I am designing a pump station wet well (8' Dia -pre-cast) and the design live load on top slab is the wheel load of
H-20 truck (16,000 Ib). the top slab is a pre-cast plate connected to the wet well walls by key joint so it can be removed. Is any transfered momonet or shear from the slab should be considered in the wet well walls design. If the slab is 1' above grade , should I consider any lateral force due to truck impact?
Thank you
