I have an Engineering Math Puzzle
I'm trying to build a pool on the side of a mountain.
We dug down to bedrock and we've built a stone box on the hillside that is roughly 30' x 30' x 6' high that is reinforced with concrete and rebar. the base of the walls are 5' thick and the tops are 3'.
My plan was to fill it with crushed stone and a fiberglass pool (16X24 +-), which is about 70 tons of water.
How do I calculate what the outward pressure on the walls will be once i fill it with crushed stone and a 70 ton bowl of water?
