Abstract

A cylindrical storage tank has a welded steel structure and a diameter /thickness ratio of 2,000 to 10,000, which can be considered as a membrane structure. High bending stresses are applied to the shell-to-annular joint due to the hydrostatic pressure, and the maximum stress concentration occurs at the toe of a fillet weld.
