In our rapidly advancing cities, the design and sustainability of critical infrastructure systems have become paramount. Among these, the foundation systems for water storage tanks are crucial, as they ensure the structural stability and longevity of reservoirs essential for municipal services and industry.<\/p>\n

Subsystem: Tank Foundation<\/strong>
\nThe foundation is a vital structural component that supports the tank and distributes its load to the underlying soil. A failure in the foundation directly compromises the tank\u2019s functionality. Consequently, selecting the most suitable foundation design during the planning phase is imperative.<\/p>\n

In this assignment, three foundation design options were compared: (1) Reinforced Concrete (RC A), (2) Prefabricated Modular RC (PRC B), and (3) Steel-RC Hybrid (RC C). All options serve the same function, as the tank size and water capacity remain constant across the designs.<\/p>\n
