Form active structure systems utilize curved structures like arches to carry loads across gaps primarily through compression. Arches distribute loads through their curved shape, reducing stresses compared to rigid connections. Key factors in arch design include the rise-to-span ratio to minimize thrust, and the shape which affects cost, stresses, and load distribution. Arches can fail through rotation, sliding at supports, or crushing under high compression, and are reinforced or redesigned to address failure modes. Early arched structures gained stability through added weight and convenient construction shapes, while Gothic cathedrals demonstrated advanced vaulting techniques.

The document outlines different types of space frame configurations based on curvature and number of grid layers, and discusses their properties, design, construction, and historical development.
Economic Design of Water Tank of Different Shapes With Reference To IS: 3370 ...IJMER
The conventional method of designing water tanks which is working stress method
outlined in the previous version of IS: 3370 1965 is irrational and leads to relatively thicker sections
with a substantial amount of reinforcement. Limit state method which is widely used has been recently
adopted in the new version of IS 3370-2009 concrete structures for storage of liquids – code of
practice. For quick cost prediction of tanks, this study therefore examines the cost effectiveness in terms
of amount of materials and formwork used for Circular, Square and Rectangular overhead water tanks
each of three capacities of 100kl, 150kl, 200kl and draw reasonable inferences on tank’s shape design
effectiveness . Each water tank was designed by Limit State method and then the crack width was
checked by limit state of serviceability IS 3370 (2009). The results have been presented in the form of
graphs and tables and it has been observed that Circular-shaped tank consumed lesser of each
material as compared to Square and Rectangular ones. The amount of formwork required for circular
tank is also less than that for square and rectangular tanks thereby giving Circular-shaped tanks a
more favorable selection over the rectangular and square shaped tanks
Experimental and FE Analysis of Funicular ShellsHARISH B A
Shells belong to the class of stressed skin
structures which, because of their geometry and small
flexural rigidity, tend to carry loads primarily by direct
stresses acting in their plane. Concrete funicular shells of
square ground plan, double curvature with 80 mm rise are
analysed for uniformly distributed load (One-way action).
Specimens of size 1080 mm x 1080 mm in plan with
rectangular edge beam of 50 mm x 40 mm are prepared
using cement concrete of grade M20 for which the mix
design is carried by Indian Standard method. The
precasting of the Concrete shallow funicular shell
specimens is carried by masonry mould method. The
specimens are prepared with thickness of 25 mm and 20
mm. The specimens are moist cured for 28 days before
testing. The uniformly distributed load over the shell
specimen is applied and the corresponding deflections,
strains are measured. The coordinates of funicular shells
are determined by developing a computer program. To
relate experimental results to theory, the finite element
technique (SAP 2000 Program) is utilized to analyse a
similar model in the elastic range. Finite element models
of funicular shells are developed by discretizing the shell
specimens into 20 elements along x direction and 20
elements along y direction. Behaviour of funicular shells
under uniformly distributed load is carried out.
Conclusions are made by comparing the experimental and
analytical results.

3. Results from photoelastic experiments matched well with finite element analysis simulations. The experimental method provided precise stress values regardless of geometric complexity, while finite element analysis was less time consuming and helped optimize the stress reliever geometry.
Dynamic analysis of a reinforced concrete horizontal curved beam using softwareeSAT Journals
Abstract
Dynamic analysis of a reinforced concrete beam bridge, horizontally curved in plan is done using a finite element software. The
support conditions considered are simple supports. Dynamic loading in the form of moving vehicular load is taken into account
for the purpose of analysis. IRC Class AA type of vehicle is simulated on two lanes on the beam of span 31m, having a box type
cross-section. A parametric study is done varying the radius of curvature of the beam from 50 m to 250 m with the interval of 50
m to check the behavior of the beam. Various responses of the beam like bending moment, shear force, torsional moment and
deflection are calculated. The influence of a non-dimensional parameter L/R i.e. ratio of length of the beam to radius of curvature
of the beam is verified for the responses of the beam. From the results, it has been found that the responses i.e. the bending
moment, shear force, torsional moment and deflection of the beam decrease as the radius of curvature of the beam in increased.
Also, the responses of the beam increase as the L/R ratio is increased.

Free vibrational analysis of curved beam with uniform rectangular cross sectioneSAT Journals
Abstract
Curved beams are plays an important role in different field like house roofing, bridges, cranes, automobiles chasses etc. The study
deals with the investigation of free vibrations of thick curved beams of SS316 and MS1018, both experimentally and using ANSYS.
The curved beams having different R/t ratio were fabricated by using mild steel material. Three different boundary conditions are
imposed for curved beams are as follows; free-free, clamped-free, clamped-clamped. For experimental investigation, magnetic
transducer and VIBXpert are used to conduct experiment on different curved beams. The present work also aims at developing a
numerical model for comparing ANSYS results with experimental results to analyze the frequencies and mode shapes
corresponding to three different boundary conditions. The curved beam were modelled, meshed and analyzed using ANSYS. The
first ten natural frequencies from finite element solutions are then compared with the experimental results. These effects also
become more significant for higher modes. It is also observed that the finite element solutions are closely in agreement with
experimental results.

Fe investigation of semi circular curved beam subjected to out-of-plane loadeSAT Journals
Abstract Curved beams are used as machine or structural members in many applications. Based on application of load they can be classified into two categories. Curved beams subjected to In-Plane loads are more familiar and are used for crane hooks, C-clamps etc. The other categories of curved beams are the ones that are subjected to out-of-plane loads. They find applications in automobile universal joints, raider arms and many civil structures etc.The results of this research on semicircular curved beam subjected to out-of-plane loads have revealed some interesting results. For semicircular curved beams subjected to out-of-plane loads, it is shown that every section is subjected to a combination of transverse shear force, bending moment and twisting moment. By using ANSYS tool it is shown that Maximum principal stress occurs at section 120 degrees from the section containing the loading line. Moreover it is observed that fixed end of this curved beam is subjected to a state of pure shear. Key Words: Semi circular curved beam, Stress in curved beam, Out-of-plane load, FE analysis.
1) The document presents a numerical study on stress analysis of curved beams using ANSYS software.
2) Geometric models of quarter circle, semi-circle, three-quarter circle and full circle beams were created and analyzed under different loads.
3) The results show that maximum stresses developed in the semi-circle beam under the same loading conditions as other curved beams. Stress values increased with load and were highest for the full circle beam.

To study the stress pattern of crane hook in its loaded condition, a solid model of crane hook is prepared with the help of CATIA (Computer Aided Three Dimensional Interactive Application) software. Pattern of stress distribution in 3D model of crane hook is obtained using ANSYS software. The stress distribution pattern is verified for its correctness on model of crane hook using Winkler-Bach theory for curved beams. The complete study is an initiative to establish an ANSYS based Finite Element procedure, by validating the results, for the measurement of stress with Winkler-Bach theory for curved beams. Keywords: Crane Hook, CATIA, ANSYS, Curved Beam, Stress, Winkler-Bach Theory
This document discusses curved beams and provides equations for calculating stresses in curved beams. It begins by stating that beam theory can be applied to curved beams to determine stresses in shapes like crane hooks. It provides symbols for variables used in the equations. The main differences between straight and curved beams are that the neutral axis and centroid axis do not coincide for curved beams. Equations are provided to calculate strain and stress at different radii along the curved beam based on the eccentricity between the neutral and centroid axes. An example calculation for a crane hook is also shown.
This document provides an overview of chapter 3 from a textbook on load and stress analysis.

The document compares the design of an Intze tank using membrane design and continuity analysis methods. Membrane design involves analyzing structural elements independently and designing for direct stresses only. Continuity analysis considers restraint at joints, resulting in secondary stresses from edge moments and varying hoop stresses. For a 9 lakh liter and 6 lakh liter tank, continuity analysis yields higher hoop forces, bending moments, and reinforcement areas compared to membrane design.
In this you will find some of the basic thing regarding the elevated water tank and this is our one of the team project work in college. Hope you will enjoy it....

Project ppt on earthquake resistant building structureSambhavJain168
This document presents research on earthquake resistant building design using base isolation. It discusses how base isolation systems work to reduce seismic demand on structures by separating the superstructure from the substructure. The document outlines the objectives, literature review, code-based analysis process, experimental investigation and results. The results show that using laminated rubber bearings for base isolation can significantly reduce base shear and structural drift compared to fixed-base structures. Therefore, base isolation is concluded to be an effective seismic control method.

IRJET- Analysis of Steel Silos Subjected to Wind Load with Various Slendernes...IRJET Journal
This document analyzes the structural behavior of circular thin-walled steel silos subjected to wind load with various slenderness ratios. Three finite element models of steel silos were created in SAP2000 with different height-to-diameter ratios (slenderness ratios): slender (4.2), intermediate (2.46), and squat (1.6). The models were analyzed under empty and full conditions to determine shell stresses and deformations. Results showed that deformation was highest for the slender silo when empty, but hoop stresses were highest for the squat silo when full. The analysis provides useful information for designing steel silos to withstand wind loads.
The document summarizes various reinforced concrete structural elements used in building construction, including:
1. Columns, beams, slabs, staircases, lintels, chhajjas (eaves), canopies, and coffer slabs are discussed. Columns transfer loads from above to the foundation. Beams provide horizontal load resistance and resist bending. Slabs are floor and ceiling elements supported by columns and beams.
2. Staircases can be made of reinforced concrete and come in different arrangements like straight flights or landings. Lintels support walls above openings. Chhajjas project from walls to provide shade. Canopies provide shelter from weather. Coffer slabs have sunken, decorated
Flat slabs were originally invented in the U.S. in 1906 and load tested between 1910-1920. They are reinforced concrete slabs supported by columns without beams. Flat slabs offer advantages like reduced construction costs, faster construction, and greater architectural freedom. They are classified as solid flat slab, solid flat slab with drop panels, solid flat slab with column heads, or banded flat slab. Analysis and design of flat slabs involves distributing moments from equivalent frame analysis to slab components and checking shear and punching resistance.

Reinforced cement concrete (RCC) is a composite material made of cement concrete reinforced with steel bars. Some key points:
- François Coignet built the first reinforced concrete structure, a four story house in Paris in 1853.
- RCC is used in the construction of columns, beams, footings, slabs, dams, water tanks, tunnels, bridges, walls and towers due to its high strength and durability.
- The steel reinforcement provides tensile strength, while the concrete primarily resists compressive forces and protects the steel from corrosion. Together they form a very strong, stable structural material.

1. The document discusses using an X-shaped shear reinforcement and stirrups in ferrocement beams and columns instead of the typical rectangular shape.
2. This modification is proposed to increase the load carrying capacity and improve earthquake performance by adding truss action in beams and a tower/space truss action in columns.
3. Welded mesh around the perimeter is also suggested to prevent concrete splitting and keep the concrete in place.
F.E.M ANALYSIS OF ANNULAR MAT FOUNDATION WITH & WITHOUT ANNULAR BEAMIRJET Journal
This document presents a finite element analysis of different annular mat foundation systems for elevated water tanks. It analyzes and compares three cases: 1) an annular mat foundation with an annular ring beam, 2) an annular mat foundation without a ring beam, and 3) a circular solid raft foundation. The analysis is conducted using STAAD Pro software to determine factors like base pressure, bending moments, shear forces, and deflections. It finds that incorporating an annular ring beam can reduce bending moments in the mat by up to 30% and reduce the required steel by 10%. Incorporating the ring beam also provides a 12-18% savings in construction costs compared to an annular mat without a beam.
Bridge bearings allow for controlled movement between the bridge deck and piers/substructure. The earliest bearings were metal sliding or roller bearings, while modern bridges primarily use elastomeric bearings made of rubber. Elastomeric bearings are advantageous as they require little maintenance, easily accommodate multi-directional movement, are inexpensive, and can absorb vibrations. Proper selection and design of bearings is important for transferring loads while preventing excessive stresses in the bridge structure from temperature changes, traffic, or seismic activity.
Design , Analysis and Optimization of Intze Type Water Tank With Sloshing EffectIRJET Journal
This document describes a study on the design, analysis and optimization of an Intze type water tank considering sloshing effects. The study involves designing a circular water tank with a capacity of 300,000 liters and height of 12 meters using design specifications from Indian codes. A 3D model of the tank is created in ANSYS and analyzed using structural and modal analysis to understand stresses and natural frequencies. The results show maximum von mises stresses of 1.61 N/mm2, which is within permissible limits. The natural frequencies help identify ranges requiring additional damping or strength. The study aims to optimize the tank design to minimize stresses and cracking considering seismic loads and sloshing effects.
Stress ribbon bridges are tension structures similar to suspension bridges. They transmit loads via tension in the deck to anchored abutments. Unlike simple spans, the ribbon is stressed in compression, adding stiffness. The first was built in Switzerland in the 1960s. They consist of precast concrete planks supported by bearing tendons and separate prestressing tendons to create the catenary shape. Stress ribbon bridges are economical, aesthetic, and require minimal maintenance.

CTO Insights: Steering a High-Stakes Database MigrationScyllaDB
In migrating a massive, business-critical database, the Chief Technology Officer's (CTO) perspective is crucial. This endeavor requires meticulous planning, risk assessment, and a structured approach to ensure minimal disruption and maximum data integrity during the transition. The CTO's role involves overseeing technical strategies, evaluating the impact on operations, ensuring data security, and coordinating with relevant teams to execute a seamless migration while mitigating potential risks. The focus is on maintaining continuity, optimising performance, and safeguarding the business's essential data throughout the migration process
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMsSease
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

EFFECT OF REVISION OF IS 3370 ON WATER STORAGE
TANK
*Prof.R.V.R.K.Prasad ,**Akshaya B.Kamdi
*( K.D.K.College of Enggineering , Nagpur university)
ABSTRACT
Storage overhead tank are used to store
water. BIS has brought out the revised version
of IS 3370 ( part 1& 2) after a long time from its
1965 version in year 2009. This revised code is
mainly drafted for water tank. In this revision
important is that limit state method is
incorporated in design. This paper gives in
brief, the theory behind the design of circular
water tank using working stress method and
limit state method. In the end comparative
result of IS 3370 (1965) and IS 3370 (2009) is
given.
1 . INTRODUCTION
As per Greek philosopher Thales ,” water
is source of every creation.” In day to day life one
can not live without water. Therefore water needs
to be stored for daily used. Overhead water tank is
the most effective storing facility used for domestic
or even industrial purpose.
Depending upon the location of the tank the tanks
can be name as overhead ,on ground and
underground. The tanks can be made in different
shapes usually circular and rectangular shapes are
mostly used. The tanks can be made of RCC or
even of steel. The overhead tanks are usually
elevated from the roof top through the column. In
most cases underground and on ground tanks are
circular or rectangular in shape but the shape of the
overhead tanks are influenced by the aesthetic view
in surroundings and as well as the design of the
construction. Steel tanks are also used specially in
railway yards. Storage reservoirs and overhead
tank are used to store water, liquid petroleum,
petroleum products and similar liquids. Reservoir is
a common term applied to liquid storage structure
and it can be below or above the ground level.
Reservoirs below the ground level are normally
built to store large quantities of water. The
overhead tanks are supported by column which act
as stage. This Overhead type are built for direct
distribution by gravity flow and are usually of
smaller capacity. After a long time IS 3370 is
revised from its 1965 version. In this revision
introduction of limit state design is the most
important addition.
2 . DESIGN REQUIREMENT OF
CONCRETE (I. S. I)
In water retaining structure a dense
impermeable concrete is required therefore,
proportion of fine and course aggregates to cement
should be such as to give high quality concrete.
Concrete mix weaker than M20 is not used. The
minimum quantity of cement in the concrete mix
shall be not less than 30 kN/m3
.The design of the
concrete mix shall be such that the resultant
concrete is subjected to efficiently impervious.
Efficient compaction preferably by vibration is
essential. The permeability of the thoroughly
compacted concrete is dependent on water cement
ratio. Increase in water cement ratio increases
permeability, while concrete with low water
cement ratio is difficult to compact. Other causes of
leakage in concrete are defects such as segregation
and honey combing.
3. PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
To model any structure the main aim is to
achieve the economy. Material saving results in
saving in construction cost. However
circularcylindrical tanks are more numerous than
any other type because they are simple in design
and can be easily constructed .
In present work total focus is given on preliminary
analysis and design of Circular Cylindrical water
tank by IS 3370: (1965) & IS 3370 :(2009) . The
grade of Concrete used is M30 and grade of Steel
used is Fe 415.The permissible concrete stresses in
calculation relating to resistance to cracking (for
direct tension) is 1.5 N/ mm2
The value of
permissible stress in Steel (in direct tension
,bending and shear) in IS 3370:(1965) σst is 150
N/mm2
and in IS 3370:(2009) σst is 130 N/mm2
.
The permissible concrete stresses in calculation
relating to resistance to cracking for shear is 2.2
N/mm2
The cylindrical water tank is basically
divided in two parts; first is wall and base slab.
Wall is design for maximum Hoop tension and
maximum Bending moment and checked for
bending tensile stress which govern the thickness
of wall .Base slab is design for maximum bending
moment and also checked for permissible tensile
stress in concrete to make the tank leak proof.

4. ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF
CONTAINER WALL
4.1. Method of Analysis of Cylindrical wall
Following method are available for analysis of
circular tank.
1. Reissner’s method
2. Carpenter’s method
3. Approximate method
4. I.S. code method
4.2. Design of cylindrical wall
While designing walls of cylindrical tanks the
following points should be born in mind
(a) Wall of cylindrical tanks are either cast
monolithically with the base or set in grooves and
key ways. In either case deformation of wall under
influence of liquid pressure is restricted at end
above the base. Consequently, only part of
triangular hydrostatic load will be carried by ring
tension and part of the load at bottom will be
supported by cantilever action
(b) It is difficult to restrict rotation or settlement of
base slab and it is advisable to provide vertical
reinforcement as if the wall were fully fixed at the
base, in addition to the reinforcement required to
resist horizontal ring tension for hinge at base ,
conditions of walls, unless the appropriate amount
of fixity at the base is established by analysis with
due consideration to the dimension of base slab the
type of joint between the wall and slab and where
applicable the type of soil supporting the base slab.
5. ALYSIS AND DESIGN OF BASE SLAB
5.1 Analysis of base slab
When the circular tanks are elevated and
supported, the analysis and design of base slab
depend upon the manner in which it is supported if
the supporting tower consisting of columns placed
below the tank walls, usually no separate curved
beam is required over the column to support the
tank. The tank wall itself act as a curved beam, as
the depth of this beam is large only a few steel bar
at its bottom and top is all that is required as a
reinforcement for the beam section.
The base slab should however be suitably tied to
the walls by the vertical rods embedded properly in
the slab and the wall. When the flexible joint is
provided between the wall and slab, a separate
circular beam is required below the slab.
5.2 Design of base base
If the bottom of a circular tank is
supported around its periphery, it can be designed
as a circular slab simply supported at edges.
Although circular slab are not so commonly used in
building but they have wide application in water
tanks. In applying this theory to R.C. slab poisson’s
ratio may be taken to zero. This slab when loaded
deflected in form of a saucer and develops radial as
well as circumferential stress. The convex face of
slab has tensile stress and concave face of slab
compressive stress. Hence R/F should be placed on
the concave face near the surface to be more
effective. The best form of R/F will be radial and
circumferential to safe-guard the slab against
circular and radial crack respectively. An
alternative arrangement in form of mesh such that
the intensity of reinforcement in either direction of
the mesh is as required for the bigger of the radial
and circumferential stresses. The radial and
circumferential system of reinforcement become
essential near the periphery of the slab if the
stresses there are not negligible or if the slab is
fixed at edges.
6. ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF TOP
DOME
A dome may be defined as a thin shell
generated by the revolution of a regular curve about
one of its axes. The shape of the dome depends on
the type of the curve and the direction of the axis of
revolution. In spherical and conoidal domes,
surface is described by revolving an arc of a circle.
The centre of the circle may be on the axis of
rotation (spherical dome) or outside the axis
(conoidal dome). Both types may or may not have
a symmetrical lantern opening through the top. The
edge of the shell around its base is usually provided
with edge member cast integrally with the shell.
Domes are used in variety of structures, as in the
roof of circular areas, in circular tanks, in hangers,
exhibition halls, auditoriums, planetorium and
bottom of tanks, bins and bunkers. Domes may be
constructed of masonry, steel, timber and
reinforced concrete. However, reinforced domes
are more common nowadays since they can be
constructed over large spans.
6.1. Analysis of top dome
Stresses to be considered in dome are
Meridional thrust , Hoop stress
6.2. Design of top dome
The domes are designed for the total
vertical load only. The term total vertical load
include the weight of the dome slab and that of
covering material ,if any over the slab the weight
of any other load suspended from the slab and live
load etc.
The minimum thickness of dome slab should not be
less than 80 mm and the minimum percentage of
steel should not be less than 0.3 %
7. ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF TOP
RING BEAM
The ring beam is necessary to resist the
horizontal component of the thrust of the dome. To
bear this horizontal component of meridional
thrust a ring beam is provided at the base of dome
.

7.1. Design of top ring beam
The ring beam takes hoop tension and
transfer only vertical reaction to the supporting
walls.
8. CRACKWIDTH IN MATURE
CONCRETE
According to IS 3370:2009 following
assessments has given
8.1. Assessment of crack width in flexure
The design surface crack width should not
exceed the appropriate value i.e. 0.2 mm. Crack
width can be calculated by following formula
W = ( 3 acr εm )/ 1+{2 (acr – Cmin) /(D-x)
W = design surface crack widt
acr = distance from the point considered to the
surface of the nearest bar
εm = average strain at the level where the
cracking is being considered.
Cmin = minimum cover to the tension steel
D = overall depth of the member
x = depth of neutral axis
8.2. Average strain in flexure
The average strain at the level where
cracking is being considered is assessed by
calculating the apparent strain using characteristic
load and normal elastic theory. Where flexure is
predominant but some tension exists at the section ,
the depth of the neutral axis should be adjusted.
The calculated apparent strain , ε1 is then adjusted
to take into account the stiffening effect of the
concrete between cracks ε2.
εm = ε1 - ε2
8.3. Stiffening effect of concrete in flexure
For a limiting design surface crack width
of 0.2 mm
ε2 = bt (D-x)(a’-x) / 3 Es As (d-x)
where
ε1 = strain at the level considered
ε2 = strain due to the stiffening effect of concrete
between cracks
bt = width of section at the centroid of the tension
steel
D = overall depth of the member
x = depth of the member
Es = modulus of elasticity of reinforcement
As = area of tension reinforcement
d = effective depth
a’ = distance from the compression face to the
point at which the crack
8.4. Assesment of crackwidth in direct tension
In some reinforced concrete member like
tankwall direct tension due to applied loading may
act in combination with restrained to volume
change cause by temperature and shrinkage. This
can lead to significant cracking which should be
controlled in the interest of serviceability. cracking
due to direct tension is of somewhat more serious
because it cause clear separation of concrete
through the entire thickness of member.
9. CONCLUSION
The thickness of wall and depth of base
slab is comes to different for IS 3370:(1965) and IS
3370:(2009) because of the value of permissible
stress in Steel (in direct tension ,bending and
shear) IS 3370:(1965) value of σst is 150 N/mm2
and in IS 3370:(2009) σst is 130 N/mm2
. Design of
water tank by Limit State Method is most
economical as the quantity of material required is
less as compared to working stress method Water
tank is the most important container to store water
therefore, Crack width calculation of water tank is
also necessary.
