Abstract
In a horizontal reservoir, partially supported by saddles, great stresses arise near the supports, and the magnitude of these stresses is closely related with the form of the saddle supports. In this paper, we discussed the strength of such a reservoir and its relationship to the form of the saddle supports, utilizing the fundamental differential equation of cylindrical shells, and we pointed out the importance of the form of the saddle supports. To decrease the magnitude of the stresses arising near the supports, we further made researches on the optimum form of the saddle supports. From this study, we knew that the deformation of such a reservoir was very large, and so on.
