UNDERGROUND CONCRETE VAULT DESIGN
UNDERGROUND CONCRETE VAULT DESIGN
(OP)
HI,
I relatively new to designing vaults and dealt mostly with building above ground.
Does anyone recommend any good standards for the design of the vaults for uplift, active and at rest pressure and what is a conservative seismic load on the tank??
Thank you,

I do not know the size of your vault or vaults, but would highly recommend engaging the services of a geotech if it is a detention tank.

If you have a decent depth of soil over the tank, uplift should not be a factor, but it still needs to be checked.
