    The document provides the design of reinforced concrete walls for a 6m x 2m x 2.5m deep water tank. The long walls are designed as vertical cantilevers to resist a maximum bending moment of 26.04 kN-m. Reinforcement of 16mm bars at 100mm c/c is required over a wall thickness of 175mm. The short walls are designed as slabs spanning between the long walls. At the corners, 10mm bars at 140mm c/c are needed to resist a bending moment of 5.89 kN-m. In the middle, 10mm bars at 300mm c/c on both faces are sufficient.

    Example 1 `

    A reinforced concrete water tank resting on ground is 6mx2m with a


    maximum depth of 2.5m. Using C-20 concrete and Grade I steel design the
    tank walls.

    Provide 16 mm diameter bars at 100mm c/c spacing.
