(OP)
Please recommend any books or design reference standards about structural design of water/wastewater treatment plants (facilities). The simpler the fundamentals of structural design, the better.
Thanks a lot for any input.

But this is not something you can learn completely out of a book. You need to look at existing designs, evaluate their strengths and weaknesses, talk to experienced designers and generally observe.

Thanks for replies. At least your inputs give me some useful information and directions. This makes sense to me. I tried hard to find some design books from Internet but nothing is really useful.
Thanks a lot,

Again it is based on british standards but contains many worked examples.

For circ tanks, (as per JedClampett above) use circular concrete tanks wihout prestressing by PCA USA.
For rectangular plates (walls of filters etc for WTP), the PCA also has a publication but I generally use the USBR version. Try thread404-205384: flat plate solutions with my (following) answer.
I would like to refer you to a site that I often use for rectangular plates - a USBR pub that has many support conditions & many loading conditions. I have found the site (directed to me by 'bridgebuster' in another thread).

This pub was originally produced for the skin wall of counterfort retaining walls, but has such a universal application to the design of rectangular plates, that I must direct the site to you.
I agree (with previous threads) that you MUST be careful of FEA that cannot be verified. I am an advocate of elastic solutions (method that have stood the test of time & the results that are reproducible).
My guides have always been: -
Theory of plates & shells by timoshenko
Stresses by Rourke & Young
