In General, the uplift calculation comes for the design of liquid retaining structure which is partly / fully underground.
Before starting of analysis/design you should have the following data -
1) Size of Tank/Pit.
2) Depth of Tank/Pit below G.L.
3) High Flood Level/Maximum Ground Water Table...
In a Under Ground Water Tank, to go inside the tank generally we provide Cast Iron Rungs. Instead of C.I.Rungs, can we use Aluminium ladder??? What are the advntages & disadvantage of Aluminium ladder inside the water tank. Please help..
Hi nonso,
For grade slab of water retaining structure the minimum thickness should be ((Height of water(in mm)/40 + 50 mm))
i.e. if the water height 5000 mm then minimum thickness should be 5000/40+50 = 175 mm. (considering no ground water table)
For grade slab of basement, the thickness will...
A launder wall of height 1.5 m is taken cantilever from the base slab of launder. The thickness o launder is 150 mm and the grade of concrete is M25 (Ready mix concrete). The steel provided is 10 tor @ 150 mm c/c.
The vertical through cracks are generated in the launder at a approximate...
