CONCRETE WATER TANK CONSTRUCTION

Residential water tanks and overhead water tanks are very crucial since the people can obtain an uninterrupted 24 x 7 hours water supply for drinking, cooking, gardening, car washing, and washing clothes in residential homes and multi storied apartments. Concrete water tanks are robust and long-lasting and come in different types of shapes like rectangular and circular. The main ingredients of concrete water tank are reinforced cement concrete, ferrocement, geopiers or other suitable materials which have the strength to resist both the load of the water and tank as well as the uplift forces as a result of overturning. The design of reinforced concrete water tank is created on the basis of IS 3370: 2009 (Parts I – IV). The design varies on the location of tanks, i.e. overhead, on ground or underground water tanks.
