I'm designing verticle supports for flat plate walls & ends of a rectangular water tank. The wall (tank) height is 10'0".
The length is 40'0", and the weidth is 8'6".

I'm having a problem with how to figure my internial loadings that the water will impose on the flat walls. I know there will be the actual weight of the water. Will I need to conceder any hydrostatic pressure?, & if so, how do I go about this.

Thanks,
Scooter

For a static case, the wall pressure is simply 62.4*d in psf, with d = depth from top. It's a triangular loading starting at 0 psf at the top (d = 0) to 624 psf at the bottom (d = 10') pushing perpindicular to the wall.

Thanks for the reply & answer. It seems so simple when I read it. I think sometimes i'm going "Brain Dead".

Thanks again,

Scooter
