RC Elevated Water Tank Design Guide

This document provides design data and calculations for the reinforcement of a rectangular elevated water tank without a key beam. The tank has dimensions of 6m x 6m x 2m. Reinforcement is designed for the wall, roof slab, and base slab to resist water pressure, bending moments, and tensile forces. Horizontal and vertical reinforcement quantities are calculated and spacing requirements are checked to code standards.
