Reliability Analysis of Water Tanks by Ashraf Mahmoud is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1) The document analyzes the reliability of an underground reinforced concrete rectangular water tank using the First Order Reliability Method. Limit state functions are defined for the ultimate and serviceability limit states for the tank wall and floor slab. 2) Results show the design requirement for the floor slab in tension yields the lowest performance and should be the principal factor considered in alternative designs that are not employed. Increasing the slab span decreases the reliability index, m
