A stiffening ring is commonly used at the top of the tank wall to increase its strength against external pressure instability. Traditional design treatments generally consider cylindrical storage tanks under uniform external ...

Many tank structures may not be stable during the construction phase, and this may lead to their becoming vulnerable to buckling under environmental loading conditions such as wind. Installing intermediate ring stiffeners ...

In this study, ground glass powder and crushed waste glass were used to replace coarse and fine aggregates. Within the scope of the study, fine aggregate (FA) and coarse aggregate (CA) were changed separately with proportions ...

With the increasing number of vehicles in the world, the amount of waste tires is increasing day by day. In this case, the disposal of expired tires will cause serious environmental problems. In recent years, instead of ...

I-shaped links in eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) are susceptible to lateral or lateral torsional buckling when subjected to cyclic link rotations. Lateral bracing should be provided at the ends of the I-shaped links ...

Empty open-top cylindrical steel tanks are susceptible to buckling when subjected to external pressure due to wind or partial vacuum due to blocked vents. A "wind girder" is commonly used at the top of the tank wall to ...
