Abstract
In this paper, the deformation behaviour of the large steel tank under uneven foundation settlement is investigated. The finite element model of the tank is firstly established, the finite element analysis of the large steel tank under the harmonic settlement conditions is carried out consequently, the influence of height-diameter ratio, diameter-thickness ratio and wind girder stiffness on the deformation behaviour of the tank top is studied. Based on the finite element results, regression equation for predicting maximum radial displacement of the tank is proposed. Furthermore, the accuracy of proposed solution is validated.
