Lyubomir Zdravkov
2007 unpublished
New tendency of design of steel roofs of cylindrical tanks is to put cover plates under steel structure. This type of roof has only radial girders. Joints between cover plates are made with overlapping and filled welds. Usually these joints are single-welded. The author made research about real work of the thin roof cover plates and filled welds. Comparison between traditional methods of design and nonlinear solution with ANSYS is made.
