HI,
I relatively new to designing vaults and dealt mostly with building above ground.
Does anyone recommend any good standards for the design of the vaults for uplift, active and at rest pressure and what is a conservative seismic load on the tank??
Thank you,

Hi,
ACI 350-06 has more stringent crack criteria than the ACI 318-05, so you should make sure that you are using the correct code. Although section 10.6.5 equation is the same on both codes, 10.6.4.1 and 2 of the ACI 350-06 gives you a lower allowable maximum stress than that of the ACI 318-05...
Hi,
Does anyone know where the drift limits are shown in the code for external cladding and/ or glass. This is assuming that the cladding is separate from the lateral resisting elements.
Thanks
