Pressure Due to Water Tank Collapse

Pressure Due to Water Tank Collapse

Conclusion

In tank without containment, the water splashes so high that it reaches to height of the district cooling plant main building & experiencing the maximum force of magnitude 650 MN and substation wall experiences the force of magnitude 30 MN. For tank with containment, the water is restricted to the containment wall due to which water splashes much higher than the previous case. The maximum normal force on the containment wall is of magnitude 2700 MN which is much higher than the previous case.
