Abstract
Main principles of design of shell-type transformable structures intended for storage of liquid and loose products, such as fuel, water, grain, etc., are described. Calculation diagrams and results of calculation of the strength and robustness of structures, as well as their ability to resist service and wind loads are presented. The technology for assembly and welding of thin-walled joints in structures with long welds is described
Keywords: welded structures, transformable shell, design, assembly, arc welding, residual stresses, deforming fixture, mounting
