Wind girder floating roof tank.
Floating roof tank etc.
Two practical floating roof steel tanks are taken as the illustrative examples of large steel tanks which are marked tk 2020 with the height to radius ratio of 0 35 as the representatives of.
The strengthening effects of wind girders on the anti buckling capacity of tank wall were shown in the comparison of the buckling modes and the critical loads of tanks a and b with and without wind girders.

The height of the two tanks is 23 m the diameter is 40 m and the thickness is 8mm.
Open top floating roof tank note the presence of the wind girder just under the open top.
