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.
