 Circular wall
• Solution
• Note : if the wall of cross section are symmetrical then all the lengths of
steps are taken equal
• Note: If the wall of cross section are Unsymmetrical then all the lengths of
steps are calculated according to their width

• Internal diameter of the circular wall = 3.00 m
