Abstract

External effects (wind, snow, rain, earthquake), if acting, have to be taken into account in calcualtion. Yugoslav standards for such a calculation are non-existing, and API (American Petroleum Institute) standards are used. In the paper the calculation procedure for storage tank of 10 000 m3 in volume according to API 650 is presented.

Keywords: verticla storage tank, design, calculation, seismic effect
