Practical Applications:

If the height of the retaining wall exceeds certain limit, the cantilever walls are not economical. Economy
can be achieved by providing counterforts which are nothing but vertical beams connected to the stem and the
heel slab by reinforcements at regular intervals. The heel slab and the vertical stem are designed as continuous
slabs instead of cantilever slabs. If the counterforts are provided in the toe side, the retaining wall is called a
buttress wall.When the height of the stem goes beyond 6m; the thickness of the stem becomes uneconomical in
cantilever retaining wall. In this case counterfort retaining walls are used. The counterforts support both the
vertical stem as well as heel slab. Counterfort retaining walls are used to hold the earth/soil in place behind the
inside face.

Practical Applications:
The RC slab-type deck is generally used for small spans. This type of superstructure is economical for
spans up to about 8m. Slab decks are simpler to construct due to the easier fabrication of formwork and
reinforcements and placement of concrete. Generally, slab decks are supported at the ends on piers or abutments.
The deck slab is designed as a one-way slab to support the dead load and live load with impact.

Result:
Thus the exercise has been designed and drawn by using AutoCAD software package.

RESULT
Thus the exercise has been design & drawn by AUTOCADD Software package.

Practical Applications:
Flat bottomed tank requires more reinforcement in the bottom slab and domed bottom tank requires more
reinforcement in the ring beam. In very large size diameter tanks, the size of the bottom slab can be reduced by
providing conical bottom as shown in the figure, which is known as Intze tank. The main advantage of Intze tank
is that the outward thrust from the conical part is resisted by the ring beam B3 while the difference between the
inward thrust from the bottom of conical dome and the outward thrust from the bottom dome are resisted by ring
beam B2. The proportions of the conical dome and the bottom dome are so arranged that the outward thrust from
bottom dome balances the inward thrust due to the conical dome.

Practical Applications Advantages & Disadvantages of circular tanks
Mainly used to store water in both public and private buildings. Has got more usage in all kinds of industries.

Advantages:
1. Less costly the below ground tanks and Easy to clean.
2. Can be raised off ground to increase water pressure.
3. Can detect cracks and leakages easily.
4. Can extract water via gravity and/or pumps.

Disadvantages:
5. Affected by weather.
6. Take up space.
