Thanks for your willingness to help other engineers in the field of Structural Engineering.
Can you kindly guide us in the matter of proper horizontal Construction joints in the walls of a Water Tannk which is around 6.0 metres high? I would specially invite your attention on the factors that the location of joints, including the first joint at the base slab level/Kicker-Starter level and further as we gain height.
The contractor is ready to use 60cm X 120cm sized steel shuttering plates for the works.
Is it required to be with a water stop bar or a thorough scabbled joint is sufficient in this case? Also, kindly give insights into the special precautions we shall take due to the present hot summer weather and dry/humid winds that is normal in Kerala Conditions. The site is near the central area of Kerala.
Thanking you in advance,
