IS 3370 governs the design of:
Choose the correct answer
Concrete roads and pavements
Liquid-retaining concrete structures: water tanks, reservoirs, swimming pools
Prestressed concrete bridges only
Mass concrete dams
Correct Answer
B. Liquid-retaining concrete structures: water tanks, reservoirs, swimming pools
Why is this the answer?
IS 3370 (Concrete Structures for Storage of Liquids — Parts 1–4): Governs design of water tanks, swimming pools, reservoirs, and liquid-retaining structures. Key requirement: concrete must be crack-free (tension crack width < 0.1–0.2 mm) to prevent leakage. Uses WSM (working stress method) with reduced permissible stresses. Min reinforcement ratios higher than IS 456.
