Syllabus
This course is full of best-in-class content by leading faculty and industry experts in the form of videos and projects
Course Overview
- This course will highlight the different uses of tanks in residential, industrial, and commercial settings, sizing calculations with proper demand analysis, and basic things to know while performing design, etc.
- Throughout the course, learners will make an in-depth study of the design of on-ground and overhead tanks, both manually and through finite element analysis with STAAD.Pro.
- At the end of the course, learners will be able to design concrete tanks on their own while adhering to codes and standards.

Industry Projects
Our projects are designed by experts in the industry to reflect industry standards. By working through our projects, Learners will gain a practical understanding of what they will take on at a larger-scale in the industry. In total, there are 2 Projects that are available in this program.
Analysis and design of an underground water tank using STAAD.Pro
- In this project, the learners will need to create a full-scaled 3D STAAD.Pro model of the underground water tank complying with the calculated demand, site constraints, and best practise guidelines for FEA. The final model should consist of all the applicable loadings on the structure, support conditions, material specifications, and an average mesh size of 500 mm. The modelling of the entire geometry shall be based on a centre line approach, and the model should be devoid of any errors or warnings.
Post processing of results from analysis and design of an underground water tank using STAAD.Pro
In this project, the learners will perform the post-processing of the analysis results obtained for the 3D model of an underground tank with given dimensions using STAAD.Pro, which starts with a structural stability check of the UG water tank. This would be ensured by checking the base pressure and settlement under the slab. If these limits are not satisfied, then the size needs to be revised.
