How to Design Complex Reinforce Concrete Water Stand in Tekla Structure
Concrete water tanks have thick cement concrete walls, which will absorb heat from water thereby reducing its temperature. ... It is to be remembered that water tank is subjected to pressures on the walls and heavy weight on the base slab.
Types of water tanks
Based on water tank location, Base on water tank shape
Underground tanks Rectangular tank
Tank resting on grounds Circular tank
Overhead tanks* Spherical tan
Concrete water tanks and ferro-cement water tanks are generally strong and long-lasting. They are very heavy, and difficult to handle. 5000G tank would weigh about 8 tonnes. Concrete water tanks are most often installed underground however smaller tanks are available for above ground.
In this lesson we will consider concrete tank install above, carry by a single Column. We will explain step by step procedure to design this complex tank in Tekla Structure.
