MODES OF VIBRATIONS OF FIXED-ROOF TANKS
DESCRIPTION OF STEEL TANKS MODELSModes of vibration of above ground storage steel tanks with fixed roofs, are obtained computationally with ABAQUS finite element program. Three different types of tank roof configuration are considered: dome-roof, cone-roof, plane-roof.The steel tank is considered empty, and self-supported roof.Three different diameter to height (D/H) ratios are considered for each tank roof configuration: D/H = 0.24, D/H =0.42, D/H = 0.63.
