Research on the structural behavior and buckling of vertical, aboveground tanks employed
to store oil and fuels have significantly increased during the past two decades. Interest in this …

The present paper investigates the wind-induced buckling and vibration of cylindrical
storage tanks based on wind tunnel experiments and time-history response analysis. Focus …

The present paper investigates the wind resistant design of ring-stiffened open-topped
storage tanks based on finite element analyses, in which we use the distributions of wind …

This study focuses on the effect of lateral mass impact on ring-stiffened thin-walled
cylindrical shell. Cylindrical shells were fabricated to validate the numerical modeling and …

The authors focused on buckling resistance assessment of steel-I-section perfect beam-
columns of the cross-section class 1 and 2, not susceptible to LT-buckling and subjected to …

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 …

Aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) have suffered severe damage during past storm events,
resulting in the release of hazardous chemicals in the environment. For instance, more than …

This work presents the finite element analysis of partially stiffened cylinders subjected to
axial compression at elevated temperatures. The compressive strength is calculated for self …

Thin elastic circular rings under uniform pressure have been extensively studied by many
researchers. Both the deflection and buckling behavior of rings were considered in these …

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 …
