F UNDERGROUND BURNT OIL TANK DESIGN

Each transformer including oil conservator tank and cooler banks etc. shall be
1 placed in a transformer pit surrounded by retaining walls (pit walls).
The clear distance of the retaining wall from the

2 transformer shall be 20% of the transformer height or 0.8m whichever is more
Each transformer pit shall be drained towards a sump pit whose role is to
3 recover the infiltrating water and the drained oil from the pit
The sump pit shall have sufficient capacity to receive without overflowing the
oil content of large transformers plus the water content of any fixed fire
4 fighting system and a certain quantity of rain water collected from the pit
connected to it.
Full water pressure from inside and no earth pressure, ground water pressure
& surcharge pressure from outside (application only to structures, which are
5 liable to be filled up with water or any other liquid).
Full earth pressure, surcharge pressure and ground water pressure from
6 outside and no water pressure from inside.
The retaining walls which make up the transformer pit shall be made of fire
7 resistant material such as reinforced cement concrete, fire brick etc and shall
be impervious to oil.
When designing the transformer pit, the movement of the transformer must be
8 taken into account.
Design shall also be checked against buoyancy due to the ground water during
construction and maintenance stages. Minimum factor of safety of 1.5 against
9 buoyancy shall be ensured ignoring the superimposed loadings
The design of reinforced concrete oil tank is based on IS 3370: 2009 (Parts I – IV)
10
The design and construction of RCC structures shall be carried out as per IS: 456
11 and minimum grade of concrete shall be M-25.
12 High Water Tightness have to be provided

The bending and tension stress value is kept within the permissible value in
13 order to prevent cracking. As per IS 3370-Table. 1
14 The permissible stress in steel is as per IS 3370-Table. 4

Exposure condition – The exposure condition as per IS 3370 part 1 -2009,
clause 4 shall be considered as “severe” for the structure retaining liquid. The
15 clear cover which we use in the designs shall be for the severe condition.
One more important clause is as per 7.2 a i.e. No relief shall be considered due
16 to soil pressure on wall.
17 Stability factor due to uplift condition shall be 1.2 .

18 For Load combinations “oil Load” shall be considered as “Dead Load”
MINIMUM REINFORCEMENT ON WATER FACE As
19 per IS 3370 Min steel required for a cross section is 0.35 %
MINIMUM REINFORCEMENT ON SOIL FACE As

20 per IS 3370 Min steel required for a cross section is 0.35 %
The bottom is considered as resting on ground and hence the oil pressure
counteracts the upward soil pressure. The bottom slab is designed as grade slab
for Min steel as per IS 3370 assuming depth as 200 mm and reinforcement is
21 provided for D/2 depth as per the surface zone concept of 3370 for grounded
slabs.
Suitable measures are taken to prevent cracking of the concrete during the
22 construction period and until the tank is put into use.
23 Movement joints should be provided in accordance with IS 3770 (part I)

24 Place layer of lean concrete not less than 75 mm thick over the ground.
25 Install polyethylene sheet layer between lean concrete and the floor
when walls and floor are connected rigidly, then moment at the junction in
combination with other transferred loads shall be considered in floor design.
26
It is desired to permit the walls to expand or contract separately from the floor.
27
28 To prevent moments at the base of the wall because of fixity to the floor.
When water tank constructed in ground or earth embanked against it, then
29 earth pressure shall be accounted in wall design.
30 The internal surface of the tank shall be provide crystalline waterproofing

In the presence of aggressive soils or harmful water the external surface shall
31 be coat with two coat of bitumen layers paint.
