In order to design the wall, take the base of the wall as fixed support and
analyse it for two load cases (I.e. chamber at full capacity and empty)

Note:
The unit weight of the liquid could have be used to derived the moment and shear
force but the earth/fill unit weight was used because the wall is subjected to
pressure on both faces and that of the earth pressure override the hydrostatic
pressure.
Moment coefficient
For top hinge, bottom fixed
- Negative corner moment
( my = mx and mz,y, = mz, x)
mx = 0.02, mz,x = 0.004

- Positive moment for span lx mx = 0.013

- Positive moment for span ly my = 0.003
- Negative moment at bottom

mx = 0.007, mz, x = 0.039, mz,

= 0.006

my = 0.001

- Positive moment for span lz

mz, x = 0.013
