Water Retaining Structure

Analysis and Design


Based on Eurocode Standards
EN 1992-3, EN 1991, EN 1997
Introduction
• Water retaining structures are designed to
safely store liquids and prevent leakage.
Eurocodes provide comprehensive guidelines
for their structural analysis and design,
ensuring safety and durability.
Relevant Eurocodes
• 1. EN 1992-3: Liquid Retaining and
Containment Structures
• 2. EN 1991: Actions on Structures (Loads)
• 3. EN 1997: Geotechnical Design
• 4. EN 206: Concrete Specification,
Performance, and Production
Key Design Considerations
• - Ultimate Limit State (ULS) and Serviceability
Limit State (SLS)
• - Crack width control (typically ≤ 0.2 mm)
• - Hydrostatic and uplift pressure analysis
• - Durability in aggressive environments
Load Analysis (EN 1991)
• - Self-weight of structure
• - Hydrostatic pressure from stored liquid
• - Uplift pressure from groundwater
• - Environmental actions (wind, temperature)
Crack Control and Durability (EN
1992-3)
• - Crack width limitation: ≤ 0.2 mm for water
tightness
• - Use of high-quality concrete and proper
reinforcement
• - Adequate concrete cover to prevent
corrosion
• - Consideration of thermal and shrinkage
effects
Geotechnical Design (EN 1997)
• - Site investigation and soil testing
• - Bearing capacity analysis
• - Uplift resistance against groundwater
• - Foundation design to prevent settlement
Conclusion
• Eurocode standards ensure the safe and
durable design of water retaining structures.
Proper load analysis, crack control, and
foundation design are crucial to prevent
leakage and structural failure.
