Wind-Induced Dynamic Analysis and Construction Measures of Large Diameter Spherical Tank

Abstract:

It is easy for the bulky spherical tank to take place wind-induced buckling under wind load, combined with the Daqing region specific practical engineering, simulation analysis of spherical tank system with 15.7m under random wind loads has been carried out by using ANSYS finite element software. The author investigates the mechanical properties of spherical tanks with the actions of self-weight and wind load, and obtains the deformation and stress distribution law of the tank, pillars and drawbars, at last construction suggestions of spherical tank is given, and these can provide technical support for improving the actual design for large spherical tank.
