquid retaining structures since it
requires less steel and concrete than the limit state method.

Water tank design is a time-consuming process. It entails a lot of mathematical equations and calculations, and it takes a
long time. As a result, STAAD PRO software provides a solution to the aforementioned issue.

Our construction is safe after STAAD Pro examination.
