Abstract
Combined with practical experience a kind of new horizontal storage tank with separate plate was put forward. In view of the lack of experience in the design of the new tank and limitations of carrying out shaking table test for full scale horizontal storage tank, the pseudo-dynamic analysis of separate plate substructure with 5m diameter is done by using ANSYS finite element software combined with the actual engineering. The fluid loads action and mechanical model were simplified, and elastic-plastic mechanical properties of separate plate substructure under the cyclic loading actions were investigated, then deformation and stress distribution of separate plate were obtained. The design thickness for separate plate which in the horizontal storage tank is verified by finite element analysis and the horizontal tank construction methods is given. These can provide technical support to improve the practical design of large horizontal storage tank.
