DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF OVERHEAD WATER TANKS

CIVIL ENGINEERING

The design and analysis of an above water container for households are critical to providing appropriate water supply and distribution. The research examines the structural and hydraulic aspects of building such tanks to meet home water supply demands while maintaining structural integrity and safety. The structural design comprises establishing the tank's measurements, materials, and reinforcement to handle different loads such as live and dead loads, and earthquake forces. FEA (Finite Element Analysis) methods are used to evaluate the performance of structures and enhance designs for efficiency and durability. On the hydraulics side, the research involves evaluating a tank's needed volume depending on the need for water, population serviced, and service frequency. Hydraulic modelling methods are applied to Adapt the storage tank's inlet and outlet layouts to ensure that water is filled and distributed efficiently to the residences. In addition, ecological considerations like collecting rainwater as well as sustainability are incorporated into the process of design to optimize resource use while minimizing the environmental impact. This study seeks to give a thorough knowledge of the design and analysis procedure for above water tanks, allowing engineers and designers to create efficient and environmentally friendly water storage solutions for residential structures.
