I. INTRODUCTION
Storage reservoirs and over head tanks are used to store water, liquid petroleum, petroleum products and similar
liquids. The force analysis of the reservoirs or tanks is about the same irrespective of the chemical nature of the
product. In general there are three kinds of water tanks-tanks resting on ground Underground tanks and elevated
tanks. Here we are studying only the tanks resting on ground like clear water reservoirs, settling tanks, aeration
tanks etc. are supported on ground directly. The wall of these tanks are subjected to pressure and the base is
subjected to weight of Water.
In this paper, both types of reinforced concrete and prestesses concrete water tanks resting on ground monolithic
with the base Are design and their results compared. These tanks are subjected to Same capacity and dimensions.
Also a computer program has been developed for solving numerical examples using IS Code 456-200IS-13431984,IS 3370-Part I,II,III,IV 1965 & IS Code 1343-1980. From the analysis it is conclude that for tank having larger
capacity (greater than 10 lakh liter) prestesses concrete water tank is economical.

Previous Research
From the review of earlier investigations it is found that considerable work has been done on the method of analysis
and design of water tanks.
Tanetal. [1]:- (1993) presented the minimum cost design of reinforced concrete cylindrical water tanks based on the
British Code for water tanks, using a direct search method and the (SUMT). The cost function included the material
costs of concrete and steel only. The tank wall thickness was idealized with piecewise linear slopes with the
maximum thickness at the base.
Thakkar and Sridhar Rao [2] (1974), discussed cost optimization of non cylindrical composite type prestressed
concrete pipes based on the Indian code.
Al-Badri [3] (2005) presented cost optimization of reinforced concrete circular grain silo based on the ACI Code
(2002). He proved that the minimum cost of the silo increases with increasing of the angle of internal friction
between stored materials, the coefficient of friction between stored materials and concrete, and the number of
columns supporting hopper . Al-Badri (2006) presented the minimum cost design of reinforced concrete corbels
based on AC I Code (2002). The cost function included the material costs of concrete, formwork and steel
reinforcement. He proved that the minimum total cost of the corbel increases with the increase of the shear span,
and decreases with the increase of the friction factor for monolithic construction.
Hassan Jasim Mohammed [4] studied the economical design of concrete water Tanks by optimization method. He
applied the optimization technique to the structural design of concrete rectangular and circular water tank,
considering the total cost of the tank as an objective function with the properties of the tank viz. tank capacity, width
and length of the tank, unit weight of water and tank floor slab thickness as design variables. From the study he
concluded that an increased tank capacity leads to increased minimum total cost of the rectangular tank but
decreased minimum total cost for the circular tank. The tank floor slab thickness constitutes the minimum total cost
for two types of tanks. The minimum cost is more sensitive to changes in tank capacity and floor slab thickness of
rectangular tank but in circular type is more sensitive to change in all variables. Increased tank capacity leads to
increase in minimum total cost. Increase in water depth in circular tank leads to increase in minimum total cost.
Abdul-Aziz & A. Rashed [5] rationalized the design procedure for reinforced and prestressed concrete tanks so that
an applicable Canadian design standard could be developed. The study investigates the concept of partial
prestressing in liquid containing structures. The paper also includes experimental and analytical phases of total of
eight full scale specimens, representing segments from typical tank walls, subjected to load and leakage tests. In
analytical study a computer model that can predict the response of tank wall segments is described and calibrated
against the test results. The proposed design procedure addresses the leakage limit state directly. It is applicable for
fully prestressed, fully reinforced and partially prestressed concrete water tanks. The conclusions that are drawn are
as follows: A design method based on limiting the steel stress, does not produce consistent crack or compression zone depths
under the application of prestressing nor under a combination of axial load and moment.
A design method based on providing a residual compressive stress in concrete dose not utilizes non-prestressed
reinforcement effectively.

2/15

Relaxing the residual compressive stress requirement permits a more efficient design. The stresses in nonprestresssed steel are higher, but remain below yield under service load. Therefore, less reinforcement is required.
Load eccentricity significantly affects the behavior of the prestressed concrete sections. The behavior with a small
load eccentricity, less than about half the thickness, the section may be treated as a flexure member.
The ratio of non prestressed steel to prestressed steel in partially prestressed concrete section has a significant
effect on the member serviceability and strength. Choosing the ratio such that both non-prestress and prestressed
steel reach their strength simultaneously utilizes both types of steel at the ultimate limit state effectively.
Increasing the wall thickness is very effective in increasing the capacity of the section and improving its
serviceability by increasing the compression zone depth and reducing the deformations.
Chetan Kumar Gautam [6] Highlights the point named Comparison of Circular Reinforced Concrete and
Prestressed Concrete Underground Shelter. In his paper, design of two types of large circular underground shelters
is presented. The shelters are made of precast concrete sections. Both RC and PSC alternatives are considered in
the design and compared. The shelters are subjected to same type of external loadings and support conditions. The
study conclude that the feasibility of using the vertical casting process of making the modules of shelters as it is
suitable for manufacturing of large diameter pipes. He also suggested that the incorporation of fibers, specially steel
fibers improves a host of properties of concrete, including its crack resistance, flexural strength, ductility, etc. Thus,
the possibility of incorporating fibers in concrete shelter may be explored.
II DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
For R.C.C. water tank
For Prestresed Concrete water tank
For R.C.C Structure
Permissible stresses in concrete
For resistance to cracking:Design of liquid retaining structure is different from R.C.C. structures. As it requires that concrete should not crack
and hence tensile stresses in concrete should be within permissible limit.(i.e. TYPE-I structure).A reinforced
concrete member of liquid retaining structure is design on the usual principle ignoring tensile resistance of concrete
in bending. accordingly it should be ensure that tensile stresses on the liquid retaining face of the equivalent
concrete section dose not exceed the permissible tensile strength of concrete as given in table1.

In strength calculations the permissible Concrete stresses shall be in accordance with Table1. Where the calculated
shear stress in concrete a lone exceeds the permissible value, reinforcement acting in conjunction with diagonal
compression in the concrete shall be provided to take the whole of the shear.
Permissible Stresses In Steel
For resistance to cracking.
When steel and concrete are assumed to act together for checking the tensile stress in concrete for avoidance of
crack, the tensile stress in steel as in table 2will be limited by the requirement that the permissible tensile stress in
the concrete is not exceeded so the tensile stress in steel shall be equal to the product of modular ratio of steel and
concrete, and the corresponding allowable tensile stress in concrete.

In strength calculations the permissible stress shall be as given in table 2.

Tanks:In the construction of concrete structures for the storage of liquids, the imperviousness of concrete is an important
basic requirement. Hence, the design of such construction is based on avoidance of cracking in the concrete. The
structures are prestressed to avoid tension in the concrete. In addition, prestressed concrete tanks require low
maintenance. The resistance to seismic forces is also satisfactory. Prestressed concrete tanks are used in water
treatment and distribution systems, waste water collection and treatment system and storm water management.
Other applications are liquefied natural gas (LNG) containment structures, large industrial process tanks and bulk
storage tanks. Strand Wrapped circular pre-stressed concrete tanks are long life liquid storage structure with
virtually no maintenance. Concrete construction makes for a substantial, sturdy tank structure that easily contain the
internal liquid pressure while comfortably resisting external forces such as earthquake, wind.
Pre-stressed concrete is the most efficient material for water tanks and coupled with the circular shape, eliminates
all stress conditions. By placing the steel of the pre-stressed strands in tension and the concrete in compression,
both materials are in an ideal states and the loads are uniformly distributed around the tank circumference.
Properties
1) Low maintenance can be enjoyed throughout the life as these are built with concrete, durable material that never
corrodes and does not require coatings when in contact with water or the environment.
2) Pre-stressing counteracts the differential temperature and dryness loads that a tank core wall experience. The
tank walls are wet on the inside and dry on outside and the temperature varies between the two sides. If not properly
accounted for, these moisture and temperature differential will cause a tank wall to bend and crack. Counteract
these force in both the vertical and horizontal direction and diminish subsequently the cracking and leaking
3) Tanks are very ductile, enabling to withstand seismic forces and varying water backfill.
4) Tanks utilize material efficiently steel in tension, concrete in compression
5) Pre-cast tanks can store or treat anything from potable water to hazardous waste to solid storage bins.
6)Storage capacities can range from 0.4 to 120 mega liters
7) Diameters of the tank can vary up to 90 m
V Design philosophy
A. Loads: Circumferential prestressing also typically causes vertical bending moment from other loading condition.
B. Freeboard: freeboard should be provided in the tank wals to minimize earthquake- induced hydrodynamic effects
on a flat roof.
C. Wall: The design of the wall should be based on elastic cylindrical shell analysis, considering the effects of

6/15

prestressing, internal loads and other external loads.cast in place concrete walls is usually priestesses
circumferentially with high-strength strand tendons placed in ducts in the wall .the wall may be priestesses with
bonded and unbounded tendons. Vertical prestessed reinforcement near the center of the wall thickness, or vertical
non prestessed reinforcement near each face, may be used. Non priestesses reinforcement may be provided
vertically in conjunction with vertical prestressing.
Precast concrete walls usually consist of precast panels curved to the tank radius with joints between panels filled
with high-strength concrete. the panels are post-tensioned circumferentially by high strength strand tendons. the
tendons maybe embedded within the precast panels or placed on the external surface of the wall and protected by
shortcreat .the wall panels may be prestessesd vertically with pretensioned strands or post-tensioned tendons.non
prestesses reinforcement may be provided vertically with or without vertical prestressing.

Construction Methodology
The construction of the tanks is in the following sequence. First, the concrete core is cast and cured. The surface is
prepared by sand or hydro blasting. Next, the circumferential prestressing is applied by strand wrapping machine.
Shotcrete is applied to provide a coat of concrete over the prestressing strands. A few photographs are provided for
illustration.
IS: 3370 (Code of Practice for Concrete Structures for the Storage of Liquids) provides guidelines for the analysis
and design of liquid storage tanks. The four sections of the code are titled as follows.
Part 1: General Requirement
Part 2: Reinforced Concrete Structures
Part 3: Prestressed Concrete Structures
Part 4: Design Tables
The following types of boundary conditions are considered in the analysis of the cylindrical wall.
a) For base: fixed or hinged
b) For top: free or hinged or framed.
1)For base
Fixed: When the wall is built continuous with its footing, then the base can be considered to be fixed as the first
approximation.

7/15

Hinged: If the sub grade is susceptible to settlement, then a hinged base is a conservative assumption. Since the
actual rotational restraint from the footing is somewhere in between fixed and hinged, a hinged base can be
assumed. The base can be made sliding with appropriate polyvinyl chloride (PVC) water-stops for liquid tightness.

2) For top
Free: The top of the wall is considered free when there is no restraint in expansion.
Hinged: When the top is connected to the roof slab by dowels for shear transfer, the boundary condition is
considered to be hinged.
The hydrostatic pressure on the wall increases linearly from the top to the bottom of the liquid of maximum possible
depth. If the vapour pressure in the free board is negligible, then the pressure at the top is zero. Else, it is added to
the pressure of the liquid throughout the depth. The forces generated in the tank due to circumferential prestress are
opposite in nature to that due to hydrostatic pressure. If the tank is built underground, then the earth pressure needs
to be considered.
The hoop tension in the wall, generated due to a triangular hydrostatic pressure is given as T = CTw H Ri
The bending moment in the vertical direction is given as
M = CMwH3

8/15

The shear at the base is given by the expression V = CVw H


Where,
CT = coefficient for hoop tension
CM = coefficient for bending moment
CV = coefficient for shear
w = unit weight of liquid
H = height of the liquid
Ri = inner radius of the wall.
The values of the coefficients are tabulated in IS:3370 1967, Part 4, for various values of H2/Dt, at different depths
of the liquid. D and t represent the inner diameter and the thickness of the wall, respectively. The typical variations of
CT and CM with depth, for two sets of boundary conditions are illustrated. The roof can be made of a dome
supported at the edges on the cylindrical wall. Else, the roof can be a flat slab supported on columns along with the
edges. IS:3370 1967, Part 4, provides coefficients for the analysis of the floor and roof slabs.

Comparison of R.C.C. water tank and Prestrssed water tank


The tanks to be consider having some common data such as the tanks are having same capacity, same diameter,
same height, same grade of concrete i. e. (M40) & (M50), the thickness of tank floor should be taken either 150mm
or equal to the wall thickness(if greater than 150mm) for RCC water tank and minimum thickness for priestesses
concrete water tank is 120mm.We consider tank capacity for both the cases (i.e. RCC & Priestesses) reimaging
from 1000 m3 to 9000 m3. for both the grade of concrete i.e. (M40 & M50). The result so obtained as given in

The aim of this paper is to compare the cost of R.C.C. water tanks resting over firm ground with the cost of
Prestressed concrete water tanks. In India at least, most of the small & medium sized water tanks are constructed in
RCC. Senior engineers and those in the know maintain that prestressed concrete water tanks are not worth trying
for smaller capacities. Besides cost, other reason may be that prestressed concrete construction involves skilled
labor & supervision. Furthermore, prestressing is a closely guarded technology in this country & information is not
available that easily.
There is no clear-cut definition of Medium Size. The thumb rule passed on in the field from one generation of
engineers to the next, fixes a value around 10 lac liters. Therefore, this study encompasses tanks from 10 lac liter
capacity to 90 lac liter capacity. A couple of cases of both varieties were designed manually. Design & Estimation
programs were developed in MS EXCEL for both RCC & Prestressed concrete. The programs were finalized after a

13/15

number of trial runs & corrections.


Results obtained are compiled in figures numbered 1 to 5 & Table numbered 3. D/H ratio for all the tanks is
maintained at 4 based on the recommendations of the Preload Engineering Company of the US, a world leader in
the field of prestressed concrete water tanks. It should be noted that an increase in tank wall thickness results in
decreased flexural steel in case of RCC. However, in case of prestressed concrete, an increased thickness leads to
a greater prestressing force & consequently more prestressing steel. Thus, increased thickness leads to increased
cost in case of prestressed concrete.
Table3 presents the total cost of each tank along with the % difference. + means costlier prestressing & - means
cheaper prestressing. As the tank capacity increases, the cost of tank increases. But the concept of economics of
scale holds good i.e. the cost of a tank of 20 lac liter capacity is less than double the cost of a tank of 10 lac liter
capacity. Similarly, the cost of a tank of 90 lac liter capacity is less than 9 times the cost of a tank of 10 lac liter
capacity. It can be clearly established that the grade of concrete hardly makes any difference in the costing.
Because of its nature, the water tank design is never an impending or boundary line design. The factor of safety is
high & the actual stresses are much lower than the permissible ones. An increased permissible stress for a higher
grade of concrete hardly makes any difference to the final outcome.
Finally, a study of the same Table3 confirms that the RCC tank is cheaper only for 10 lac liter capacity. For higher
capacities, prestress concrete tank is always cheaper by @ (20 +/- 5) %. This is because the thickness of an RCC
tank increases many-folds for higher capacities. Thickness in fact seems to be an important criterion even for
prestressed tanks. An increased thickness leads to an increased prestressing force. More steel is required to
generate this higher prestressing force resulting in higher cost.
CONCLUSION
RCC tanks are cheaper only for smaller capacities up to 10-12 lac liters. For bigger tanks, Prestressing is the
superior choice resulting in a saving of @ 20%.
