Buckling strength of cylindrical steel tanks under measured differential settlement: Harmonic components needed for consideration and its effect
AbstractIn practical engineering, the measured differential settlement can be gained by monitoring the points beneath the tank wall and it can induce the buckling of the tank even with a small amplitude. In general, Fourier series is adopted to decompose the measured differential settlement into harmonic components with various wave numbers. However, the question that which harmonic components should be considered is a main challenge for buckling investigations of the tank under measured differential settlement. In this work, a recommendation for harmonic components needed for consideration was proposed when decomposing measured differential settlement into harmonic components in terms of Fourier series. Moreover, the effects of the harmonic components considered on buckling behavior of floating roof tanks and conical roof tanks were discussed. The results presented that three monitoring points can make a first estimate of ovalling and the harmonic components considered should be smaller than and equal to [N]/3 ([] is the rounding function and N is the number of the monitoring points). The introduction of the harmonic component with a high wave number can cause the change of the buckling modes of the tanks under differential settlement, including floating roof tanks and conical roof tanks. Meanwhile, it can decrease the buckling strength of the floating roof tank more significantly than that of the conical roof tank.
