Reaction on Bottom
The plate must withstand hydrostatic pressure which distribute to all plate surfaces, The resistance load reaction on top and bottom section to balance
condition as follows :

see the angle profil table(AISC), used 1.5 x 1.5 x 1/4 with inertia 0.14 in4 ===> change the profil
The stiffenings may be attached to the tank wall either by intermittent or continuos welding may be placed inside or outside
