Concrete tank axial tension in walla
Concrete tank axial tension in walla
(OP)
Hi,
Designing a concrete tank where shear forces in long walls equal direct tension in short walls and vice-versa. I am designing to British Standards or Eurocode preferably. I know I must add the reinforcement required for the direct tension to the reinforcement required for horizontal moments but I am struggling to figure how to find the area of steel required for DT. Is it simply Area required = Tension/0.87fyk and applying half the area obtained to each face? (fyk = strength of rebar 500N/mm2 and 0.87 is factor applied to rebar strength in calculating bennding steel required for all you non-Europeans)
Cheers

I use this reference for finding unit shears and moments in rectangular tanks. As far as resistance factors and load factors for Eurocode, I can not help. I am sure you use a rectangular compression stress block theory, so I am not sure what is complicated once you have performed the structural analysis.
