Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design an elevated water tank for a site classified under seismic zone IV. You must account for hydrodynamic pressures, sloshing effects, and potential failure modes.

💡 Hint: Focus on the properties of water under dynamic conditions and structural integrity.

Question 2

Given a scenario where an elevated tank has experienced staging collapse due to slenderness, evaluate what design changes could have prevented this failure.

💡 Hint: Consider how increasing strength and width affects overall stability.
