Step 1: Dimensioning of tank:
Dimensioning of tank is done in such a way that it fulfils the capacity criteria.
You can use only pressed plate of size 1.25X1.25 m, so length breadth and height should (n
X1.25m )where n is no. Of plate.
Commonly two cases arises:
1. 2,5,5 plates along HLB respectively
2. 2,6,6 plates along HLB respectively
Thickness of plate of tank may be either 5mm or 6mm depending on height of tank and tier
(For 2 plate one can say that bottom layer of plate is bottom tier and other will be top tier)
From IS 804:1967 clause : 6.3 and table 5, thickness of plates can be taken
As it is known that water will exerts the force in outside direction so it may be counteract by
providing stay inside the tank.

#Force In stay#
Calculation:
Above figure shows pressure distribution diagram;
Pressure on each unit of plate for 1.25m width:
At 1.25m below top = 9.81X1.25X1.25 = 15.328kN/m2
At 2.50m below top = 9.81X2.50X1.25 = 30.656kN/m2
Reaction:
For top plate-
P1= area of top pressure distribution diagram = .5X15.328X1.25= 9.58kN
Referring to diagram
R1X 1.25= 9.58X 1.25/2
R1= 3.19kN
R1= 9.58-3.19 = 6.39kN

R2 X1.25= 28.74X0.556
R2=12.78kN
Force in stay:
See the diagram
F1cos45 = 3.19
So F1= 4.512Kn
F2cos45= 19.17kN
F2= 27.11kN
Design of stay
Provide 30mm wide X 6mm thick mild steel flats for top stay.
60mm wide X 6mm thick flat
Again loading
Loading:
Design:
Determine from above analysis maximum Moment.
These beams are laterally unsupported and take effective length =4X1.25 = 5m
For trial section assume b= 165N/mm2
Calculate Z =(M/b)
Provide any I section
Determine its all property from steel table
Cross beams are provides under longitudinal beams hence it carrys all the reaction forces
due to longitudinal beam.
R1=R7; R2=R6; R3=R5; R4 ... These all are calculated in previous steps.
Calculate moment and reaction
Design the beam by using same method as discussed in previous step.
