Plant Unit TypeStorage Tank
Description

Damage states for spherical pressure vessels according to Moschonas et al. (2014).

States
NoCodeNameDescription
1.DS0No Damage

No damage.

2.DS1Minor Damage

Minor yields that correspond to minor permanent deformations at critical sections of a small percentage of columns and/or braces.

3.DS2Moderate Damage

For class 1 sections according to EC3, moderate yields corresponding to moderate permanent deformations at critical sections of a moderate percentage of columns and/or braces without any global buckling failure of columns.

For class 2 and 3 sections according to EC3, minor-to-moderate yields that correspond to minor-to-moderate permanent deformations at critical sections of a moderate percentage of columns and/or braces without any local buckling at critical sections of columns.

4.DS3Major Damage

For class 1 sections according to EC3, major yields causing major permanent deformations at critical sections of a large percentage of columns and/or braces with global buckling failure of columns where maximum compression occurs.

For class 2 and 3 sections according to EC3, minor-to-major yields that cause minor-to-major permanent deformations at critical sections of a large percentage of columns and/or braces with local buckling of critical sections at the columns where maximum compression occurs.

5.DS4Collapse

Buckling failure with subsequent collapse of the pressure vessel.
