ANALYSIS, DESIGN AND DETAILING OF ELEVATED RECTANGULAR WATER

TANK
AIM:
To analyse and design an elevated rectangular water tank using STAAD.Pro software.
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
Analyse and design elevated rectangular water tank 4m wide, 4m deep and 9m long. The
bottom of the tank is 10m above G.L. the tank is covered by slab at top. S.B.C of soil is 150
kN/m2. Grade of concrete is M20.

PROCEDURE:
(a) Pressure Calculation:
1. Live load on roof

= 1.5 kN/m2

2. Horizontal pressure on walls = H = 104

= 40 kN/m2

3. Water load on base slab

= H = 104 = 40 kN/m2

(a) MODELLING
1. From the Task bar select StartSTAAD.ProNew ProjectFile name and
LocationPlaneNextAdd BeamFinish then Open STAAD Pro window.
2. Specify Job Name, Job Title and other required features.
3. The nodes dialogue box appears, now enter the nodal points.

4. From the Menu bar Select Geometry and select Add Plates (clockwise or
anticlockwise direction) and Add Beams (left to right and bottom to top or vice
versa) and join all the nodes in same pattern.
5. From the Menu bar Select Structure tools and select Property Page. The PropertiesWhole structure dialogue box appears. Select Define Rectangle feed YD and ZD
values Add close. Now Select Section Use cursor to assign Assign to
appropriate beams. Similarly for slabs, select Thickness Feed thickness Add
Close.
6. From the Menu bar Select Structure tools and select Support Page, Support-Whole
Structure dialogue box appears. Select Create Fixed Add Select Support use
cursor to assign Assign(appropriate nodes) Close.
7. From the Menu bar Select Structure tools and select Load Page Load Cases
