triangle with the same area as the trapezoid representing the actual load distribution. The intensity of load is
the same at middepth in both cases and when the wall
is supported at both top and bottom edges, the discrepancy between triangle and trapezoid has relatively little
effect at and near the supported edges
Shear Coefficients
Shear values along the edges of a tank wall are needed
for investigation of shear and development stresses.
Along vertical edges, shear in one wall is also used as
axial tension in the adjacent wall and must be combined
with bending moment to determine tensile reinforcement.
Various data for shear were computed and are given
in Table 7. The wall is considered fixed at the two vertical edges while top and bottom edges are assumed to
be hinged. The wall panel with width b and height a is
subject to hydrostatic pressure due to a liquid weighing
w lb per cubic foot.
The first five lines in Table 7 are shears per linear foot
in terms of wa*. The remaining four lines are total shears
in kips or pounds depending on how w is given. Shears
per linear foot are for ratios of b/a = %, 1,2, and infinity.
The difference between the shear for b/a = 2 and infinity
is so small that there is no necessity for computing coefficients for intermediate values.
When b/a is large, a vertical strip of the slab near midpoint of the b dimension will behave essentially as a
simply supported one-way slab. Total pressure on a
strip 1 ft wide is 0.50waz, of which two-thirds or 0.33wa2
is the reaction at the bottom support and one-third or
0.17wa2 is the reaction at the top. Note in Table 7 that
shear at midpoint of the bottom edge is 0.3290waz for
b/a = 2.0, the coefficient being very close to that of onethird for infinity. In other words, maximum bottom shear
is practically constant for all values of b/a greater than

b/a = 3.0, unit shear at midpoint of the bottom is0.33wa2
with hinged top but 0.45wa2 with free top-an increase
of approximately one-third.
Shear data were computed for wall panels with fixed
vertical edges. They can be appli$d with satisfactory
results to any ordinary tank wall even if vertical edges
are not fully fixed.

The largest moment occurs in the horizontal direction at the top of the corner common to both walls and
equals -0.092wa3 = -0.092 x 256 = -23.6 ft kips. The
negative sign simply indicates that tension is on the in-
10
With a free top, maximum M, = +0.045wa3 and maximum My = -0.092wa3. With a hinged top, maximum n/l,
= +0.052wa3 and maximum My = -0.053wa3. It is to be
expected that a wall with hinged top will carry more load
vertically and less horizontally, but it is worth noting that
maximum coefficient for vertical moment is only 13%
less for wall with free top than with hinged top.
Another noteworthy point is that maximum M, coefficient at y = 0 is +0.069 for a free top but +0.018 for a
hinged top. Adding top support causes considerable
reduction in horizontal moments, especially at y = 0.
Maximum moment is -0.053~~1~ = -0.053 x 256 =
-13.6 ft kips.
Maximum moment in a vertical strip is M = 0.052~~1~ =
0.052 x 256 = 13.3 ft kips. Axial compression (N) on the
section subject to this moment, and loads per linear foot
can be taken as follows:
8-ft-high wall: 8 x 1 .08 x 0.150 = 1.3 kips
12-in. top concrete slab: 0.150 x20/2 = 1.5 kips
3-ft fill on top of slab: 0.300 x 20/2 =3.0 kips
Live load on top of fill: 0.100 x 20/2 = 1 .O kips
6.8 kips
It is conservative to check compressive stress forN =
6.8 kips and to design tensile steel for N = 1 .3 + 1.5 = 2.8
kips, in which fill and live load are disregarded.
Multicell Tank
Multicell tanks do not lend themselves readily to mathematically accurate stress analysis It is possible, however, with the tables presented here for single-cell tanks
and for individual wall panels with fixed vertical edges to
estimate moment coefficients for symmetrical multicell
tanks with sufficient accuracy for design purposes. While
results obtained by the following procedure are approximate and should therefore be considered as a guide to
engineering judgment, the procedure does give a conservative design.
Because a rotation of one corner has comparatively
little effect on moments at adjacent corners in atankwith
wall panels supported on three or four sides, moments in
the walls of a multicell tank are essentially the same as
in single-cell tanks-except at corners where more than
two walls intersect. Moment coefficients from Tables 5
and 6, designated as L coefficients, apply to outer or Lshaped corners of multicell tanks (see Fig. 4a) as well as
to interior sections in all walls, that is, sections designated as y = b/4, y = 0, z = c/4, and z = 0. Moment coefficients for design sections at corners where more than
two panels intersect depend on the loading condition
producing maximum moment and on the number of intersecting walls.
In Fig. 4b, three walls form a T-shaped unit. If the continuous wall, or top of the T, is part of the long sides of
two adjacent rectangular cells, the moment in the continous wall at the intersection is maximum when both
cells are filled. The intersection is then fixed and moment coefficients, designated as F coefficients, can be
taken from Tables 1, 2, or 3, depending on edge conditions at top and bottom. These three tables cover panels
with fixed side edges. If the continuous wall is part of the
short sides of two adjacent rectangular cells, moment
at one side of the intersection is maximum, when the cell
on that side is filled while the other cell is empty. Likewise the end moment in the center wall is maximum
when only one cell is filled. For this loading condition the
magnitude of moment will be somewhere between theL
coefficients and the F coefficients. If the unloaded third
wall of the unit is disregarded, or its stiffness considered
negligible, moments in the loaded walls would be the
same as in Fig. 4a, that is, the L coefficients apply. If the
third wall is assumed to have infinite stiffness, the corner
is fixed and the f coefficients apply. The intermediate
value representing more nearly the true condition can
be obtained by the formula:
End moments = L -nG2(i -F)

joint filler, but both iron powder and lead are not always
readily available. A waterstop may not be needed in the
construction joints when the vertical joint in Fig. 9 is
made watertight.
In Fig. 10 a continuous concrete base slab is provided
either for transmitting the load coming down through the
wall or for upward hydrostatic pressure. In either case,
the slab deflects upward in the middle and tends to rotate the wall base in Fig. 10 in a counterclockwrse
direction. The wall therefore is not fixed at the bottom edge.
It is difficult to predict the degree of restraint. The rotation may be great enough to make the bottom edge
hinged or may be even greater. Under the circumstances it is advisable to avoid placing moment reinforcement across the joint and to cross the dowels at
the center. The waterstop must then be placed off center as indicated. Provision for transmitting shear through
direct bearing can be made by inserting a key as in Fig. 9
or by a shear ledge as in Fig. 10.
