rectangular tank design and analysis
question:
i saw this subject discussed on
i doubt the horizontal span will take any significant amount of load. design the vertical cantilever to take all the load and put in some horizontal rebar for shrinkage.
well, your vertical wont do a whole lot if it is not tied properly to the footing (to create cantilever action).  so i disagree with csd.  i guess you need to know what kind of reinforcement first it has especially the dowel into the footing.  how big is the footing?  is it safe to assum the bottom is fully fixed?
never, but never question engineer's judgement
ooopss.. assuming 4 instead of 7 is not conservative.  you need to model it .
