The authors bridge the gap between IS 456 (General RCC) and IS 3370 (Water Retaining Structures). They explore the design of circular and rectangular tanks, discussing the unique considerations for water-tightness, temperature stresses, and shrinkage. This section elevates the book from a standard academic text to a practical manual for infrastructure engineers dealing with water works, a niche often ignored in competitor texts.
