Economical Size of Over Head Tanks by Height/Diameter Ratio

Chhavi Narayan Dewangan, Rahul Rathore

Abstract


Storage reservoirs and overhead tanks are used for the storage of various products like water, liquid petroleum, petroleum products and similar liquids. The force analysis of the reservoirs or tanks is about the same irrespective of the chemical nature of the product, unless the product is corrosive. For a very high value of H/D, cost of OHT is higher as width of vertical increases due to hoops stress. Similarly, for very low value of H/D, cost of OHT is higher as diameter of tank increases, more no. of columns and footings are to be provided. So, economical cost can be achieved by optimizing the value of H/D.
