Installed in the floor to allow groundwater into the pool if the external pressure exceeds the internal pressure, preventing the pool from "floating" out of the ground. 3. Key Design Calculations Key Design Calculations The external soil pressure and
The external soil pressure and potential groundwater (hydrostatic pressure) exert force inward and upward, which can cause "vessel heave" if not properly managed. 2. Core Structural Components
Designing a pool to code ensures safety and longevity. Key references include:
