concrete tank design tables
concrete tank design tables
(OP)
(I also posted this in the Civil/Environmental, but wasn't sure where I would get a response.)
I am designing a rectangular concrete tank using the pca design guide. I would like a little more explanation on the design table in the appendix. If I go in with a certain Mu/Phi(f'c)bd2, which sigma do column do I use to find omega? Do I assume a sigma first? It appears that their examples use a sigma of 0.001.

RE: concrete tank design tables
If you are designing, enter the table with Mu/(phi*f'c*b*d**2); find omega and compute the steel percentage required, rho, from rho=omega*f/c/fy
If you are investigating a design, enter the table with omega; find value of Mn/(f'c*b*d**2) and solve for the nominal strength Mn.
