Underground tank Stability against Buoyancy
Underground tank Stability against Buoyancy
(OP)
dear specialist
i`m going to design an underground water tank using soil above toe in addition to the tank dead weight , the GWT level at the grade level ,
the question is :
could i use a cement sand soil instead of clay soil ?
what is the soil submerged weight ?
what is the inclination angle to be considered ?? 40 , or less ??

So In answer: Yes: 60 #/cf : 20 degrees. This allows for possible construction work not being the best.
