CHAPTER 2
Water Pressure and Pressure Forces
Instructor:
Eng. Abdallah Odeibat
Civil Engineer, Structures , M.Sc.
1
2.1 THE FREE SURFACE OF WATER
 When water fills a containing vessel, it automatically
seeks a horizontal surface on which the pressure is
constant everywhere.
 In practice, a free water surface is one that is not in
contact with an overlying vessel cover.
 A free water surface may be subjected to atmospheric
pressure (open vessel) or any other pressure that is
exerted within the vessel (closed vessel).
2
2.2 ABSOLUTE AND GAUGE PRESSURES
 A water surface in contact with the earth's atmosphere
is subjected to atmospheric pressure, which is
approximately equal to a 10.33-m-high column of water
at sea level.
 In still water, any object located below the water
surface is subjected to a pressure greater than
atmospheric pressure.
 This additional pressure is often referred to as
hydrostatic pressure. More precisely, it is the force per
unit area acting in a normal direction on the surface of
a body immersed in the fluid (in this case water).
