Mathematical Modeling:
A cantilever wall is modeled considering 1m width and taking depth as thickness of wall.
Due to the virtue of curvature, wall will not have simple cantilever behavior. The wall is
modeled as a beam on elastic foundation, the wall is divided in to ten equal parts and springs
are assigned at each node. Loading is taken as water pressure distribution; mathematical
model is shown in Fig.1a.

Where E = 5000fck = 500030 = 27386
N/mm2. T=thickness of the wall= 300mm
Therefore K=59.2x103.

modeled as a beam on elastic foundation, the wall is divided in to ten equal parts and springs
are assigned at each node. To account for the increase in the stiffness due to the platform at
