STRUCTURAL DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF 2-1000L WATER TANK STRUCTURE (JUNE 2009)

This water tank structure is used to carry two 1000L (max) stainless water tank. One tank is placed 5 meters above ground and the other is 8 meters. The truss structure is made of angular bars.

Truss analysis (code checking, steel section selection), baseplate design, reinforced concrete column and footing design are performed in this project.

It is always interesting how structure behave when loads are applied. Here is an animation on the behavior of the steel structure under maximum loading. Deflection is scaled at 0.001 m per m.

    is it really true that Staad Pro. can not design doubly reinforsed beams? i’m confused…

      arrowstar,
      actually staad can design doubly reinforced beam but it cannot design 2 layers or more on either tensile or compressive area in a given section. In such case, it will specify the area of reinforcing bars needed. It can even specify the amount of rebar needed for torsion.
