Evaluation of Design Criteria for Oil Storage Tanks with Frangible Roof Joints
Describes research that evaluated the ability of the present design criteria (API 650) to ensure the desired frangible joint behavior. Particular questions include: evaluation of the area inequality as a method to predict the buckling response of the compression ring; effect of roof slope, tank diameter, and weld size on the frangible joint; effect of the relative strength of the roof-to-shell joint compared to the shell-to-bottom joint. Charts, tables, graphs and photos. References.6.0 API-Tank: A Program for the Design/analysis of Tanks with Frangible Roof Joints Based on the results of the previously described research, it was decided to develop a program to ... In the design module, the user can input tank parameters and API-Tank will develop a design following API 650 guidelines. ... The tank is assumed to rest on a sand foundation with a default modulus of 250 lb/in2/in.
