LIST OF EXERCISES

1. Design a cantilever retaining wall to retain earth embankment 3m above ground level.
The unit weight of earth is 18kN/m3 and its angle of repose is 30. The embankment is
horizontal at its top. The safe bearing capacity of soil is 100kN/m 2 and the coefficient
of friction between soil and concrete is 0.5. Adopt M20 concrete and Fe415 steel.
2. Design a counter fort retaining wall to retain earth 5m above ground level. The unit
weight is 16kN/m3 and its angle of repose is 30, safe bearing capacity of soil is
125kN/m2. Adopt M20 concrete and Fe415 steel.
3. Design an underground water tank 12m x 5m x 2m deep including a free board of
0.3m. The dry of soil is 16 kN/m3 and the angle of repose of dry soil is 30 degrees.
The outside wall which is 0.3m below the top of tank wall may be taken as 2.5 kN/m 2.
Adopt M20 concrete and Fe415 steel.
4. Design a circular tank for capacity of 400 kilo litres with flexible base. Adopt M 20
concrete and Fe415 steel. Also sketch the reinforcement details.
5. Design an overhead flat bottomed cylindrical water tank for a capacity of 100,000
liters. The depth of water is to be 3.6m. Free board = 200mm and the top of the tank is
covered with a dome, design the dome, top ring beam and side walls of the tank.
