Parameters determining the degree of the required external transversal FRP reinforcement of metal cylindrical tanks

Abstract

The main reasons for the wear of the walls of metal cylindrical tanks are corrosion and fatigue of the metal of their vertical joints. It is possible to replenish for the corrosion losses of the material, as well as to reduce the level of acting stresses to values allowed by the condstions of metal fatigue, with external transverse reinforcement with fiber reinforced...
