this part at that side of the floor where you want to tap water. Tie the pipe to the reinforcement tomake sure it is fixed in position (see Fig. 5.8).figure 5.85.1.4 Preparing the wall reinforcementFind the length of reinforcement mesh in Table 7 under BRC mesh. Cut the right amount of materialfrom your roll and form into a cylinder with an overlap of two squares' minimum 300 mm. Tie theoverlap together with binding wire as done with floor reinforcement (see Fig. 5.9).figure 5.9At the bottom of the cylinder made out of reinforcement mesh, bend the vertical wire segmentshorizontally. Bend them alternately inwards and outwards, forming right angles. Move the cylinderonto the floor of the proposed tank and tie it to the floor reinforcement. Make sure the vertical meshforms a cylinder in good circular shape. This is achieved if the vertical reinforcement is at the samedistance to the external floor circle (Fig. 5.9).Now use the last remaining concrete, filling in the space underneath the wall inside and outside thewall reinforcement. Stamp the concrete down carefully and firmly. After this work is finished, coverthe floor and the edge outside with plastic, see Fig. 5.10, and keep it covered overnight. Do not workon the wall reinforcement. Next morning remove the cover and splash the concrete all over withwater. This- must be repeated every three hours throughout the day and throughout the entire job, atleast four times a day. Remember the strength of the concrete depends on good watering during the35
