Why a larger base allows for better load-bearing capacity
Thread Content
For three-legged tanks, why with the same thickness of base, if it is made larger it’s fine, but if it is made smaller it cracks? Is there any expert in mechanics who can analyze this?
The larger the area, the lower the pressure per unit area.
What size should the civil engineering foundation be? Is it equal to the maximum weight of the tank when it is full, divided by the bearing capacity per unit area of the local soil, then multiplied by an expansion factor?
