Abstract
The paper analyses different methods of making vertical erection joints in tanks built of coiled blanks. It is suggested that in repair of erection joints in the currently used tanks and in construction of new tanks, the butt joint should be made by welding-in special sheet inserts. Theoretical estimation of local stresses in the tank wall after welding-in the inserts is presented, allowing for actual radial distortions of the wall.
Keywords: steel tanks, coiled blanks, vertical erection joints of walls, angular deformations, end portions of walls, inserts, hoop stresses
