Introduction

The design of overhead Intze Water Tank is carried out using the computer aided design software. The design is carried out as per relevant analysis procedures combined with Indian Standard Codes of Practices. The water tank dome is designed by working stress method and the supporting columns & braces by limit state method. The analysis accounts for all forces inside the dome arising out of water retained and live loads including the external environmental forces of wind and/or earthquake in addition to ubiquotas dead loads. The foundation forces at the level of safe bearing capacity are also evaluated and then manually foundation design can be done. The software also gives the shape description of the tank and keeping various parameters, one can change the governing parameter to get the optimum result and safe design with economy. The staging can be designed to withstand the effect of wind/earthquake forces.


Special Features

Design based on computer-aided technique. Any parameter can be varied to see the influence on the complete structure. Faster design due to computer aided software.


Prospective Users

All water distribution Authorities, Jal Nigam, Municipal Corporation, etc.
