Abstract
Storage tanks are above or below ground vessels for storing chemicals, petroleum
and other liquid products. Above ground vertical cylindrical shells are typically
thin walled structures prone to buckling and lose their stability especially when
they are empty or have lower fluid level due to external loads.
According to the Swedish National board of Housing, Building and Planning
(Boverket), the Eurocodes and the Swedish national annex and building code for
structural design, EKS (BFS 2011:10) should be used for verification of
mechanical resistance of storage tanks. However the industry has been using a
European design standard EN14015, for design of large site built steel tanks. The
research question is if this design fulfils the requirements in the Swedish building
code EKS and the Eurocodes. In order to investigate this, a parametric study of the
buckling resistance of an empty tank has been performed, by comparing the design
according to EN14015 With the requirements according to the Swedish building
code and the Eurocodes. The finite element analysis was done with the finite
element tool ABAQUS,
The parametric study was carried out for three terrain categories0, I and II, for the
six snow load zones and for six basic wind velocities according to the Swedish
snow and wind maps in EKS. The buckling resistance also further investigated for
three reliability classes, reliability class 1, 2 and 3 according to the Swedish
national annex and for two fabrication classes, fabrication class A and B using
EN1991-1-6
The finite element analysis result of linear elastic and nonlinear buckling analysis
with imperfections showed that, design according to EN14015 can meet the
requirements of Eurocodes and EKS at lower basic wind velocities, terrain category
(I and II) for smaller imperfections . But it does not meet the requirements at terrain
category-0, for all reliability classes and all imperfection classes.
The tank shell showed in some cases an increase in the load proportionality factor
in nonlinear analysis for the load combinations considered in this study. It is thus
necessary to study further on the finite element modelling of thin walled large tanks
on relations of local buckling effect due to highly stiffened regions and the effect of
magnitudes and applications of imperfections for large tanks using EN1993-1-6

1. Introduction
Storage tanks are part of many industries for storing chemicals, petroleum products or
any fluids or gases at ambient/elevated/low temperature. Tanks could be classified as
either above or below ground [1]. Above ground storage tanks are constructed just above
the ground or at higher elevation using structural supports. In an industrial set-up both
above and below ground steel tanks are widely used to store water, petroleum and other
chemical fluids. Above ground steel tanks can either be vertical cylindrical or horizontal
but vertical cylindrical vessels are used mostly and built with flat bottoms that rest
directly on prepared ground.
Being in possession of a tank leads to the responsibility of ensuring that the tank doesn't
affect the environment through leakage of chemicals or petroleum and other hazardous
fluids. Tanks that contain flammable fluids have to be inspected regularly by an
accredited control organization and have to follow the rules of several actors [2].These
rules and regulations are all laws written by the parliament combined with regulations
written by the government and regulations written by several authorities. They all have to
be applied when designing of tanks as well as directives from EU [3].
Vertical above ground tanks are used in many industries to store water, oil, fuel, chemical
and other fluids [4].The materials used varies depending on the fluid stored and the
industry [4].Materials like Metals have been used almost exclusively in the oil industry
and are most often short cantilever shells [4]. Silos and pressure vessels tend to be taller
than storage tanks [4].oil storage tanks are constructed of curved steel sheets that are
welded together to form a cylinder and are prone to fail by buckling e.g. due to wind
pressure.
Researches on storage tanks for containing oil and fuels have increased significantly in
the last 20 years [4]. This is due to the huge economic, environmental and social losses
caused by failures due to accidents or natural disasters [4].
1.1 Background and problem description
The Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning (Boverket) incorporated
in May 2011 the Eurocodes in their building code for structural design of construction
works. This building code, Boverket mandatory provisions amending the board’s
mandatory provisions and general recommendations (2011:10) on the application of
European design standards (Eurocodes), EKS, covers also the design of large tanks. This
means that the Eurocodes now have to be followed. Thus, the Eurocodes and EKS shall
now be used for the verification of the mechanical strength of steel tanks. However, the
industry have been using the design methods in the European standard EN 14015:2005,
Specification for the design and manufacture of site built, vertical cylindrical, flat
bottomed, above ground, welded, steel tanks for the storage of liquid at ambient
temperature and above.
One problem with the design models in EN 14015 is that it does not have any explicit
models to account for different snow loads or wind loads. According to EKS and the
Eurocodes it is necessary to verify that the load bearing capacity is larger than the actions
effects from permanent and variable actions [5]. Depending on the geographical position
the wind load and snow load may vary considerably in Sweden.
Another problem with the model in EN 14015 regarding buckling is that, it has
limitations. It does not consider explicitly the wind load, or the weight of the roof and any
snow load on it. The structural design models of the shell courses and the distances
1
between stiffening rings is thus quite simplified. More over the models are based on the
allowable or working stress method, whereas the Swedish building code and the
Eurocodes are based on the partial factor method. In the allowable stress method all
reliability of the resistance of the structure is placed on the strength of the material. In the
EKS and the Eurocodes the reliability is distributed to both the actions and the
resistances. It is also possible to differentiate between different levels of reliability in this
system, depending on the consequences of failure of a construction work or a building.
1.2 Purpose and aim
The purpose of the thesis is to clarify under which circumstances, the design according to
EN 14015:2005 comply with the Swedish building code. In order to do this, the design of
a large tank according to EN 14015 is compared with the design using finite element
analysis according to the Eurocodes and the Swedish national choices in EKS. The
comparison is made for different geographical locations by using possible wind and snow
load combinations.
The result of this thesis can also be used to provide information or feedback to the
industry and the designer on the use and limitation of EN14015 design method.
1.3 Hypothesis and Limitations
The hypothesis of this study is that, steel tanks designed according to EN14015 design
method do not fulfil the requirements of the Swedish building code, EKS, at some
geographical locations and terrain types in Sweden.
The investigation is limited to tank shell buckling, and only one tank with specific size is
studied in three terrain categories. It is also assumed that the tank is situated close to the
cost line of Sweden. The different combinations of wind and snow load are thus limited
to a certain number of combinations of wind speeds and snow loads. Moreover it is also
assumed that the self-weight of the roof of the tank is the same, irrespective of the snow
load at the different geographical locations.

2. Literature review
A study on numerical evaluation on the shell buckling of empty thin-walled tanks under
wind load according to current American and European design codes was performed by
Chrysanthos at et. al. [6]. They made a comparison between the current design codes
API650 and EN1993-1-6 by performing linear bifurcation analysis, LBA, geometrically
nonlinear elastic analysis of the perfect tank shell, GNA and geometrically nonlinear
buckling analysis of an imperfect tank shell, GINA, recommended by Eurocodes. These
analyses were done in order to evaluate the buckling resistance of two existing above
ground, vertical, thin-walled, cylindrical steel tanks, with large diameters and variable
thickness. Both tanks are self-supported, flat bottoms, having nine courses with variable
shell thickness and considered empty.
This study also indicates the efficiency of current design specifications in addressing
structural stability of empty large tanks when subjected to wind actions. They also stated
that EN1993-1-6 and EN1993-4-2 have not yet seen many field applications and their
results may raise doubts.
Linear bifurcation analyses of the FE-models of both tanks were carried out using
ABAQUS. The tanks were subjected to wind pressure distribution as proposed by
EN1993-1-6 and uniform wind pressure adopted by API 650. The results were found by
Comparing boundary condition discrepancies between fully fixed and compression-only
boundary conditions. Based on the result of the analysis, shell buckling was initiated at
the thinner shell courses for both tanks, the buckling mode of tank T-761 is located below
both wind girders, since the ring stiffeners provide greater stiffness to the upper thin shell
courses due to smaller distance between wind girders for fully fixed boundary conditions
and EN1993-1-6. Wind pressure might overestimate buckling capacity for T-761.
From Linear bifurcation analysis of the two models, they found that tank T-776 and T761 showed lower Critical buckling load capacity when the tanks’ bottom boundary
conditions are partially fixed, or compression-only springs are used and when the wind
load acting on the shell is not uniform. But under uniform wind velocity pressure
distribution on the tank shell, both tanks showed similar critical elastic buckling capacity
when considering both partially fixed and fully fixed bottom boundary conditions.
They finally concluded that;
•
•
•
•
Linear bifurcation analysis, LBA, is a good indicator for critical buckling
load capacity and it also provide a bifurcation point and buckling modes
that can be used as imperfection shapes in nonlinear analysis.
Fully fixed boundary conditions may overestimate the buckling capacity
of tanks.
Uniform wind pressure distribution is evaluated as the more unfavorable
compared to the EN1993-1-6, distribution, which is experimentally
confirmed. It also provides a different behavior to the shell, allowing
smaller displacements and stresses.
The imperfection amplitudes proposed by EN1993-1-6 decrease
considerably the nonlinear buckling resistance of the cylindrical tanks but
also cause a progressively stiffening response with rapidly growing
displacements of the tank shells. The largest deformable criteria for
estimating the critical load is arbitrary and does not provide reasonable
and satisfactory results.

API650 propose empirical design methods, which do not quantify the buckling critical
state and do not account for imperfections so that the theoretical back ground of the
method should be investigated and improved in the future.
In a study by Lei Chen and J .Michael Rotter [10] on ‘‘Buckling of anchored cylindrical
shells of uniform thickness under wind load’’ they conclude that cylindrical shells
subjected to non-uniform wind pressure display different buckling behaviours from those
of cylinders under uniform external pressure. In this study, different size silos and
anchored tanks of all typical geometries against buckling under wind loads. Considering
different aspect ratios (H/D), like stocky, intermediate and slender cylinders. The
buckling behaviour of silos and anchored tanks of commonly used geometry under wind
pressure was studied using finite element analysis, ABAQUS. Silos aspect ratio is in the
range of (0.5< L/r < 8 with 200< r/t<1000) where t, is the wall thickness. And tanks are
often squatter and thinner with ratio of (0.1< L/r <4 with 500 < r/t< 2000). Linear elastic
bifurcation and geometrical imperfect nonlinear buckling analysis were performed for
cylinders with (r/t =200) and for different length to radius ratios such 0.5,1 and 4. The
results showed that the critical buckling is similar to the classical circumferential
buckling mode, but when the length to radius ratios changes to higher values, the critical
buckling mode also changes, axial compressive stresses are induced by the
unsymmetrical pressure on the shell and this produces a main long buckle on the
windward meridian extending over whole height. When considering geometrical
nonlinearity stocky cylinders with (L/r <3) pre-buckling deformations are small before
limit load is reached and its nonlinear buckling pressure is close to the linear elastic
critical pressure, this indicate that geometrical nonlinearity has little effect on the
buckling strength of stocky cylinders.
Finally, they conclude that cylindrical shells subjected to non-uniform wind pressure
displays different buckling behaviours than those subjected to uniform external pressures.
In addition different aspect ratios of cylinders also results a complex buckling patterns on
the shell and yield quite different results of linear and nonlinear buckling analysis. Tanks
under uniform external pressure always experience circumferential buckling and little
affected by change in geometry. For intermediate cylinders, pre-buckling ovalization of
the cross-section has an important effect on the buckling strength.

3. Theoretical background
In this section a brief review of the basic theories and regulations related to shell buckling
analysis is presented.
Stability of a structure can be analysed by computing its critical load, i.e., the load
corresponding to the situation in which a perturbation of the deformation state does not
disturb the equilibrium between the external and internal forces [7].Buckling instability
occurs in elastic and plastic modes and can occur locally or globally or both locally and
globally, overall or take place as a combination of local and overall buckling [7]. Shell
buckling due to wind is one of the most common damages caused by the impact of a
strong wind load [8]. Different design methods are used to check the stability of a
vertical, above ground cylindrical tanks. The mostly used standards, the Eurocodes,
EN14015 and the Swedish national annex EKS, are adopted for this thesis work.
3.1 Design according to EN 14015: 2005
EN14015 design standard uses empirical methods for selecting the thickness of the shell
courses, depending on the geometry of the tank, the operational liquid level, the material
used, the density of the liquid to be contained and allowance for corrosion. This method is
based on the concept of limiting the tensile stresses of the shell due to hydrostatic
pressure while it does not consider tank shell buckling explicitly.
3.1.1
Design for fluid action
During operation, the load due to the liquid content shall be the design weight of the
product to be stored from the maximum design level to empty. Also, the internal pressure
load shall be the load due to the specified test pressure and test internal negative pressure
[8]. For a full tank, the design hydrostatic pressure is the maximum liquid pressure acting
at the bottom of the tank shell course, which is the product of the specific weight of the
liquid, maximum height measured from the top of the tank shell. This fluid action is
resisted by providing thicker bottom shell courses.
In this project, the tank is assumed to be empty and the internal negative pressure is
considered for the calculation. Empty tanks are highly susceptible to buckling since the
effect of the external wind load and the internal negative pressure on the tank shell
becomes more pronounced. As a result, the tank shell may buckle at lower snow load.
3.1.2
Design against buckling
In this design standard, shell buckling is considered indirectly through an empirical
design method that ensure the stiffening of the shell by providing it with circumferential
ring stiffeners at specific heights, depending on the thickness of the shell courses, the
height of the shell and a three second gust wind velocity [6], which is considered to be the
design wind speed acting on the tank shell. If the gust wind speed is greater than 45m/sec,
another wind speed should be considered after reaching an agreement between the client
and the designer [6].
3.2 Design according to the Swedish building code and the Eurocodes
Eurocodes design standards provides theoretical background and methodologies for
evaluating explicitly the buckling resistance of the shell structures [8]. The provisions
include analytical formulation for calculating the buckling capacity in terms of stresses.
5
The Eurocodes also proposes numerical analysis methods like linear bifurcation analysis
and nonlinear buckling analysis.
In this project, the effect of the wind velocity pressure and snow load on mechanical
strength of the tank shell considering different terrain categories and snow load zones,
since wind velocity pressure is dependent on the reference wind load, which varies with
terrain category. The snow load also varies with the geographical locations. Wind loads
on cylindrical tanks are simulated as pressure distribution acting on the circumferential
shell [8]. According to EN1993-4-2, wind simulations through equivalent uniform
pressure throughout the circumference of the tank shell, are adopted for this study [9].

3.2.1
Reliability classes
The reliability of a structure can be classified based on the extent of the risk of human
injuries caused due to the failure of the structure [13].The Eurocode system uses for this
purpose, consequence classes [8]. The consequence class, classifications of structures
based on effect of the consequence of failure of the structures considers also social and
environmental risks. In this study three reliability classes, RC1-RC3 are used according to
the Swedish national choice in EKS. Reliability class-1 is a lower reliability with a
coefficient of 0.83, and should be used for example for a steel tank for storing water at
agricultural farm area. Steel tanks for containing liquids or gases with explosive nature
can cause a high risk of injuries to human if failure occurs. In such case the steel tank can
be classified as Reliability class-3, a higher reliability class with a coefficient of 1.And
reliability class-2 with a coefficient 0.91 is considered when a structural failure causes
medium risk of injuries. This study uses all the three reliability classes to compute the
buckling load capacity of the steel tank under study. The implementation of these
coefficients is shown in the Equation (1), where the coefficient is denoted γd
3.2.2
Self-weight
The design self-weight of permanent actions on a structure can be determined by using
Equation 6.10 b from the Swedish national annex, is given by;
𝐺𝐺𝐷𝐷 = 𝛾𝛾𝑑𝑑 . πœ‰πœ‰. 𝛾𝛾𝐺𝐺_𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠 . πΊπΊπ‘˜π‘˜
(1)
Where, 𝛾𝛾𝑑𝑑 is the reliability coefficient, πœ‰πœ‰ is Self-weight reduction factor, 𝛾𝛾𝐺𝐺_𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠 is the
load factor for safety and πΊπΊπ‘˜π‘˜ self-weight of the structure.
6
In tank shell design, the shell wall constitutes its self-weight and the weight of the roof.
The self-weight of the shell is balanced or supported by the tank bottom support and the
tank shell is assumed in its’ equilibrium state before the tank roofing weight is applied.
The assumed roof self-weight is 58 ton, which is based on the calculated data obtained
from similar tank roof design of a Mid-Rock tank, T-501. The same self-weight of the
roof is assumed for all snow load zones and terrain categories considered under this
study. The weight of the roof (πΊπΊπ‘˜π‘˜ ) is calculated by adding the total weight of all the
roofing components per circumferential unit. The area of the roof is calculated in the
Mathcad document in Appendix A, as described in Eurocode 1 [11].The design value of
the self-weight of the roof include a reliability coefficient,( 𝛾𝛾𝑑𝑑 ), a self-weight reduction
factor,( πœ‰πœ‰) and a partial factor for permanent load, (𝛾𝛾𝐺𝐺_𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠 ), see equation (1).Using the
Swedish building code, the reduction factor is a constant which was set to 0.89 and the
partial factor, which works as a safety factor, is 1.35[10].The design self-weight of the
roof is calculated for the three reliability classes at each terrain category.
3.2.3
Snow load
The snow loads were given by the snow standard as described by equation. The snow
load shape coefficient (πœ‡πœ‡π‘–π‘– ) is given in EN1991-1-3[12] for the slope of the roof. The
exposure coefficient (Ce ) is determined according to the topography; such as windswept,
normal or sheltered, where the sheltered topography leads to a larger exposure coefficient
[12].A normal topography was chosen for this study. The thermal coefficient (Ct) is only
used for heated construction and where the roof has a poor thermal insulation [13].
The thermal coefficient depends on the heat transfer coefficient, temperature in the
surroundings and whether or not the roof has a snow guard that is the probability of the
snow staying on the roof. The characteristic value of snow load on the ground (𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠), is
determined by the National Annex for the geographical location of the tank [13]. In this
study all the characteristic snow loads acting on the tank shell at different geographical
locations in Sweden were considered. A more description of the calculations can be seen
in Appendix A. The snow load on the roof is assumed to be vertically on horizontal plane.
The design snow load on the tank roof acting on the top of the tank shell perimeter is
determined by using equation 6.10.b of the Swedish building code. Compute the design
snow load, considering each selected snow load zone when snow load is accompanying
variable action and also considering the reliability classes, reliability class A and B.
𝑆𝑆𝐷𝐷 = 𝛾𝛾𝑑𝑑 . 𝛾𝛾𝑄𝑄 . πœ“πœ“o . 𝑆𝑆𝑛𝑛

where:
𝛾𝛾𝑑𝑑 - reliability coefficient,
𝛾𝛾𝑄𝑄 - variable action load factor,
πœ“πœ“o - combination factor for accompanying variable load
𝑆𝑆𝑛𝑛 - characteristics snow load on the tank roof

𝑆𝑆𝑛𝑛 = πœ‡πœ‡π‘–π‘– . Ce . Ct . 𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠
(3)
The characteristics snow load on the tank shell is the product of snow load shape
coefficient (πœ‡πœ‡π‘–π‘– ), exposure coefficient (Ce ), thermal coefficient (Ct), and the basic ground
snow load (𝑠𝑠𝑠𝑠), See equation (3). In this study the characteristics snow load on the tank
shell is calculated for the selected snow load zones in Sweden.
3.2.4
Wind load
The Eurocodes and the Swedish national annex are used to calculate the design wind load
[15].The main factor that influences the design wind pressure acting on the tank shell is
the terrain category for which the tank is modelled. The external wind pressure consists of
some constants factors like terrain factor, (π‘˜π‘˜π‘Ÿπ‘Ÿ ) wind velocity peak factor, (π‘˜π‘˜π‘π‘ ), wind
turbulence intensity, (𝐼𝐼𝑉𝑉 ), and the wind turbulence intensity is also dependent on the
orographic coefficient, (π‘π‘π‘œπ‘œ ), the height of each shell course from the bottom of the tank
and the external pressure buckling coefficient (Cb), the peak velocity pressure, (qp), which
is given by the national annex. The peak velocity pressure is determined through several
factors which are described in the Mathcad document in the Appendix A, but can be
shortly described as factors determined for the terrain types and the basic wind velocity.
In this study three terrain categories were chosen. The terrain types are, terrain category-0
(at sea or coastal area exposed to the open sea), terrain category-I (Lakes or flat and
horizontal area with negligible vegetation and without obstacles) and terrain category-II
(area with regular cover of vegetation or buildings). The basic wind velocity depends on
the geographical location where the coastal areas generally have a higher basic wind
velocity than further in the country [13].The location was set in the case of Sweden, for
all the six different basic wind velocities in the three selected terrain categories. The
equivalent external wind pressure on the tank shell at each shell course is calculated by
using equation 11.28, EN1993-4-2[9]. According to the standard the peak wind velocity
pressure shall be multiplied by a maximum wind pressure coefficient (kw), which is also a
function of the radius of the tank, distance between stiffening rings and the thickness of
the shell plates between the stiffening rings [15].Similar to the design snow load and selfweight of the tank roof, the design wind pressures acting on the shell are calculated at the
selected terrain types for reliability class 1, 2 and 3.
The common design parameters or constants are being the same for all the three terrain
types but the terrain roughness length, (π‘§π‘§π‘œπ‘œ ), wind pressure turbulence intensity on the
shell (𝐼𝐼𝑉𝑉 ), and the terrain factor, (π‘˜π‘˜π‘Ÿπ‘Ÿ ), and varies for each terrain type.
The turbulence intensity of the wind pressure at a height (z) is given by:

The characteristic equivalent pressure acting on the tank shell is the sum of equivalent
external pressure, acting along its height at the top of each shell course, and the internal
negative pressure acting on the tank shell, which is given by equation (9).

In terrain category II, the tank was located at a place, where some isolated obstacles, like
buildings, trees and low vegetation, exists with separations of at least 20 times the
obstacle height [15]. The turbulence intensity of the wind at a height (𝑧𝑧), the peak
velocity pressure, (π‘žπ‘žπ‘π‘ ) and the corresponding characteristic equivalent pressure (𝑃𝑃𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸 )
acting on the shell were lower when compared with the results in terrain category 0 and
terrain category I
In terrain category I, the tank was located at a place, where lakes or flat and horizontal
area with negligible vegetation and without obstacles [15]. The turbulence intensity at a
9
height (𝑧𝑧), the peak velocity pressure, (π‘žπ‘žπ‘π‘ ) and the corresponding characteristics
equivalent pressure acting on the shell were lower when compared with terrain category 0
but higher than the results in terrain category II.
In terrain category 0, the tank was located near to the sea or coastal area exposed to open
sea [16]. The turbulence intensity at a height (𝑧𝑧), the peak velocity pressure, (π‘žπ‘žπ‘π‘ ) and the
corresponding characteristic equivalent pressure acting on the shell were higher when
compared with the results in terrain category I and terrain category II.
The design wind pressures are calculated using the reliability classes (1, 2 and 3).The
imperfections classes (A and B) were used in the selected terrain categories. For
additional calculation parts see the in appendix A.
3.3 Fabrication classes in EN1993-1-6
3.3.1
Geometrical imperfections
There are three fabrication classes in EN1993-1-6. Larger or smaller imperfections are
allowed depending on the fabrication class. Imperfections may have a large impact on the
buckling capacity of thin walled structures. For thin walled structures, geometric
imperfections refer to deviation from the shape of perfect geometry. Initial geometric
imperfections are the main attribute that dominate the buckling and post-buckling
behaviour of thin walled structures by creating large differences between theoretical and
experimental prediction of collapse loads [15]. In this project, imperfection classification,
as described by the Eurocodes buckling relevant geometrical tolerance, specifically
fabrication tolerances, are considered for non-linear buckling analysis. Fabrication
tolerance class A and B were used in the analysis.
The dimples formed should be measured at every position, in both meridional and
circumferential directions. The depth of initial dimples should be assessed in terms of the
dimple parameters, U0X, U0θ and U0W and these values should satisfy the conditions stated
in EN1993-1-6. The depth of initial dimples created on the shell wall, calculated by using
gauge of length (lg) for meridional compressive stressed region, (𝑙𝑙𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔 ) and for
circumferential compressive stressed or shear stressed region, (lgθ). The gauge length,
(𝑙𝑙𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔 ), for across welds in both circumferential and meridional directions. The amplitude
of initial imperfection is the maximum value of the product of the gauge lengths
calculated in Equations (10), (11) and (12). See appendix B for calculation of initial
dimple tolerances.

4. Methodology and object description
4.1 Design according to EN 14015
In this section, a Mathcad tool is used for design calculations according to EN14015. This
design is then used in order to study if the design fulfils the requirements in the Swedish
building code for mechanical strength of construction works. In EN14015 the design of
the tank can be divided in two steps.
The first step is computation of the design hydrostatic pressure acting on the shell, which
is maximum at the bottom of the shell course. Hydrostatic pressure is the product of the
specific weight of the liquid to be contained and the height of the tank shell.
The second step is design for the stability of the tank and this is also done after
determining the shell thickness so that stresses in the tank shell from the action of
hydrostatic pressure do not exceed the least of two third of material yield strength or
260MPa. Computation of the shell thickness is influenced by factors like geometry of the
tank, material to be contained, material strength, corrosion allowance, design pressure and
height of shell courses from top of the tank shell. And then design of the shell for external
wind loads and internal negative pressure, which is buckling resistance of the tank shell,
is prevented by providing ring stiffeners and determines the minimum spacing of
secondary rings using an equivalent minimum shell thickness.
The required minimum design thickness of the shell plates is derived from equation (13)
𝑒𝑒𝑐𝑐 =
𝐷𝐷
[98π‘Šπ‘Š(𝐻𝐻𝑐𝑐 − 0,3) + 𝑝𝑝] + 𝑐𝑐

(13)
where:
c is corrosion allowance, for the shell assumed fully painted (c=0),
D is tank diameter in [m],
𝐻𝐻𝑐𝑐 is the distance from the bottom of the considered course to the design liquid
height [m],
𝑝𝑝 is the design pressure [mbar],
S is the allowable design strength [MPa]. According to EN14015, 9.1.1 a, the
allowable design stress, S is minimum of 2/3 of the yield strength of the shell material or
260 MPa,
P is the design pressure [MPa], assumed to be zero, since an empty tank was
considered, and
W the density of the liquid to be contained, [Kg/l], for diesel a density of 780Kg/l
was used.

Taking the ratio of the total equivalent stable height (𝐻𝐻𝑬𝑬 ) of the shell to the minimum
spacing between the stiffeners (𝐻𝐻𝒑𝒑𝒑𝒑 ). And comparing their values [6] using the relations,
2𝐻𝐻𝒑𝒑𝒑𝒑 <𝐻𝐻𝑬𝑬 < 𝐻𝐻𝒑𝒑𝒑𝒑 and also their location on the tank shell is determined by 1/3(𝐻𝐻𝑬𝑬 ) and
2/3(𝐻𝐻𝑬𝑬 ) from the top of the tank shell.
4.2 Finite Element Analysis
The stability analysis of a finite element model of the shell was done by using ABAQUS
[14], based on Eurocodes recommendations [15].The cylindrical tank shell was
discretized by using 4-node curved elements identified as S4R, with reduced integration.
The mesh (some 88000 elements) was defined by means of convergence studies [14].
In this project the structural response of the tank shell has been computed using linear
bifurcation analysis (LBA), to obtain the critical elastic buckling load factor (CBLF) and
geometrical nonlinear analysis with imperfections (GMNIA).
Linear bifurcation analysis determines the elastic critical buckling resistance, which is a
key reference value for all shell buckling analyses. This analysis provides the first
estimate of the elastic buckling strength, which is unique and computable when
compressive stresses occur in the structure. It can be represented by a relatively simple
equation following a parametric numerical study. As result, linear bifurcation analysis can
be adopted as the elastic reference failure strength in EN-1993-1-6 to be modified
approximately to account for the more complex effects of imperfections [10]. In this
project the linear bifurcation analysis was done for different design buckling load
combinations of wind and snow for the three terrain categories. Also the three reliability
classes were considered. After running the linear buckling analysis the Eigen value for
the first Eigen mode was obtained and it was used as the applied load multiplying factor
in the load module to get the critical elastic buckling strength of the shell element.
In general, the result of linear bifurcation analysis (LBA) cannot be justified as a reliable
strength assessment for practical shell structures because the true strength may be quite
sensitive to geometric nonlinearity and geometric imperfections, which are both ignored
in linear bifurcation analyses.
Non-Linear buckling analysis for numerical post buckling analysis is based on
incremental and iterative Newton-Raphson method to obtain solutions for nonlinear
13
problems. Riks algorithm was chosen for the different variations of Newton-Raphson
method, which is an arc-length technique that can provide solutions in nonlinear problems
[16], and this method, is generally used to predict unstable geometrically nonlinear
collapse of a structure. Geometrically nonlinear static problems sometimes involve
buckling or collapse behaviour. Where the load-displacement response shows negative
stiffness and the structure must release strain energy to remain in equilibrium. The Riks
method uses the load magnitude as an additional unknown, it solves simultaneously for
loads and displacements. That is, during periods of response, the load and /or the
displacement may decrease as the solution evolves.
In this analysis the result from the linear elastic buckling analysis, Eigen mode shape 1,
was used as the initial imperfect shape for nonlinear analysis. Also geometrical
imperfections were considered according to the allowed limits for the different fabrication
classes in EN1993-1-6. Imperfection class A and B were primarily used in this study.
4.2.1

In this study three selected terrain categories, together with snow load and basic wind
velocities at different geographical locations were investigated. For, on ground snow load

5. Results and analysis
This chapter has been divided in to two sections, the first section, presents the result of
the Mathcad calculation for the design of the tank according to EN14015.The second one
presents the results from the finite element analysis of the tank designed according to
EN14015.
5.1 Design using EN14015
The calculation results of the tank shell using the design models in EN14015 regard the
hydrostatic pressure and the stability of the shell to prevent buckling.
For an empty tank it is the buckling due to the loads from the roof, snow and wind that
the tank is designed for with respect to instability and buckling of the shell. But the
design hydrostatic pressure is calculated for determination of the tank shell thickness. The
hydrostatic pressure effect is higher towards the bottom shell courses. The design
hydrostatic pressure acting on the tank shell when the tank is at full level is calculated by
equation (16).
PH = γQ . γ. H
(16)
The result of the design hydrostatic pressure is 25MPa, which is smaller than the
allowable tensile strength of the shell material (260MPa) and also the thickness of the
shell course increases from top to the bottom of the shell.
5.1.1
Design for hydrostatic pressure
Based on this standard and some assumptions, like length of each shell course, since this
study is focus on an empty tank and the shell surface is painted to prevent corrosion,
allowable design strength of the shell material calculated from characteristics yield
strength of the shell material. A total of elven shell courses are assumed, out of which
nine of them have equal height of 2m and for the last two top shell courses 1.5m height is
used. For additional calculation parts see in the Appendix B.
The shell thickness is computed by equation (13). According to EN14015 design
standard, the minimum thickness provision for the shell courses having minimum
calculated thickness, using normal steel material was used for the tank shell is 6mm [6].
Design for wind it has been done by first computing equivalent stable height of the shell
courses, which are the product of each shell course height with the ratio of the minimum
shell thickness to the shell course under consideration. The total equivalent stable height
of the tank is 17.34m, which is the sum of equivalent stable height of each shell course.

Design to prevent buckling
The maximum permitted spacing between secondary stiffening rings on shells of
minimum thickness and the required number of stiffeners were calculated using equation
(14) and (15). From the equation (15), the maximum spacing between the ring stiffeners,
(Hp1), was calculated to be 5.78m. The ratio of the total equivalent stable height of the
tank shell to the maximum permitted spacing between the stiffeners is 2.77 m, and
comparing these values yields, two secondary ring stiffeners are required.
According to EN14015, Table 17, provide two angular shaped secondary stiffeners with
minimum size 120x80x10 [mm] and the ring stiffeners are positioned at 5.78m and 11.6m
from the top of the tank shell.
5.2 Numerical simulations (FEM)
The result of static structural finite element analysis, using ABAQUS for the different
combinations of the investigated terrain types, reliability classes, snow loads, wind loads
and fabrication classes are shown below. The results using the load combinations in this
study, the elastic critical buckling load factor (CBLF), the Load proportionality factor
(LPF) in nonlinear buckling analysis are listed in tables and also presented some graphs
of LPF verses lateral displacement of the shell, (U3).
In terrain category II the Linear bifurcation and nonlinear buckling analysis results for
this terrain category using the given load combinations, considering reliability class1 and
reliability class 2 and using fabrication class A and B

Note that the deformation is exaggerated in, Figure.5 and Figure 6, which are scaled 20
times the original deformation. The linear critical buckling load factor for Eigen mode 1
is 1.32, the load proportionality factor, LPF is 1.24, obtained from nonlinear analysis, see
Figure.5. The shell is stiffer at the top region due to the two closely spaced ring stiffeners
but it shows a little reduction in the buckling load factor in nonlinear analysis and the
corresponding lateral maximum displacement along the wind direction is reached
49.64mm at the stiffened region. The equivalent von Mises stresses, see Figure 6,
increases from bottom of the tank shell to its top and it reaches a maximum where local
buckling or dimples formation occur.
The critical elastic buckling load factors and Load proportionality factors for nonlinear
buckling are presented in Table 4 and Table 5.

categories, the shell buckled in all cases before reaching the yield strength of the steel.
The stress level is about 170 MPa. The critical elastic buckling load factors and the load
proportionality factors indicate the buckling load capacity of the tank shell in linear and
nonlinear cases.

6. Analyses and discussion
The results obtained from the calculation document, design of the thank shell according
to EN14015 and the designed tank shell was investigated if it fulfils the requirements in
the Swedish building code. The thickness of shell courses were determined by designing
the tank against hydrostatic pressure. The design hydrostatic pressure is 25MPa,
maximum at the bottom shell course and it is lower than the allowable strength (260MPa)
of the shell material. According to EN14015 minimum thickness criteria for the tank shell
using normal steel and using the hydrostatic design pressure, the thank shell was provided
with a minimum thickness of 6mm at the top six courses and a maximum thickness of
9mm at the bottom course.
Design stability of the tank shell against the wind is influenced by the external wind and
internal negative pressure, the minimum shell thickness and the tank diameter. Using
EN14015, the wind action is resisted by providing the required number of stiffeners and
their position on the tank shell. As a result, the tank shell under this study was provided
with two ring stiffeners (L-shaped, 120x80x10mm) located at 5.78m and 11.6m from the
top of the tank shell.
The finite element analysis for checking the designed tank shell by using EN14015 was
investigated by creating the model and using Eurocodes and EKS to apply the design
loads on the model. In the finite element analysis linear and nonlinear buckling analyses
were carried out considering the variation in terrain category, reliability classes and
fabrication tolerances. Critical elastic buckling load and nonlinear buckling load
proportionality factors were obtained using the six basic wind velocities and snow load
combinations.
The change in terrain category affects the linear and nonlinear buckling capacity of the
tank shell. Table. 9 shows the buckling capacity of the shell at higher reliability and lower
fabrication classes in terrain category 0 and II see Table. 9. For the wind and snow load
combinations, the linear and nonlinear buckling capacity of the tank decreases, when the
terrain changes from lower terrain category (II) to higher (0).One exception showed for
basic wind velocity (21m/s), in nonlinear buckling, the change in terrain category from
lower to higher class, CBLF and LPF showed the same value in both terrain categories.

The nonlinear buckling behavior of the shell showed an increase in buckling capacity
with in the same higher terrain category and higher reliability class (2), see Table.11,
When fabrication tolerance class of the tank changed from lower to higher class, the
result showed that linear buckling load factor is the same since it is independent of
imperfections but there was an increase in the load proportionality factor (LPF) values at
terrain category 0.

7. Conclusions
The results of finite element analysis of the tank shell, showed that design according to
EN14015 complies with the Eurocodes and the Swedish building code at lower basic
wind velocities and possibly also for higher basic wind velocities for terrain category II.
The design using 14015, at terrain category I for lower reliability class, RC-1 and for
lower fabrication class, fabrication class-A and at lower basic wind speeds also complies
with the Eurocodes and the Swedish national annex.
Design of steel tanks using EN14015 standards may not fulfill the requirements of
Eurocodes and EKS at higher terrain categories, higher reliability and imperfection
classes, Like terrain category 0, reliability class 2 and for fabrication class A. For
example such petroleum tanks are mostly large and located near the sea or coastal areas
open to the sea for easy shipment process (loading and unloading) of petroleum. And they
are located at higher terrain category, stability design of the tanks should follow the
Eurocodes and EKS design standards.
Consideration of equivalent uniform pressure along the shell circumference, according to
EN1993-4-2 for the design of large tanks at higher terrain categories and reliability
classes may not give satisfactory results in nonlinear buckling analysis.
Some wind-snow load combinations at higher terrain categories, at higher reliability and
imperfections classes, the nonlinear finite element analysis of the tank showed an increase
in buckling capacity, load proportionality factor for the load combinations considered in
this study. Finally this requires also further studies on the relations of local buckling
effect due to highly stiffened regions and the effect of the magnitudes and applications of
imperfections for large tanks using EN1993-1-6 design standard.
