Design of Swimming Pool
(OP)
Greetings All,
I have an enquiry regarding the structural design of swimming pool.
What I usually found on the internet and some Architect's drawings, they design the swimming pool using flat slab and retaining wall. Am I correct? Will it be recommended to design the swimming pool as beam-and-slab instead? This will take account the trench for the M&E pipe which will run across the swimming pool floor.
Thank you.

Jeez. If you're in the mood for sharing, I'd love to hear about the repair.
I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

It is a high liability design topic.....a structural material that cracks in order to perform, being water tight.
The biggest challenge in my personal experience is the amount of quality control you need to supervise the concrete crew
doing the job. Any mistakes and both of you are hung out to dry.

So when I design the swimming pool wall, I need to take extra precaution at the horizontal loading at the corner and make sure the reinforcement is enough to tackle that. Noted.
Have you all ever encounter swimming pool design for the floor where they use beam and slab system? Yes, the swimming pool will be in the ground (lower ground of the building)
Thanks.
