Design and Non-Linear Modeling of New Wind Girder Used for Bolted Tanks

Design and Non-Linear Modeling of New Wind Girder Used for Bolted Tanks

Large-capacity bolted cylindrical tanks for liquid storage are used in many applications. The tanks are made of thin steel sheets that are connected by bolts. A common problem associated with tanks is deforming under extreme loads. Adding wind girders to the tank increases the tank’s buckling capaci...
