ok guys, suppose i wanted to build a round 8m diameter 1m high pool out of galvanized steel sheet. I will be filling it 0.7m with water.
I am aiming to reduce its cost so I am calculating the thinnest sheet i am allowed to use without it failing.
I will be using 7 sheets bolted together(each is 1m x 3.6m).
The pressure at the bottom (P=p.g.h) came out as 6867 Pa. Now how do i work with this information? I am guessing a circular distributed force which acts on the 7 unions?
Any ideas?
Thankss
