-Computer Aided Design of Overhead INTZE
Water Tank
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.
Salient 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.
