The document provides three design problems related to retaining walls and water tanks: 1) It asks to check the stability of a cantilever retaining wall and design a shear key if required. Dimensions and properties are provided. 2) It asks to design two circular water tanks: a) with flexible wall-base connection resting on firm ground, and b) with restrained walls resting on ground. Dimensions are given. 3) It asks to design the cylindrical wall, bottom dome, and ring beam of a double dome water tank, with dimensions provided. It also provides two bridge design problems and asks for a note on IRC bridge loadings.
