Wall Design and Structural Analysis

The document provides details for designing an end wall of a water tank as a cantilever member. It includes dimensions of the wall, soil properties, water pressure calculations, and reinforcement design details. Reinforcement is designed for vertical and horizontal bars on the soil and water faces to resist bending moments from soil and water pressure loads. Calculations are shown to check the depth and thickness required is provided, and to verify stresses in the concrete are within allowable limits. Reinforcement sizes and spacing are selected to satisfy design requirements.
