Calculating backfill pressure under seismic excitation
Calculating backfill pressure under seismic excitation
(OP)
Can anyone suggest a reference that details the methodology in a step by step process to calculate the lateral pressure under seismic excitation on a buried concrete water storage tank? Does the Mononobe-Okabe apply to this type of structure?

Also, M-O is conservative for high walls whose natural period is much longer than the typical period of the ground motion.
