Design steel spherical tank height H = 44m according to Eurocode

Abstract

This paper presents the design of the steel water tower with spherical water tank height H = 44m. Spherical tank is located at the top of the steel tubular column, with diameter F = 128cm. The construction of the water tower was modeled using the ABAQUS software package, to give a realistic picture of the stress-strain states in all points of the tank shell and the tubular column. Analysis of the load of construction was carried out based on European standards, with special attention to the influence of the earthquake on the spherical tank.
