Nonlinear Stress Amplification Mechanism of Shell-to-Bottom Fillet Welds in Large Oil Storage Tanks Induced by Local Bottom Plate Detachment Under Harmonic Settlement

Although previous studies have investigated global deformation responses of large storage tanks subjected to uneven foundation settlement, the stress redistribution mechanism of shell-to-bottom fillet welds caused by local bottom plate detachment remains unclear. In this study, a...
