Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A municipal elevated water tank is 10 meters tall and holds 2000 kg of water. Calculate the base shear if the seismic acceleration is 0.3g. Discuss the influence of hydrodynamic pressure on the tank's design.

💡 Hint: Use the acceleration value for calculations and think about the implications of stress on materials.

Question 2

Design a ground-supported tank that must mitigate sloshing effects during an earthquake. Discuss your structural choices and the factors to consider for materials and forms.

💡 Hint: Think about how the geometry and material selections affect the structural response.
