Unbalanced water pressure on walls
Unbalanced water pressure on walls
(OP)
For a swimming pool or water containing basin with an expansion joint, the water static pressure on one side of the basin is apparently not balanced. I wonder how to calculate the unbalanced pressure if a basin has an opening on a wall and the water falls down from the opening like a waterfall?
Thanks for comments in advance.

If there is a hole in the wall, water will flow from the side with higher head to the side with lower head. But that's a different problem.

You need to clarify the problem!

Basically, if there is a difference in water elevation between the two chambers, the wall must be designed for it. But if it's very small, it may be ignored.
