Minimum Wall Thickness of Precast Environmental liquid Retaining Structures
Minimum Wall Thickness of Precast Environmental liquid Retaining Structures
(OP)
Hi,
According to ACI 350-06 - 1.1.1.1, ACI 350 is not covering precast structures covered by ASTM except precast circular tanks.
AS per Chapter 14 , the minimum wall thickness is 12" if the wall is 10 feet or more in contact with liquid but for conventionally cast in place walls.
I just gussing that it stated cast in place because precast structures are not covered by ACI 350 but it is only covering precast circular tanks.
I just wanted to know if the minimum wall thickness of precast structure that has more than 10 feet liquid should be 12" ?
Thank You

Besides, if you're making some precast structure with 12 inch walls, it's going to weigh a lot pretty quickly. A 10 x 10 wall weighs 15,000 lb.
