Yes we can use limit state design for water tank design....
i think , because water tanks are more vulnerable structures and plus the tank is sometime overfilled and sometime empty, the pressure inside is so varying, its needs more safety precautions and as we all know working stress method assumes more safety factor than limit state design, which is an economical design, we prefer to use working stress method...
When a pump is pumping water from a level that is below the pump it is called suction head. If the water to be pumped is at a level above the pump, it is positive head. The pump maybe pumping from the base of a tank to a higher level such as an elevated tank or it may be pulling water from a tank that is below the pump. The distance from the center of the pump to the top of the water level would be the foot of head. It takes 2.31 feet to make 1 P.S.I. So if it is 10 feet from the center line of the pump to the water level, you would have about 4.33 P.S.I. of head.
So you can use gravity rather then a pump to get water out of them.
Yes, a single hot water tank can be used for both heating a home and providing hot water for domestic use, but it requires a proper system design. This setup typically involves a boiler or a water heater that is connected to a hydronic heating system, where hot water circulates through radiators or underfloor heating. However, it's important to ensure that the tank has sufficient capacity to meet both heating and domestic hot water demands without compromising efficiency or comfort. Consulting with a professional is advisable to design an effective system.
So you can use gravity rather then a pump to get water out of them.
A storage tank is usually elevated, and feeds water by gravity. A suction tank relies on a pump to move water.
Yes, the pressure in a pipe draining an elevated water tank depends on both the height of the tank and the level of water in the tank. The pressure is directly related to the height difference between the water level and the point of discharge, and it decreases as the water level in the tank drops.

The water level in the toilet tank may be too high due to a faulty fill valve or a problem with the float mechanism. This can cause excess water to flow into the tank, leading to an elevated water level.
pleas i want to know the proccedure of deisign of under ground concrete water tank
i know how to...mail me at piyush4567@gmail.com
he experimented with water colours, also in architecture and in tank design
The letters "TW" on a propane tank stand for "Tested Water," indicating that the tank has been tested for water capacity. "DT" refers to "Design Type," which is part of the tank's specification related to its design and construction. These markings help ensure the tank meets safety regulations and standards for storage and transportation of propane.
Both are a means of delivering water at an increased pressure. The difference between the two is how they are installed. The water pressure in an elevated water tank system increases as the height of the tank goes higher. As a simple example, get a length of transparent plasticÊhose and fill it with water. Hold both ends of the hose at level then slowly raise one end higher than the other. Water will flow towards the lower end. For a booster pump system, there is no need for elevation. The pump itself is capable of increasing the pressure by pushing water fasterÊusing a hydraulic valve system.
To design a rectangular water tank in a building, first determine the required capacity based on water usage needs. Choose appropriate materials, such as reinforced concrete or fiberglass, ensuring they can withstand water pressure and environmental conditions. Incorporate inlet and outlet pipes for water supply and drainage, and design access points for maintenance. Lastly, ensure compliance with local building codes and regulations regarding water storage.
