Development of Proposed European Design Rules for Buckling of Axially Compressed Cylinders
Thin axially compressed cylinders are used in a wide range of civil engineering shell structures: towers, chimneys, tanks and silos. Design standards throughout in the world differ considerably in their strength predictions, and all are based on empirical lower bounds to laboratory test results. The chief reason for the scatter in strength assessments is the sensitivity to geometric imperfections, which naturally vary from one laboratory to another and according to the method of fabrication. This paper sets out some of the development behind the new proposed rules for the European standard on Strength and Stability of Shells. These rules cover cylinder buckling under axial compression alone, and the strength of internally pressurised cylinders. The design strengths are related to recent calculated buckling strengths, and an attempt is made to indicate the appropriate relationship between design assumed imperfections and tolerances during construction.
