Dimensionamento de reservatórios elevados em concreto armado

Abstract

There are times the reservoirs are part of buildings, having the function of storing liquid needed to man, especially water. Currently, reinforced concrete is one of the most used materials in the execution of the reservoirs in buildings, and preventive measures in both the design phase and in the implementation phase should be taken to ensure the correct functioning of these structures. Given that the elevated tanks, known as water tanks, are most common in buildings and structural calculation softwares for specific functions not present for sizing this type of structure or when present practices are not considered, in this work will be presented a spreadsheet developed in Excel for the design of elevated tanks in reinforced concrete, with the purpose of making the practical computation of these structures for engineers calculating, eliminating any manual calculations throughout the process.
