\u00a0Ontology<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Purpose:<\/h4>\n

To encapsulate essential concepts crucial for the conceptual design phase of water storage tanks, specifically emphasizing structural analysis of frame supported tanks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Scope:<\/h4>\n

It\u00a0includes various concepts such as the physical components of water storage tanks, material possibilities, tank types, and their interrelations, and it presents an exemplar individual representing a frame-supported elevated water storage tank, including its needed properties for analyzing the loads that will be generated from it and supported by the frame.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Intended Users:<\/h4>\n

Designers and engineers of the design process of elevated water storage tanks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Intended Use:<\/h4>\n

Guiding\u00a0designers and engineers in understanding the critical parameters for structural design of the elevated water storage tanks.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Parametric Model<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Purpose:<\/h4>\n

To support structural analysis and seismic design process of the elevated water storage tanks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Parameters:<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • Cylindrical shape<\/li>\n
  • Steel as the main material (it can be set to different material on the model)<\/li>\n
  • Height of the tank (Ht)<\/li>\n
  • Radius of the tank (r)<\/li>\n
  • Water filling height (Hw) (first design considers tank is 100% filled with water, however it is possible to design with different percentages on the model)<\/li>\n
  • Ratio of height of the water (Hw) to the radius of the tank (r): 0.7 < Hw\/r < 2 (this ratio influences seismic loads due to the tank (with the exact location properties of the tank) and defined range is the optimal for the seismic loads)<\/li>\n
  • Hw\/ Ht (percentage of water filling)<\/li>\n
  • Thickness of the tank shell (tt) (assumed 0.02m, can be set different)<\/li>\n
  • Thickness of the base floor (tb) (assumed plate and 0.03m, can be set different)<\/li>\n
  • Thickness of the roof (tr) (assumed plate and 0.01m, can be set different)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

     <\/p>\n

    High Performance Criteria:<\/h4>\n
      \n
    • \u00a0Structural Integrity: The optimum capacity and weight for dead and seismic loads for safety.<\/li>\n
    • Use of Materials: The optimum amount of materials and uniformity for reducing complexity and costs (cylindrical shape and steel as the material are selected).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
