NOTE:
1. Walls perpendicular to the ground motion being investigated and in the leading half of the tank shall be loaded by the combined dynamic forces.
2. The dynamic force on the leading half of the tank will be additive to the hydrostatic force on the wall.
3. Walls in the trailing half of the tank shall be loaded by the dynamic force and the dynamic earth and groundwater pressure against the buried portion of the w
4. The dynamic force on the trailing half of the tank will reduce the effects of hydrostatic force on the wall.
