Structure Analysis of Large Steel Crude Oil Tank under the Planar Inclined Foundation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Large steel crude oil tanks constructed in soft foundations are susceptible to various types of settlement deflections. The most common type is planar inclined foundation. In this paper, the FEM is used for the study of deformation characteristic and stress distribution of large steel crude oil tank under the planar inclined foundation approaching to critical value. Results show that deformation characteristic of tank is unevenness; max stress in tank shell occurs in middle-low part of floating roof tank; the ultimate value of large steel crude oil tank under the planar inclined foundation is 0.89m.
