INTRODUCTION
1.1. PROJECT AIM
TO ANALYZE AND DESIGN AN OVERHEAD TANK FOR THE USAGE OF

COLLEGE AND HOSTEL USING STAAD PRO.
1.2. SCOPE
The main scope of this project is to apply class room knowledge in the real world by designing
an overhead tank. These tanks require large and clear areas unobstructed by the columns.
Overhead water tanks are used for domestic water storage and commercial water purposes to
maintain flow of water to the general usage and other water requiring appliances.
1.3 GENERAL
STAAD Pro. V8i is the most popular structural engineering software product for model
generation, analysis and multi-material design. It has an intuitive, user-friendly GUI,
visualization tools, powerful analysis and design facilities and seamless integration to several
other modeling and design software products. The software is fully compatible with all
Windows operating systems but is optimized for Windows 7.
The ultimate power tool for Computerized Structural Engineering For static or dynamic
analysis of bridges, containment structures, embedded structures (tunnels and culverts), pipe
racks, steel, concrete, aluminum or timber buildings, transmission towers, stadiums or any
other simple or complex structure, STAAD Pro has been the choice of design professionals
around the world for their specific analysis needs.
Our project involves analysis and design of overhead tank using a very popular designing
software STAAD Pro (V8i).
GCET JAMMU 1 MINOR PROJECT

We have chosen STAAD Pro because of its following advantages:
 easy to use interface,

 conformation with the Indian Standard Codes, versatile nature of solving any type of
problem,
 accuracy of the solution.
Fig. 1.1 : Staad Pro Outlook
STAAD.Pro consists of the following:
The STAAD.Pro Graphical User Interface: It is used to generate the model, which can then
be analyzed using the STAAD engine. After analysis and design is completed, the GUI can
also be used to view the results graphically.
The STAAD analysis and design engine: It is a general-purpose calculation engine for
structural analysis and integrated Steel, Concrete, Timber and Aluminum design. To start with
we have solved some sample problems using STAAD Pro and checked the accuracy of the
results with manual calculations. The results were to satisfaction and were accurate. In the

initial phase of our project we have done calculations regarding loadings on buildings and also
considered seismic and wind loads.
Structural analysis comprises the set of physical laws and mathematics required to study and
predicts the behavior of structures. Structural analysis can be viewed more abstractly as a
method to drive the engineering design process or prove the soundness of a design without a
dependence on directly testing it.
To perform an accurate analysis a structural engineer must determine such information as

structural loads, geometry, support conditions, and materials properties. The results of such an
analysis typically include support reactions, stresses and displacements. This information is
then compared to criteria that indicate the conditions of failure. Advanced structural analysis
may examine dynamic response, stability and non-linear behavior.
The aim of design is the achievement of an acceptable probability that structures being designed
will perform satisfactorily during their intended life. With an appropriate degree of safety, they
should sustain all the loads and deformations of normal construction and use and have adequate
durability and adequate resistance to the effects of seismic and wind. Structure and structural
elements shall normally be designed by Limit State Method. Account should be taken of
accepted theories, experiment and experience and the need to design for durability.
Design, including design for durability, construction and use in service should be considered
as a whole. The realization of design objectives requires compliance with clearly defined
standards for materials, production, workmanship and also maintenance and use of structure in
service.
The design of the building is dependent upon the minimum requirements as prescribed in the
Indian Standard Codes. The minimum requirements pertaining to the structural safety of
buildings are being covered by way of laying down minimum design loads which have to be
assumed for dead loads, imposed loads, and other external loads, the structure would be
required to bear. Strict conformity to loading standards recommended in this code, it is hoped,
will not only ensure the structural safety of the buildings which are being designed.

DESIGN PARAMETERS
3. DESIGN PARAMETERS
The program contains a number of parameters that are needed to perform design as per IS:
13920. It accepts all parameters that are needed to perform design as per IS: 456. Over and
above it has some other parameters that are required only when designed is performed as per
IS: 13920. Default parameter values have been selected such that they are frequently used
numbers for conventional design requirements. These values may be changed to suit the
particular design being performed by this manual contains a complete list of the available
parameters and their default values. It is necessary to declare length and force units as
Millimeter and Newton before performing the concrete design.
3.1. BEAM DESIGN
Beams are designed for flexure, shear and torsion. If required the effect of the axial force may
be taken into consideration. For all these forces, all active beam loadings are prescanned to
identify the critical load cases at different sections of the beams. For design to be performed as
per IS: 13920 the width of the member shall not be less than 200mm.
Also the member shall preferably have a width-to depth ratio of more than 0.3.
Design for Flexure:
Design procedure is same as that for IS: 456. However while designing following criteria are
satisfied as per IS: 13920
1. The minimum grade of concrete shall preferably be M25.
2. Steel reinforcements of grade Fe415 or less only shall be used.
3. The minimum tension steel ratio on any face, at any section, is given by:
ρmin = 0.24 √fck/fy

The maximum steel ratio on any face, at any section, is given by ρmax = 0.025.
4. The positive steel ratio at a joint face must be at least equal to half the negative
steel at that face.
5. The steel provided at each of the top and bottom face, at any section, shall at
least be equal to one-fourth of the maximum negative moment steel provided at
the face of either joint.
Design for Shear:
The Shear force to be resisted by vertical hoops is guided by the IS 13920:1993 revision. Elastic
sagging and hogging moments of resistance of the beam section at ends are considered while
calculating shear force. Plastic sagging and hogging moments of resistance can also be
considered for shear design if PLASTIC parameter is mentioned in the input file. Shear
reinforcement is calculated to resist both shear forces and torsional moments.
3.2 COLUMN DESIGN
Columns are designed for axial forces and biaxial moments per IS 456:2000. Columns are also
designed for shear forces. All major criteria for selecting longitudinal and transverse
reinforcement as stipulated by IS: 456 have been taken care of in the column design of STAAD.
However following clauses have been satisfied to incorporate provisions of IS: 13920
1. The minimum grade of concrete shall preferably be M25.

2. Steel reinforcements of grade Fe415 or less only shall be used.
3. The minimum dimension of column member shall not be less than 200 mm.For
columns having unsupported length exceeding 4m, the shortest dimension of
column shall not be less than 300 mm.
4. The ratio of the shortest cross-sectional dimension to the perpendicular
dimension shall preferably be not less than 0.
5. The spacing of hoops shall not exceed half the least lateral dimension of the
column, except where special confining reinforcement is provided.

6. Special confining reinforcement shall be provided over a length lo from each
joint face, towards mid span, and on either side of any section, where flexural
yielding may occur.
The length lo shall not be less than

a) larger lateral dimension of the member at the section where yielding occurs,
b) 1/6 of clear span of the member, and
c) 450 mm.
7. The spacing of hoops used as special confining reinforcement shall not exceed
of minimum member dimension but need not be less than 75 mm nor > 100 mm.

CHAPTER 4
DESIGN OPERATIONS
4. DESIGN OPERATIONS
STAAD contains a broad set of facilities for designing structural members as individual
components of an analyzed structure. The member design facilities provide the user with the
ability to carry out a number of different design operations.
These facilities may design problem. The operations to perform a design are:
 Specify the members and the load cases to be considered in the design.
 Specify whether to perform code checking or member selection.
 Specify design parameter values, if different from the default values.
 Specify whether to perform member selection by optimization.
These operations may be repeated by the user any number of times depending upon the design
requirements. Earthquake motion often induces force large enough to cause inelastic
deformations in the structure. If the structure is brittle, sudden failure could occur. But if the
structure is made to behave ductile, it will be able to sustain the earthquake effects better with
some deflection larger than the yield deflection by absorption of energy. Therefore ductility is
also required as an essential element for safety from sudden collapse during severe shocks.
STAAD has the capabilities of performing concrete design as per IS: 13920. While designing
it satisfies all provisions of IS: 456 - 2000 and IS: 13920 for beams and columns.
4.1 GENERAL COMMENTS
This section presents some general statements regarding the implementation of Indian Standard
code of practice (IS: 800 - 1984) for structural steel design in STAAD. The design philosophy
and procedural logistics for member selection and code checking are based upon the principles
of allowable stress design. Two major failure modes are recognized:

 failure by overstressing, and
 failure by stability considerations.
The flowing sections describe the salient features of the allowable stresses being calculated and
the stability criteria being used. Members are proportioned to resist the design loads without
exceeding the allowable stresses and the most economic section is selected on the basis of least
weight criteria. The code checking part of the program checks stability and strength
requirements and reports the critical loading condition and the governing code criteria. It is
generally assumed that the user will take care of the detailing requirements like provision of
stiffeners and check the local effects such as flange buckling and web crippling.
Allowable Stresses:
The member design and code checking in STAAD are based upon the allowable stress design
method as per IS: 800 (1984). It is a method for proportioning structural members using design
loads and forces, allowable stresses, and design limitations for the appropriate material under
service conditions. It would not be possible to describe every aspect of IS: 800 in this manual.
This section, however, will discuss the salient features of the allowable stresses specified by
IS: 800 and implemented in STAAD. Appropriate sections of IS: 800 will be referenced during
the discussion of various types of allowable stresses.
Multiple Analyses:
Structural analysis/design may require multiple analyses in the same run. STAAD allows the
user to change input such as member properties, support conditions etc. in an input file to
facilitate multiple analyses in the same run. Results from different analyses may be combined
for design purposes. For structures with bracing, it may be necessary to make certain members
inactive for a particular load case and subsequently activate them for another. STAAD provides
an INACTIVE facility for this type of analysis.
4.2 POST PROCESSING FACILITIES:

All output from the STAAD run may be utilized for further processing by the STAAD.Pro
GUI.

4.3 STABILITY REQUIREMENTS:
Slenderness ratios are calculated for all members and checked against the appropriate
maximum values. IS: 800 summarize the maximum slenderness ratios for different types of
members. In STAAD implementation of IS: 800, appropriate maximum slenderness ratio can
be provided for each member. If no maximum slenderness ratio is provided, compression
members will be checked against a maximum value of 180 and tension members will be
checked against a maximum value of 400.
4.4 DEFLECTION CHECK:
This facility allows the user to consider deflection as criteria in the CODE CHECK and
MEMBER SELECTION processes. The deflection check may be controlled using three
parameters. Deflection is used in addition to other strength and stability related criteria. The
local deflection calculation is based on the latest analysis results.
4.5 EARTHQUAKE COLLAPSE CHECK:
This checks at each column / beam interface, the program checks that the capacity of the
column exceeds the total capacity of all beams that connect to it. The earthquake check only
uses the results from Design Groups that have Design Briefs from the selected Design Code.
4.6 CODE CHECKING:
The purpose of code checking is to verify whether the specified section is capable of satisfying
applicable design code requirements. The code checking is based on the IS: 800 (1984)
requirements. Forces and moments at specified sections of the members are utilized for the
code checking calculations. Sections may be specified using the BEAM parameter or the
SECTION command. If no sections are specified, the code checking is based on forces and
moments at the member ends.

= 6.0833 m
Diameter of the top dome = 2 * 6.0833 = 12.167 m
Central rise of the top dome = D/6 = 5/6

= 0.83 m (approx.)
Radius of the bottom dome = (D/22 + r2) / 2r

= (5/22 + 0.832) / (2 * 0.83)
= 4.18 m
Diameter of the bottom dome = 2 * 4.18 = 8.36 m

Total height of the overhead tank = 20m
Total height of staging = 12m
Height of circular portion of water reservoir = 5m
Height of trapezoidal portion of water reservoir = 1.5m

CHAPTER 10
OVERHEAD COLUMN TYPE TANK
10.1 OVERHEAD COLUMN TYPE TANK

Overhead column type tank are used in today world to increase the safety of the structure
against failing. Current design of circular shaft type staging of elevated water tanks are
extremely vulnerable under earthquake forces. Shaft type staging contains poor ductility of thin
shell section and in addition to that it has lack of load paths and toughness. Hence, the overhead
column type tank is more resistant to earthquake and seismic forces.

Current designs of circular shaft type staging of elevated tanks are extremely vulnerable under
earthquake forces. In 2001 Bhuj earthquake, another illustration of this vulnerability had been
seen when many water tank with shaft staging suffered damage as distant as 100 km from the
epicenter. Shaft type staging contains poor ductility of thin shell sections and in addition to that
it has lack of redundancy of load paths and toughness.
Lateral strength analysis of number of damaged shaft staging clearly show that all of them are
either met or exceeded the requirements of IS: 1893(1984), however, they were all found to be
deficient when compared with the requirements of IBC in similar seismic exposure conditions.
IS: 1893(1984) design forces are inexcusably low for the systems which do not have enough
ductility or redundancy.
The current design parameters seismic codes for elevated tanks result in extremely vulnerable
shaft type supporting structures as evidenced in the 2001 Bhuj earthquake. Supporting shafts
developed flexural-tension cracks were observed in tanks as far as 100 km away from epicenter
regions despite the fact that most had lateral strength far greater that that specified by
IS:1893(1984).
Multipurpose elevated water storage facility of present invention includes a pillar supporting
the elevated water storage tanks which has the flute portion, by rendering overall facility more
efficiently and aesthetically pleasing. The fluted portion of the tank includes a plurality of the
fluted plates, and is coupled to a pillar by a box girder in preferred personification. Additional
stiffening rings are also included and additional floor can be included above water stored in the
tank.
