& deflection.

CASE -A

Tank Height = 1250 mm

Tank length = 2000 mm
Tank width = 1250 mm

Elastic modulus = 2.7*E+7 psi

stiffener (I) 45 cm

Adopted plate
thickness = 10 mm

As here in this tank unstiffened size of the tank is 800 x 800 mm

so load on unstiffened area will as follows.

= 3.1392 N/mm

If a=0 and wl =wa (uniform load on entire span) then

Conclusion =

On above both the cases deflection is less than one half of the adopted plate
thickness.
