Water reservoir design actions

[Jackoe]

I am in the stages of designing a water reservoir. With static backfill pressures how do I find the vertical, horizontal bending moments and shears in the concrete wall?The reservoir is not being stressed. The wall in effect will act as a retaining wall and will be full fixed into the foundation. Is there any literature which will help me find the actions in the wall when I know the pressures in the wall. Even something that would tell me the percentage of load converted to membrane shear and bending moment.

Any help would be appreciated

If it is a rextangular wall, the best publication I know of, is "Moments & Reactions for Rectangular Plates" by W T Moody. It is a Water Resources Technical Publication - Engineering Monograph No. 27.
The last reprint that I have, is July 1970, so it may now be out of print.
It has 5 different plate edge conditions (such as fixed on three sides & free on top), with 11 different loading cases. These vary from uniform load for full height, 2/3 height, 1/3 height, various combinations of water loading etc.
Each plate has an 'a' dimension of half width, & a 'b' dimansion of full height. The plates have vertical & horizontal moments & reactions for a/b configurations from 1/8 to 3/2.
