1 Solution, general:- There are four components of design.
(I) Design of long wall (II) Design of short wall
(III) Design of roof slab (IV) Design of base slab
The design of walls will be done under two condition.
(a) Tank full with water, with no earth fill out side.
(b) Tank empty, with full earth pressure due to saturated earth fill.

3 Design of Long wall :-
(a) Tank empty with pressure satureted soil from outside.

Direct compression in long walls:- The earth pressure acting on short walls will cause compression
in long walls, because top portion of shorts walls act as slab supported on long walls
At h = 3.00 / 4 = 0.75 or 1.00 m above the base of walls .

This direct compression devloped on long walls and wall section.
This will be well taken by distribution steel and wall section

The base slab will be designed for uplift pressure and the hole tank is to be tasted against floatation. As the
L/B ratio is greater than 2 the long wall will be designed as cantilever. The bottom one metre ( >H /4) of short
walls will be designed as cantilever while the top portion will designed as slab supported by long walls .
