Standards New Zealand has published a revised Standard, Design of concrete structures for the storage of liquids, NZS 3106:2009, which supersedes NZS 3106:1986. The Standard provides design requirements and guidance, including design loads and seismic design criteria. NZS 3106 is a technical document used by engineers to design concrete tank structures for facilities such as water storage reservoirs and wastewater treatment plants. The Standard was revised in line with current practice and new technology, and to align with the loadings requirements given in the AS/NZS 1170 series of Standards (especially NZS 1170.5 Structural design actions – Earthquake actions).

This new edition of a successful engineering text provides an interpretation of the more theoretical guidance given in the new suite of Eurocodes for the subject of retaining structures. The book qualifies the extensive set of guides in terms of the design of these structures and provides a clear path through the process. It still discusses structural elements individually so that expertise can be applied to any situation likely to be encountered. The modifications, such as changes to surface zones, the critical steel ratio, the maximum crack spacing (flexural and imposed strain) and edge restraint, that have been introduced into the Eurocodes are highlighted and discussed in detail. The new suite of Eurocodes is claimed to be the most technically advanced codes in the world; the codes were developed with the intention of making them less restrictive than existing codes. The third edition reflects this philosophy by providing more theoretical background information and discussion, with specific reference to current and previous research, helping the reader to achieve a greater understanding and a wider application of the basic design guidance as the codes intended.
As such the book remains a vital tool for practising civil and structural engineers. 'This reincarnation of the classic RD Anchor textbook goes through the background to, and process of, designing reinforced concrete in liquid retaining structures. Similar in content, layout, style and small page format to earlier editions, this third edition has been almost completely rewritten and updated.is well researched, written and produced and it reads very well'. Concrete '.the text is comprehensive and lucid.is well researched, written and produced and it reads very well.this edition will become a great boon to its target audience of practising civil and structural engineers and postgraduate students'.
