The model shows an embedded double-chamber container made of glass fiber reinforced plastic (GRP) that is optimized for uplift loads. The focus is on the orthotropic shell structure of the container and the effects of earth pressure and uplift forces. Optimization methods are used to ensure efficient container bedding and structural safety.
