Abstract

The paper describes analytical and numerical methodology analysing the stress state of structural elements of the special-purpose container. Research is based on the container supporting structure and the stress state under the effect of additional loads from wind and snow is determined. Numerical analysis is carried out using the finite element method in the ABAQUS® software package. After the numerical calculation, it is concluded that the designed container will not reach a critical condition due to additional loads. Some of the safety issues should be considered early in the container life cycle, already during design and manufacture. It is usually required to apply measures for safe and healthy work which are determined by regulations in the field of safety and health at work, and in connection with the work to be performed.
