In storing up water difficult area, this type of storge facility is more important. The advantages of Aqua-Bricks are large storage, high storage efficiency, easy to transport, high structural strength. Aqua-Bricks could be used to irrigating and conservation of water and soil. In foreign, structures combined ecolgy with storage are common. The wide variety of function lead to maximize the water. The design of Aqua-Bricks uses internal space to store water.Every Aqua-Bricks stacks each other layer by layer and would be buried in the ground. Aqua-Brick's tubes support the weight of the structure.This paper focuses on tube design to improve the storage efficiency.The objectives are improving the storage rate and strengthen the structural strength. This facility can be applied to the playground, parking and so on. First, we constructed geometry and calculated storage efficiency of water and weight of Aqua-Bricks by using cad software. we designed to shrinking the diameter of the middle part of tube for improving storage efficiency. In addition, designing the ribs in skrinking part strengthens the structual strength. We simulated four ribs and eight ribs design.According to simulation results, the four ribs design are more closed to the purpose.Then, we discussed the results of modal analysis.It’s can avoid resonance frequency.Last, we researched the influence with earthquake in order to confirm the safety of design. From the results, Aqua-Bricks’ storage efficiency reached to 95% and the weight of Aqua-Brick is 2.9Kg. This design can sustain 116200N weight. Every Aqua-Bricks is linked each other by hook.The board which dug hole in the surface is easy to osmsis for water. The board design is also very important in the paper.
