Original Abstract

The article is aimed at the reliability and sensitivity analyses of the resistance of large circular cylindrical storage tanks storing crude oil. The reliability was quantified on behalf of the Cornell reliability index. It is shown how the Cornell reliability index is influenced by the tank shell thickness change. The sensitivity analysis of the reliability function was elaborated. The results of experimental research were applied to numerical evaluation. It was shown that the random variability of yield strength influenced the reliability in a dominant way. Reliability and sensitivity analyses were elaborated by applying the Latin Hypercube Sampling method.
