AWWA D100
AWWA D100
(OP)
We are currently analyzing a ground-supported water tank that was designed and manufactured by Pittsburgh-Des Moines in 1959. It is our intention to perform an analysis of this structure using the AWWA D100 standard that was current at that time. Does anyone know the year of that standard and where I can purchase a copy of it? If so, I would greatly appreciate it!

I had a feeling that quite a bit hasn't changed in those years - the current D100-96 seems rather simplistic, except for the seismic and Chapter 14 info, which seems to modernize the standard. I was mainly looking for the material class of the steel used. Knowing A36 steel wasn't available in 1959, do you think the steel would have Fy>34 ksi, and therefore be classified as Class 2?

By the way, simple is good, don' knock it. Current ASCE 7 is a real mess.
