The Intze principle is a name given to two engineering principles both named after the hydraulic engineer Otto Intze. In the one case the Intze principle relates to a type of water tower, in the other a type dam. Circular tanks with flat bottom as well as with domical bottom: In the flat bottom the thickness and reinforcement is found to be heavy. In the domed bottom though the thickness and reinforcement in the dome is normal, the reinforcement in the ring beam is excessive. Therefore in the cases of large diameter tanks and economical alternative would be to reduce its diameter at its bottom by conical dome. Such a tank is known as Intze tank and is very commonly used. The main advantage of Intze tank is that the inward radial thrust of the conical bottom balances the outward radial thrust of the spherical bottom.
