Software for underground concrete tank design
Software for underground concrete tank design
(OP)
Hi,
I am new to this forum and I am looking for software that can do analysis and design of underground reinforced concrete tanks encountered in water and wastewater engineering, manholes etc.
Moreover, if anyone has information on good reference on this topic, I would appreciate help.

I am new to this forum.
I am right now designing underground Reinforced concrete water tank.
tha following references we are using.
1. ACI 350/350R-2002
2. ACI 350.3
3. ACI 318
4. TID Document 7024. Dynamic Pressure on fluid container.
I am also looking for software & other references.

Description: The latest in analysis and design for rectangular tanks. This new edition contains vastly expanded design tables.
Abstract: Presents analysis methods for rectangular tanks containing fluids. Describes the analysis procedure and gives tables of coefficients for moments, shears, and deflections due to uniform and triangular loads. Support conditions considered are free and hinged tops and hinged and fixed bases. Also covered is durability, minimum reinforcement, crack control, formwork considerations, and multicell tanks. Comprehensive design examples illustrate the use of the tables and design aids.
Item Code:IS003
Date of Publication: 1998
Coefficients from the tables in the book can be imported to a spreadsheet program for whatever purpose is desired. Reverse the sign of the coefficients for exterior loading.

Thanks for the reply. I have the PCA handbook and thinking of using it for the design. If anybody has the idea on simple software instead of 3D FEM, it would be a great help.
The PCA handbook has one example for wall and top slab design, how about the base slab (foundation design)?
Lutfi,
Could you send that program source code, to my email add. I wanna try it.

There is one PCA publication by Javeed Munshi " Design of Liquid Containing concrete structures for Earthquake force".
We are also using PCA ADOSS program for design of roof slab and bottom slab. It does flat slab design as per ACI-318.
