Storage Volume and Load Distribution Calculations

The carousels provide annular storage space between the configurable center core and the inner wall (diameter 16.364 m, radius 8.182 m). Maximum fill height is 6.5 m. Calculated storage volumes (excluding packing efficiency for coiled products) and load intensities for the 1600-tonne capacity are:

• 4 m Core (inner radius 2 m): Storage area ≈ 197.75 m², volume ≈ 1285 m³, load intensity ≈ 8.09 T/m².
• 6 m Core (inner radius 3 m): Storage area ≈ 182.04 m², volume ≈ 1183 m³, load intensity ≈ 8.79 T/m².
