| description | Liquid storage structures represent an important component of modern infrastructure. They can take variety of shapes of which the conical shape is one of the most common configurations. Conical tanks are preferred by both architects and structural engineers because of their appealing look and structural efficiency in addition to their large capacities with relatively small footprint area. The state of stresses in these tanks is rather complicated and needs powerful computational tools. However, in the preliminary design phase, it is important to have a simplified analysis method for selection of economic design parameters including tank height, inclination angle, and footprint radius needed to achieve the desired tank capacity. It is also of importance that the structural engineer has an insight and understanding of the effect of these various parameters on the resulting internal forces acting on the tank. This paper presents a simplified analysis of conical tanks under hydrostatic loading based on the application of the membrane theory. The equations governing the behavior of these structures are first derived. Then, they are applied on several vessels of practical dimensions and the resulting of stresses are presented to give a deeper understanding of the resulting internal actions. Moreover, a simple guide to achieve efficient structural preliminary design parameters for a wide range of tank capacities is introduced. |
