All- Let me clarify a little: when looking at it without a lid I am assuming the concrete is stiff enough to maintain the slope all the way up. When looking at it with a lid I would have to assume full liquid (In simple terms, I know this is not true due to concrete properties, pour rate etc...)...
Thanks for your response,
This problem remindes me of a retaining wall design with a sloping back slope. If you were to analysis a retaining wall you would consider an additional "surcharge" load due to the back slope. I can image this being something similar.
If there is an additonal pressure...
On a wall form with varying height and a “Bulkhead Lid” I know that the pressure at 1 and pressure at 2 must equal each other, due to the hydrostatic paradox (Pascals law), assuming full liquid head. My question is what happens if this “Bulkhead Lid” is removed and the concrete is exposed?
Does...
