The following cases arise:

case 1.
Tank is full and the surrounding soil is dry.
case 2.
Tank is empty and the surrounding soil is water logged.
case 3.
Tank is full and the surrounding soil is water logged.
case 4.
Tank is empty and the surrounding soil is dry.
Of the above, the worst two cases are the extreme cases
and the tank is to be designed for these cases.
