How calculate rectangular water tank capacity in litters?
How calculate rectangular water tank capacity in litters?
We assume the dimensions of water tank length, breadth and depth.
Take value in feet,
Length (L) = 12”
Breadth (B) = 8”
Depth (H) = 6”
To find volume of water tank,
Volume = L X B X
H
= 12 X 8 X 6
= 576 cu.ft
To find 1 cu.ft water?
Density of water = 1000 kg/cu.m
1 cu.m = 1000 liters (1000kgs)
1 cu.m
= 35.3198 cu.ft
water in 1 cu.ft
= 1000/ 35.3198
= 28.31 liters.
So, weight of water = 576 x 28.31
= 16306.56
~ 16307 liters. (16307 kgs)
The capacity of rectangular water tank is
16307
liters.

What is foundation?
The foundation of a building is that part of walls, piers and columns in
direct contact with the ground and transmitting loads to the ground. also
foundation known as substructure of the building.
Functions of foundation:
§ Evenly load Distribution of the structure
§ Reduction of load intensity
§ To prevent the lateral movement of supporting material
§ To increase stability of the structure
§ To safety against undermining
Types of foundation:
Foundations are classified in two types
Shallow foundation
Deep foundation
1. Shallow foundation
a.
Isolated footing
b.
Combined footing strap footing
c.
Grillage footing
d. Mat or raft footing
2. Deep foundation
a.
Piles foundation
b.
Cofferdams
c. Caissons foundation
