Thermal pressure due to an ice cap in an elevated water tank
Ice formations have contributed to the deterioration observed in elevated reinforced concrete water tanks in Ontario. Pressures exerted by an ice cap contained within a circular tank and subjected to an increase in temperature are studied in this paper. A mathematical model for simulation of ice is...
