Buckling of Wind Loaded Cylindrical Shells — Application to Unstiffened and Ring-Stiffened Tanks

  • Conference paper
Buckling of Shells

Abstract

Shells of cylindrical storage tanks may buckle due to wind loading in the empty or partially filled state (Fig.l) -and in particular when they are subjected additionally to an internal operating vacuum or to large snow loads on the roof. Since on one hand the size of these tanks has been increased up to diameters of about 110 m and on the other hand the plate thickness of the tank-shells has been decreased gradually through use of high tensile steels, the stability problem of tank-shells became a problem of major importance in the recent years. Tank-shells damaged considerably by wind pressure are recorded in [l],[2].
