I need some help. We are analyzing an existing tank wall from 1973. It is 16" wide and 21' tall. It is part of a wastewater tank. We are designing a shoring system to add a wall on the other side of the wall. We have to drill 1 3/4" diameter holes, 10" deep in it for 1 1/4" anchors. The reviewing engineer believes this will cause the wall to crack. There is enough shrinkage and temperature steel in the wall.
Has anyone ever heard of a wall cracking because someone drilled some holes in it and added anchors to it?
