5m x 4m with depth of storage 3m, resting
on ground and whose walls are rigidly
joined at vertical and horizontal edges.
Assume M20 concrete and Fe415 grade
steel. Sketch the details of reinforcement in
the tank

Step4: Design for Horizontal moment
Horizontal moments at the corner in long and
short wall produce unbalanced moment at the
joint. This unbalanced moment has to be
distributed to get balanced moment using
moment distribution method.
