Hi,
I am in the early process of designing a pool. Are reinforced concrete pools designed based on retaining walls or cantilever slabs fundamental principles? And what is the general process to pool design? I was told by one of my colleagues that it should be designed as a retaining wall with two load conditions: 1.) Full Pool and 2.) Empty pool (the latter of which usually governs). I was just hoping for some advice on the general design process. Thank you
