SPECIFiCATION FOR
PRECAST CONCRETE SEPTIC TANKS
O.FOREWORD
0.1This- Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution
on 30 June 1981, after the draft finalized by the Cement and Concrete
Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division
Council.
0.‘2 Many small towns and innumerable villages suffer from the absence of
hygienic means for the disposal of sewage. Concrete septic tanks offer
a very economical and convenient solution to this problem, both far private
residences and for small communities. Apart from the simplicity of cons-
truction of concrete septic tanks, one of their greatest advantages is that
maintenance is very simple and does not require sustained attention. The
sludge is required to be removed at intervals of about 6 months to one
year.
0.3 A concrete septic tank built of precastunits makes possible the installa-
tion of a complete home sanitation system in a short time. Use of this tank
eliminates mixing concrete at the job and requires no special equipment for
handling units. Mass production of precast concrete tanks at central plants
simplifies inspection, lowers cost and improves quality.
03.1 Construction of septic tanks with precast concrete units is an
advantage where a larger number of tanks have to be built in out of the way
places, because precasting of elements makes possible the speedy erection of
a number of tanks and reduces, to a great extent, the employment of skilled
labour at site.
0.4 This standard covers the requirements of precast concrete septic tanks of
small capacities. For recommendations on capacities, size, etc, reference
has been made to IS : 2470 ( Part I )-1968” and IS : 2470 ( Part II )-1971t in
this standard. Typical construction details of a rectangular septic tanks are
also givep in this standard.
0.5 For the purpose of .deciding whether a particular requirement of_
this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated,

*Code of practice for design and construction of septic tanks: Part I Small installa-
tions (firs! revision ).
*Code of practice for design and construction of septic tainks: Part II Large installa-
tions (first revision ).

effluent of domestic sewage of houses, flats and such other residential
buildings, where‘ the number of users does not exceed 50 persons, reference
may be made to IS : 2470 ( Part I )-1968t. For housing colonies, hostels,
and boarding schools where the number of users range from 50 to 300,
reference may -be made to IS : 2470 ( Part II )- 197 1$.

NOTE- Figure 1 gives details of a septic tank of 1 800 litres capacity. The capacity
of the tank may be increased by corresponding changes in the dimensions of the
precast units recommended below:

Precast Increase in Dimensions* Modified

Unit Over Those Indicated Ca&“.
in Fig. I, cm
Side slab 30 2 070
End slab 30 2 400
Both side and 30 2 760
end slabs

3.2.1 General - Plain concrete base slabs of 10 cm thickness shall be

provided with 40 mm deep grooves in them. The two top slabs of the long
walls shall also have grooves in them to insert the 40 mm thick precast
concrete baffle. The top of the tank shall consist of precast concrete cover
slabs as they permit opening up of the tank for cleaning, inspection, repairs,
etc. The connection of precast units shall be effected as shown in Fig. 1.
3.2.2 Forms - The forms for #he wall, floor, baffle and cover slabs shall
conform to the required shapes and sizes. By adhering meticulously to the
details given in the form drawings, the concrete slabs produced will fit
properly and can be erected rapidly. Wooden forms, when properly made,
are satisfactory. Since the forms have to be reused many times, a wood
that will not warp easily shall be used and it shall be well-seasoned and free
from knots. A thin metal tubing for inserts in theholes of the divider strips
shall be used to make removal easier and also to prolong the usefulness of
the form.
3.2.2.1 The built-up sections shall be glued with a water-proof glue and
nailed. All new forms shall be soaked with light oil before initial use, then
thoroughly cleaned, and re-oiled each time they are filled. They shall be kept
on a flat surface, preferably under clamps or weights, and in the shade when
not in use.
3.2.2.2 The forms shall be bolted tightly to the platform to assure
production of slabs of uniform thickness. Forms shall be discarded when
the concrete slabs made in them do not fit properly. After forms are
assembled and before each use, each piece shall be checked to make sure
that it is straight before setting it on the casting platform.
3.2.2.3 When a large number of tanks are produced, steel forms made
from angles and solid bars may be more economical. The samecasting plat-
form shall be used for either wooden or steel forms, so that a change from
wood to steel can be made at any time.

*The dimensions of the-bottom and top slabs also~should be increased suitably.

 is:!m2-1981

32.3 Reinforcement - The reinforcements in the wall slabs shall consist

uf at least 6 mm dia bars at 10 cm centres bothways placed in the centre of
slabs. The baffle and floor slabs shall be provided with a minimum
reinforcement of 0.15 percent of gross sectional ,area. The cuver slabs shall
be reinforced with 5 bars of 8 mm dia for tanks up to 90.cm width, and 4
bars of 10 mm dia for those 110 cm wide, located 20 mm from the bottom
of slabs. Two short pieces of mild steel bars shall be bent to make handles
for cover slabs.
NOTE- The reinforcement recommended refers to mild steel reinforcement.

3.2.4 Casting - The casting bed shall be cleaned and oiled to prevent
sticking. of the slabs. The concrete shall be so spaded and tamped in the
formscthat all corners and shaped joints will be completely filled to produce
smooth surfaces free from honeycomb or rough spots. Reinforcement
placed after the form is screeded half-full of concrete, shall remain in that
position as the form is filled. , The surface shall be screeded, floated,
and smooth-troweled flush with the top of the form. After hardening for
24 hours, in warm weather under wet covering, the outer forms shall be
removed and the slab slid off the platform by using tapered wooden pegs or
suitable steel bolts as handles inserted in the holes provided in slab ends at
the time of casting. When picked up by these pegs or bolts, the slab shall
swing down in position for its erection in the tank and it shall then be
stacked on edge for further wet curing.

3.2.5 Curing and Maturing - The period of curing shall not be less than
7 days. From the date of casting, the precast units shall be matured for
the following periods before testing or despatch, including the period of
curing, so that they will attain sufficient strength to ‘resist damage to them
when first handled:

Cement used
Portland slag cement
Ordinary Portland cement ] 28 days
Portland pozzolana cement J
Rapid-hardening Portland cement 14 days
3.2.6 Assembling the Tank - The digging for the septic tank shall first -be
carried out and then the bottom covered with fine dry earth or dry sand,
tamped and finally, screeded to a level surface. Care shall be taken
to compact the foundation base adequately to avoid unequal settlement.
3.2.6.1 The following procedure is recommended for assembling. the
tank units:
a) Wet all concrete surfaces thoroughly to ensure bond for the grout.

9
IS : 9872- 1981

b> Lower bottom slabs by rope slings attached to handling pins

in holes at slab ends: The centre slab is first placed in proper posi-
tion, then end slabs are set carefully fitting grooves in which cement
grout has been spread against the tongues of the centre slab.
Cl Check slabs to see that they are square and level, then fill all grooves
in surface of bottom slabs with cement grout.
4 Set bottom side slabs in centre of 40 mm receiving grooves of the
bottom slab. Remove excess grout. I-look two space-spreaders
over the top edges of these slabs near the ends to hold them
in position while being levelled.
Lower and hook bottom end slabs over the dovetailed end joints.
Check the first section erected-for square and matching corners.
Pour cement grout ( Portland cement and water mixed to proper
consistency ) in the upper grooved edges of all slabs.
h) Lower and fit in place middle side slabs.
3 Fit, in the same manner, the top end slabs and finally top side slabs,
and baffle, after filling each horizontal joint with cement grout.
3.2.6.2 Immediately after the tank is assembled, earth backfill shall be
tamped in place around the tank while ‘grout in joints is still plastic.
A fillet of mortar, mixed with one part Portland cement and two parts clean
sand, is next placed from the top ta bottom in the inside corner of the tank
to seal the dovetailed joints, This triangular fillet shall be at least 5 cm
thick at its centre and may be a run of stiff mortar placed with a trowel and
shaping block, or placed behind a 2.5 x 10 cm strip used across the corner as
a form.
3.2.6.3 Excess grout shall be scraped from all joints inside the tank
leaving smooth, well compacted surfaces. A fillet of mortar 5 cm thick as
placed in vertical corners shall then be well compacted and shaped at the
joint between the precast bottom and walls of the tank. When this water
seal has hardened, the tank shall be filled with water to a depth of at least
15_cm for this joint to cure under water.
3.2.6.4 The top surfaces of the tank shall be cleaned and wetted, and
al:2 cement mortar applied and levelled. Strips cf paper shall be laid
over this fresh, soft mortar to prevent cover slabs from bonding to it when
placed in position without sacrificing a close fit. Lap joints of the cover
slabs need not be grouted. The top of the tank may either be flush with or
approximately 30 cm below the ground surface. The vent pipe shall extend
above the ground level.
3.2.6.5 Cast in situ concrete may be used for the tank floor if the top of
the digging cannot be readily levelled for precast slabs. In this case, bricks
are set on edge at corners and the side and end slabs erected on them.

10
 i
IS:9872-1981

Next concrete of grade M 15 and of mushy consistency is placed, so that the

bottoms of side and end slabs are embedded at least 40 mm in the concrete.
A minimum reinforcement of 0-l 5 percent of sectional area shall be provided
for the cast in situ floor slabs.
3.2.7 Tank Connections - Ordinarily, T-pipes ( see Fig. 1 Longitudinal
Section ) for inlet and outlet in the tank may prove satisfactory. However,
slots for baffle are easily provided in the required position by embedding
tapered strips in the side slabs when casting. Y or L pipe may beused
in the top end slabs as may be required locally.

4. FINISH
4.1 Each unit shall have a dense surface showing no coarse aggregate and
&all have do cfevices likely to assist in the disintegration of concrete or
rusting of reinforcement. Each unit and its edges shall be so finished that
when assembled, the PTpfic tank is watertight.

5. SAMPLING AND CRITERIA FOR CONFORMlTY

5.1 Scale of Sampling
5.1.1 Lot - In any batch, all units of the same type and same dimensions
shall be grouped together to constitute a lot.
5.1.1.1 Sub-lot - If the number of units in a lot exceeds 500, the lot
shall be divided into a suitable number of sub-lots such that the number of
units in any sub-lot shall not exceed 500. The acceptance or otherwise of a
sub-lot shall be determined on the basis of a sample selected from it.
5.1.1.2 The number of units to be selected froma lot or a sub-lot shall
depend upon its size and shall be in accordance with Table 1.
5.1.1.3 The sample shall be selected at random. In ordei to ensure
randomness, all units in the lot or the sub-lot may be arranged in a serial
order and starting from any unit, every rth unit may be included in the
sample, r being the integral part -of N/n, where N is the size of the lot or sub-
lot and n, the sample size.

5.2 Number of Tests

~5.2.1All the units selected as per 5.1.1.2 shall be checked for dimensions
and finish.

5.3 Criteria for Conformity

5.3.1 A lot or sub-lot shall be considered as conforming to this specifica-
tion if the conditions under 5.3.2 are satisfied.

11
