Proper care should be taken, while design the water retaining structures.
As per dear friend "ykhackhack", Pool should be designed for empty conditions, because in this case, there will not be any counter pressure acting. so Max tension will be consider.
Moody's chart should be used for determining the constant in designing for Water Retaining Structure.
