  Economical Size of Over Head Tanks by Height/Diameter Ratio

  By Chhavi Narayan Dewangan, Rahul Rathore

  Abstract: Storage reservoirs and overhead tanks are used for the storage of various products like 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, unless the product is corrosive. For a very high value of H/D, cost of OHT is higher as width of vertical increases due to hoops stress. Similarly, for …

  Analysis of Economical Design of RCC Water Tanks of Different Shapes

  By Chhavi Narayan Dewangan, Rahul Rathore

  Abstract: The various overhead water tanks are constructed for direct distribution by gravity flow without pumping and are usually of capacities ranging from 50 to 3000 KL. All the tanks are designed as crack free structures to reduce any leakage. The present article gives in brief, the theory behind the design of liquid retaining structure (circular water tank with flexible and rigid base and rectangular underground water tank). The present paper …
