    Question

    In the design of water tank for thickness upto 100 mm, minimum percentage of reinforcement should be -

    A.

    0.1%

    B.

    0.2%

    C.

    0.3%

    D.

    0.4%

    Correct option is C


    For water tanks and other liquid-retaining structures, the minimum percentage of reinforcement is governed by IS 3370 (Part 2): 2009 (Code of Practice for Concrete Structures for Storage of Liquids). According to the code:
    For a wall thickness up to 100 mm, the minimum percentage of reinforcement in the concrete section is specified as 0.3% of the gross cross-sectional area.
    This minimum reinforcement ensures:
    Crack control due to temperature changes and shrinkage.
    Adequate strength and durability for liquid-retaining structures.
