Abstract – The water needed for everyday needs is kept in
height water is to be pumped with the self-watering head of the tank. As per the shape, size, situations, location, and material to be used for construction, it can be classified into different types.
reserve in a water tank. An overhead water tank is a civil structure typically constructed using reinforced concrete. Its design incorporates a unique feature of a curved dome shaped roof, which helps distribute the load of the stored water evenly across the tanks wall. This design minimizes stress concentration points, making the tank more structurally stable. One of the main advantages of Intze type water tank is their efficient use of space. The cylindrical shape of water tank allows for maximum storage capacity while occupying minimum ground area, making it ideal for urban environment with limited space. Additionally, the curved roof design eliminates the need for internal supports, further optimizing the available storage space. The hydrostatic water pressure in a circular tank filled with water will attempt to expand its diameter at any point. However, this crease in the diameter all along the height of the tank will depend upon the nature of the joint at the junction of the wall and bottom slab.
A water tank is a water storage reinforcement concrete structure used to store water for different purposes. It is typically constructed of structures of concrete, sand, cement, and steel reinforcement, generally to tide over the daily requirements. An overhead Intze type water tank is a cylindrical structure typically constructed using reinforced concrete. Its design incorporates a unique feature of a curved dome-shaped roof, which helps distribute the load of the stored water evenly across the tank wall. This design minimizes stress concentration points, making the tank more structurally stable. One of the main advantages of Intze-type water tanks is their efficient use of space. The cylindrical shape of the water tank allows for maximum storage capacity while occupying a minimum ground area, making it ideal for urban environments with limited space. Additionally, the curved roof design eliminates the need for internal supports, further optimizing the available storage space.
The imperviousness of concrete is crucial for building structures made of it to store liquids, such as water. Any homogeneous and well-compacted concrete with specified mix proportions will have permeability, mostly due to the waterto-cement ratio. Design of liquid retaining structure has to be based on the avoidance of cracking in the concrete having regards to its tensile strength. The design of the concrete must guarantee that it does not fracture along its water face. The Intze type water tanks are also known for their costeffectiveness. The use of locally available materials, such as concrete and reinforcement bars help to reduce construction cost. Moreover, the durability and low maintenance requirements, resulting long term cost saving. The Intze tank is widely used for storing the water for various applications as residential, commercial, and industrial purposes.
The Intze-type water tanks are cost-effective, and they are built all over the country. In the construction of water tanks, locally available materials are generally used. The concrete and reinforcement bar help to reduce construction costs. Moreover, the durability and low maintenance requirements result in long-term cost savings. The Intze tank is used to fulfill the requirement of water for residential, commercial, and industrial purposes. When water is filled in a circular tank, due to hydrostatic water pressure, the diameter of the tank tries to increase. The water and other liquid storage concrete structures, the concrete should be impervious. The permeability of any uniform ability of compacted concrete mix is mainly dependent on the water-cement ratio. The design of the liquid-retaining structure should be free from cracks. The Intze type water tank is an elevated tank, and wind and earthquake forces are most dangerous for it. It should be a designed earthquake-resistant water tank. At the time of design of such a type of water tank, wind forces should be considered so that it becomes wind force resistance.
Key Words: Concrete, classification of water tank. 1.INTRODUCTION: The water tank is a container designed to store water and supply it for various purposes. It comes in different shapes and sizes and is made of different kinds of materials. A water tank is constructed for use for residential, commercial, and industrial purposes. A water tank typically comprises various components and uses different types of materials for construction. The dimensions of water tanks depend on the capacity of tanks. In the case of elevated water tanks, the height of the staging of the tank also depends on how much
