Design of modern thin-walled metal structures is widely used around the world. In recent decades, more comprehensive research is carried out to investigate the behaviour of various thin-walled structures. Generally, the structure with regular geometry is investigated. In various countries such as USA, Russia, and the European Union issued the standards on regulation of the construction, design and maintenance of thin-walled structures. The actually used period of tanks usually is longer than recommendatory period. Recommendatory maintenance period of metal tanks is 15–20 years. Therefore, for such structures one of the most considerable questions is the residual load bearing capacity beyond the end of the maintenance period. This phase of using of structures is associated with complex investigation and numerical analysis of thin-walled structures. In this paper the load bearing capacity of the steel wall of the existing over-ground vertical cylindrical tank in volume of 5,000 m3 with a single defect and with a few contiguous local defects of the shape is analyzed. Calculations carried out are taking into account all the imperfections of the wall geometry. A major goal of the research – developing a realistic numerical model of the object analyzed, taking into account all the imperfections, determining the wall stress and strain state, exploring the places of extreme points, calculating the residual load bearing capacity of the tank and scrutinizing possible strengthening schemes for defective areas.

This work aimed to investigate the effects of steel tube corrosion on the axial ultimate load-bearing capacity (AULC) of circular thin-walled concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) members. Circular thin-walled CFST stub column specimens were made of steel tubes with various wall-thicknesses. These CFST column specimens were subjected to an accelerated corrosion test, where the steel tubes were corroded to different degrees of corrosion. Then, these CFST specimens with corroded steel tubes experienced an axial static loading test. Results show that the failure patterns of circular thin-walled CFST stub columns with corroded steel tubes are different from those of the counterpart CFST columns with ordinary wall-thickness steel tubes, which is a typical failure mode of shear bulging with slight local outward buckling. The ultimate strength and plastic deformation capacity of the CFST specimens decreased with the increasing degree of steel corrosion. The failure modes of the specimens still belonged to ductile failure because of the confinement of outer steel tube. The degree of steel tube corrosion, diameter-to-thickness ratio, and confinement coefficient had substantial influences on the AULC and the ultimate compressive strength of circular thin-walled CFST stub columns. A simple AULC prediction model for corroded circular thin-walled CFST stub columns was presented through the regression of the experimental data and parameter analysis.

The article describes the process of numerical simulation of a composite symmetric section element made of thin-walled Sigma profiles operating under conditions of longitudinal compressive force with bending, taking into account the initial geometric imperfections. At numerical modeling, the main criterion of the load-bearing capacity exhaustion in case of eccentric compression is the stability loss in one of the forms. However, for thin-walled elements, the loss of local stability does not mean that the load-bearing capacity is completely exhausted, since the element continues to carry the load, but to a lesser extent. Therefore, simulation was carried out in two stages: initially, in the elastic formulation, the possible buckling modes were determined, afterwards, there was made calculation on the deformed pattern taking into account possible imperfections.

Prefabricated monolithic floors are the best solution in terms of cost and time of work. In addition, due to the lightweight filling blocks included in the prefabricated monolithic structure, the overlap has less weight than the classic monolithic or precast slabs. Within the framework of this article, elements of prefabricated monolithic floors — reinforced concrete T-beams with a steel thin-walled profile, which is used primarily as formwork at the stage of construction and installation works, are calculated. Nevertheless, the calculation of the steel profile as an external reinforcement increases the load-bearing capacity of the beams by 50%. To assess the fact effect of the steel thin-walled profile on the strength characteristics of structural elements, experimental studies are conducted. According to the results of the experiment, it is found that the contribution of the steel thin-walled profile to the bearing capacity of the beams is 15%, while if the profile slip due to anchoring in the supporting zones is reduced, the bearing capacity increases by 50-60% compared to similar beams without a profile

This paper deals with problems connected with the design and operation of thin-walled steel silos for storing pelleted materials. A failure of a faultily designed silo is described and its causes are examined. The parameters of the stored material were determined. The exceptional (unforeseen) loads produced by arching and their consequences were analysed. In order to compare the effect of calculation assumptions on the degree of use of the load-bearing capacity of the stringer its buckling capacity under the stored material load alone was checked. On the basis of the analyses the probable course of the events leading to the failure was determined. It is pointed out that the exceptional loads and the disturbance of the bulk material flow by silo structural and technological fittings need to be taken into account in the design of silos.
