Original Abstract

Large cylindrical storage tanks are the most frequent method of storage of cruel oil and petroleum products. Storage tanks are built from different materials such as concrete, steel, plastics fibres, and their combination. The most common material is still steel. Steel storage tanks are very thin shell structures of shape and design layout which ideally meet requirements. Each structure, storage tanks including, has imperfections or limitations that must be taken into account. There are especially two aspects that must be considered in case of steel storage tanks; the first one is corrosion and the second one is predisposition to stability problems. The presented paper deals with failure analysis of half-buried storage tanks due to loss of stability. In the paper there are described consequences of the collapse of the storage tank and causes of the failure are discussed and described.
