Analysis of An Intake Well Treatment Plant Unit Using Analysis Tool

Abstract

Liquid storage tanks are one of the many important structures that demand greater safety against natural disasters like earthquakes. Specific concentration must be paid while designing the water tank to avoid the potential damage associated with the failure of storage tanks and water treatment plants.

In India at least, most of the components of water treatment plant like clariflocculator, aeration tank, disinfection tank etc. are composed in RCC. Pre-stressed concrete is not economical for small structures. But this construction can be efficient for water treatment plant. The pre-stressed steel strands distribute loads uniformly around the tank circumference efficiently. In pre-stressed concrete, compressive stresses are applied to the concrete prior to loading. The entire cross section is essentially in compression under service loads, which takes advantage of concrete’s considerable compressive strength but minimal tensile strength. Since concrete deforms under sustained loads (creep), pre-stressed concrete was not practical until the advent of high strength pre-stressing bars and strands. In case of RCC tanks, moisture and temperature differential may cause bend and crack of concrete walls which can be avoided by using pre-stressed concrete. The aim of study is to design the components of water treatment plants using R.C.C. water treatment plant. The components are designed for the same storage capacity for both RCC water treatment plant. Design of components of RCC water treatment plant are analyzed based on various important parameters. The modeling and analysis part of the water tank design was carried out by using STAAD PRO.
