Kindly check the above file. its a square elevated water tank. When i analysed, the top columns are experiencing extreme stresses while the lower columns have lower stresses. Kindly assist why this is the case.
The higher stresses on the top columns develop due to a higher bending moments on this columns
Thank you for the quick response. Now how can i avoid the higher stress on these columns? i am designing a 50m3 water tank. any suggestions
