Explanation:

Rankine method 

  • The Rankine method is primarily used in geotechnical engineering for analyzing earth pressure.
  • It helps calculate lateral earth pressure on retaining walls or other structures.
  • It considers soil as an elastic-perfectly plastic material.

 Additional InformationReissner’s method

  • Reissner's method is often used in structural analysis, particularly for the study of thin plates and shells.
  • It's a mathematical approach that considers the effects of both shear deformation and normal deformation in plate structures.

BIS code method

  • The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) provides codes and standards for various engineering applications.
  • While these codes offer guidelines and specifications for construction practices, they are not a specific method like the others listed.
  • BIS codes are often referenced in the design process to ensure that structures comply with established standards.

Carpenter’s simplified method 

  • Carpenter's simplified method is a simplified approach to analyze and design water tanks.
  • It takes into account the hoop tension and bending moments in the tank wall.
  • It simplifies the calculations for practical use while still providing a reasonable level of accuracy.
