This thesis presents the analysis of the structural behavior of steel oil storage tanks exposed to fire. This study focuses on determining the deformed configurations and the critical buckling temperatures of storage tanks ...

This thesis presents an investigation of the buckling phenomenon and the consequences of stability theory for three-dimensional, thick solids. The theme structures considered are solid cylinders under axial compression. ...

This thesis evaluates the stability of cylindrical above-ground steel tanks under imposed support settlements and wind pressures. The tanks considered are representative of tanks constructed in Puerto Rico and in the ...
