Estimate water weight and wall pressure.

📐 Formula & Method

Weight = Vol × 1000 kg/m³. Pressure = Depth × 9.81 kN/m².

Pressure = h × 9.81

📋 Worked Example

2x2m tank, 1.5m deep water:
• Weight = 6,000 kg
• Pressure = 1.5 × 9.81 ≈ 14.7 kN/m²

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Why base pressure matters?

It determines the thickness and reinforcement of the tank bottom slab.
