representative of most foundation conditions. Temperature of hot tanks under consideration for the use of solar energy storage range from 2000 to 8l6°C •. The behavior of foundation soils under such high temperatures would dictate the design specifications of foundations for direct support of the storage tanks. The effects of the hot tank upon the two soil models were anlayzed in terms of soil structure, soil/tank interaction and environmental problems in the case of spillage of the hot liquids. Show Less
