WATER QUANTITY ESTIMATION IN COLLEGE CAMPUS

Population or the number of students to be served in 2014 = 2000

Let population to be increased at rate of 10% per decade

Number of students (2014) = 2000

Number of students in 2024 = 2200

Number of students in 2034 = 2420

Number of students in 2044 = 2662

Quantity = per capita demand × Population

FLUCTUATION IN RATE OF DEMAND

Average daily per capita demand in college campus = 45 lpcd

If this average supplied at all the times it will not be sufficient to meet the fluctuation.

HOURLY VARIATION

DESIGN REQUIREMENT OF TANK
* Concrete mix weaker than M-20 is not used because of higher grade lesser porosity of
concrete.

* Minimum quantity of cement in concrete shall be not less than 30 KN/m3.

* Use of small size bars.

* Coefficient of expansion due to temperature=11×10-6/˚C

* Coefficient of shrinkage may be taken = 450 × 10-6 for initial and 200 × 10-6 for drying
shrinkage.

* Minimum cover to all reinforcement should be 20 mm or the diameter of main bar whichever
is greater.

* An overhead liquid retaining structure is design using working stress method avoiding the
cracking in the tank and to prevent the leakage and the component of tank can be design using
LIMIT STATE METHOD
(example:-column ,foundation ,bracing ,stairs etc.).

* Code using IS: 3370-PART 2-2009

IS: 456:2000

* The leakage is more with higher liquid head and it has been observed thad water head up to
15m does not cause leakage problem.

* In order to minimize cracking due to shrinkage and temperature, minimum reinforcement is

recommended as-

(i) For thickness ≤ 100 mm = 0.3%

(ii) For thickness ≥ 450 mm = 0.2%

For thickness between 100 mm to 450 mm = varies linearly from 0.3% to 0.2%

* For concrete thickness ≥ 225 mm, two layer of reinforcement be placed one near water face
and other away from water face.

FROM IS -3370

(i) For load combination water load treated as dead load.

(ii) Cracking – The maximum calculated surface width of concrete for direct tension and flexure
or restrained temperature and moisture effect shall not exceed 0.2 mm with specified cover.

(iii) Shrinkage coefficient may be assumed = 300 × 10-6.

(iv) Bar spacing should generally not exceed than 300 mm or the thickness of the section
whichever is less.

The hoop steel may be curtailed according to hoop tension at different height along the wall
provided 0.24% of minimum vertical reinforcement.

Average thickness of wall = (120+200) / 2 = 160 mm.

Design of ring beam B3:-

Thickness =100 mm

Rise = 1.5 m (centre)

Base dia. = 8 m

Raidus of curvature = 6 m

Cos 41.8o = 0.745

The ring beam connect the tank wall within conical dome. The vertical load at the junction of the
wall with conical dome is transferred to the ring beam B3 by horizontal thrust. In the conical dome
the horizontal component of thrust causes hoop tension at the junction.

W = Load transferred through the tank wall at the top of conical dome / unit length.

Øo = Inclination of conical dome.

T = Meridional thrust in conical dome at the junction.

tan Øo = 2/2.5

218915.82
Stress in equivalent section = (1000×600)+10×1570
