  • Abstract:
  • Water storage tanks are essential components of high-rise buildings, ensuring a reliable water supply for various purposes. This abstract presents a comparative analysis between Ferro Cement (FC) and Reinforced Concrete Cement (RCC) tanks, focusing on their suitability for a 1000-liter capacity in high-rise structures. WEIGHT: Ferro Cement tanks, owing to their construction with a thin layer of cement mortar over a skeletal structure of mesh reinforcement, exhibit significantly lighter weight compared to RCC tanks of similar capacity. This aspect is crucial for high-rise buildings where structural loads are carefully managed. COST: Ferro Cement tanks generally offer cost advantages over RCC tanks due to their simpler construction method and lower material requirements. However, the actual cost depends on factors such as labour costs, local market conditions, and the specific design requirements. Construction Time: Ferro Cement tanks typically require less time for construction compared to RCC tanks. The construction process involves forming the skeletal structure, applying layers of mortar, and curing, which can be accomplished relatively quickly compared to the more complex formwork and curing processes involved in RCC tank construction. Reduced construction time can contribute to overall project efficiency and timely completion of high-rise buildings. While both Ferro Cement and RCC tanks have their advantages and considerations, Ferro Cement tanks emerge as a favourable choice for high-rise building water storage applications due to their lighter weight, cost-effectiveness, comparable fire resistance, and shorter construction time.
