METHODS OF EXAMINATION AND SPECIFICATION SITE STRESS-STRAIN STATE UNIT OF CONNECTION OF WALLS WITH THE BOTTOM VERTICAL CYLINDRICAL TANKS
The question of the survey site interface with the bottom wall of a vertical cylindrical tank of large volume (10 000...50 000 m<sup>3</sup>) has been considered. Main factors influencing the stress-strain state of such sites (geometric and stiffness parameters, design solutions, the strength characteristics of the material, interaction with the ground, uneven cake, etc.) have been chosen. On the basis of numerical studies regularities of changes in key parameters of the stress-strain state (reduced strain, radial displacement) of the above-mentioned factors of influence have been obtained. Analytical expressions for describing the set of patterns that can be used as in the design and as the refinement of the stress-strain state of the walls of the tank in use in the area the unit of connection of walls with the bottom have been proposed.
