Research on Petrochemical Industry with Analysis of Floating Roof Tanks under the Planar Inclined Foundation
Floating roof tanks constructed in soft foundations are susceptible to settlement deflections. The most common settlement type is planar inclination. In this paper, the FEM is used for the study of deformation shape and stress distribution of floating roof tanks which have different diameter under the planar inclined foundation. The allowable settlement values were determined. And they were compared with the current national standard. The result indicated that the finite element analysis results were greater than the allowable values set in the current national standard. The allowable values set in current national standard for floating roof tanks under the condition of planar inclined foundation are conservative. Reasonable criteria should take into account the effects of structural response to the foundation displacements.
