This book offers practical guidance on designing overhead water tanks using RCC and structural steel. It covers both foundational and superstructure elements, including painting, with detailed construction drawings and calculations based on ACI and IS codes. Key topics include tank shapes, materials, construction methods, soil-based foundation types, and safety considerations. Popular tank designs, such as RCC conical and cylindrical tanks, are explored alongside computer-aided design tools. • Covers foundation solutions for different soil types, advanced seismic analysis, and strength design, including water-resistant concrete • Reviews information on the popular types of tanks used in the market • Discusses longhand calculations, enabling designers to design tanks as per requirements • Provides computer-aided methods to support practical concepts • Includes concrete layout and reinforcement drawings in line with practical engineering practiceIdeal for structural engineers, this book bridges theoretical concepts with practical solutions.
