Abstract:Liquid storage steel tanks are vertical above-ground cylindrical shells and as typical thin-walled structures, they are very sensitive to buckling under external pressures, especially when they are empty or at low liquid level. In this paper the results of numerical investigations on the effects of spiral stairway on the buckling behavior of steel cylindrical tanks subjected to external pressures are presented. Furthermore, a numerical study is performed to investigate the effects of internal corrosion on the … Show more
