1 Scope
The following calculation is based on the current German guideline DVS 2205-2 for vertical, cylindrical
workshop-fabricated tanks of thermoplastic materials. The measurements used in this calculation are
based on customer data.

For the application of this calculation, it is necessary to comply with the following prerequisites:

- The welding of the shells with each other and with the bottom corresponds to one of the
variants indicated on Fig. 1 of DVS 2205-2 supplement 6.
- The reinforcing shell is shrunk on to the lowest course without any gaps or any
impermissible pretension.
- The characteristic material values are identical for both shells.
- No openings in the reinforced region.

Tanks, installed in a region outside of Germany should be designed in accordance with the rules and
regulations valid for that area. In agreement with the operator a calculation with the RITA-software based
on DIN 4149 can be performed, in case information about the ground acceleration, geological soil class
and soil class are available.

For the validation of this static calculation, it is necessary to comply with the following prerequisites:

- The tank can be installed inside or outside a building. The tanks basement should be in direct contact
with the ground. In case the tank is installed in higher floors of a building, on a platform etc. additional
proof considering the movement of the whole system is required.
- The tank should always be anchored directly or in case of a tank inside a collecting tank indiretly to the
foundation. The construction of the lower and upper support structure should be in accordance with
pictures 1 and 2 in DVS 2205-2 supplement 4. in case of deviating designs corresponding proofs are
required.

The welding seams should be in accordance with the corresponding DVS guideline.

Remark:
For the calculation the values and the formula symbols of the guideline DVS 2205-2 are used. These are
shown in the annex of the calculation. Other used parameters for example AD are shown direct in the
text.

The time of influence for short-term active loadings is determined with 10-1 hours.

Water hammers which may occur when filling shall be avoided by appropriate measures.

3.3.1 Internal and external pressure püK, puK

According to the customers specification no higher pressures in the tank are existing. Therefore the
minimum pressures according to DVS 2205-2 Section 1 are quoted. From the definition of püK it is
determined
püK  pü. It is the same for puK.
The following value is assumed

Over pressure: 0,0005 N/mm² (0,005 bar)

Depression: 0,0003 N/mm² (0,003 bar)

3.3.2 Live loads on the roof

The roofs must not be walked on if load distributing measures have not been carried out.
Corresponding precautions are to be taken at installations and inspection works.

3.3.6 Installation loadings

The tank shall be designed for the loading conditions arising at transport and installation. Thereby it
shall be calculated with the 1,5fold installation loading. The safety factor is according

Partial Safety Concept: F1 = 1,35

The short-time welding factor according to DVS 2205-1 is to be considered.


3.3.7 Seismic load

The periodic time is calculated on a clamped bending shear beam with the wall thickness at a point two
thirds of the way along, taking into account the intrinsic weight of the tank and the additional roof loads GA
and gA, the 1.5-fold value of the static E-modulus being used as the dynamic E-modulus. The periodic
time from filling is calculated by using the formula (A.24) from DIN EN 1998-4.
For the given geological soil class and the soil class the geological soil parameter S and the values for TB,
TC and TD are obtained.
The calculation value of the horizontal acceleration ah and the calculation value of the vertical
acceleration av are in accordance with DIN 4149 Sect. 5.4.3 calculated from the ground acceleration ag,
the geological soil parameter S, the amplification factor β0, the value of significance γlE, the behaviour
factor q and the reading value on a spectrum normalised to one.
Area: Other countries

Geological soil class: T Soil class: C

Ground acceleration: ag 0.40 m/s² Geological soil parameter: S 1.25


Normalised spectral value: 0.99 Value of significance:  IE 1,6
Amplification factor:  0 2,5 Factor of behaviour: q 1,5

Calculation value: a v 0.93 m/s² Calculation value: ah 1.33 m/s²

Periodic time: T 0.40 s

The global moment (product of the masses (filling, roof, cylinder, additional roof masses from GA and
gA), the calculation value of the horizontal acceleration and the lever arm) is required at the lower limit
of the courses and at the level of the nozzles.
For the calculation of the earthquake moment in the height x the following formula is obtained from.

3.4 Temperature

Wetted parts are designed for the mean medium temperature TM in case of long time loading effects and
for the maximum medium temperature TMK in case of short time loading effects. The mean temperature is
defined as the temperature, which causes the same decrease in material strength like alternating
temperatures do according to Miner's rule. The average of the two neighbouring air temperatures is taken
as wall temperature for not wetted parts. The air temperature in the tank is assumed to be the medium
temperature.

4 Design calculation
The safety factor is defined in Direction DVS 2205-1 for proofs of strength and stability.
In general, the following is applicable:
Sd  1
Rd
with Sd dimensioning value of the stresses
Rd dimensioning value of the stress ability

In this respect, the characteristic effects or the stresses are multiplied by the partial safety coefficients γF
according to Table 1.

Table 1. Partial safety coefficients of the effects.


Effect Partial safety coefficient
Dead weight, filling and assembly γF1 = 1,35
Pressures, wind and snow γF2 = 1,5
Stress-reducing dead weight γF3 = 0,9
Earthquake γF4 = 1,0

4.1.2 Overlapping of effects


Three loading categories are distinguished according to the time of influence:
- short-term active loadings (K), e.g. püK, puK, pus, peu, wind
- medium-term active loadings (M), e.g. Snow pS or summer temperatures – not important for
inside installation
- long-term active loadings (L), e.g. own weight, filling, pü, pu
According to DVS 2205 for all proofs of strength a double proof were made.

1) It is proved that the load due to long-term active loadings in overlapping with the effects of a mean-
term time of influence but without short-term loadings does not exceed the creep strength.

KL,d* = Creep strength for the calculated usable life at the mean active temperature.
KM,d* = Creep strength for the mean-term influence (e.g. at snow for 3 months at 0 ° C for the roof).

2) It is proved that the load due to short-term loading in overlapping with the remaining effects does not
exceed the residual solidity of the material at the end of the calculated usable life. In this case the
creep strength is determined with 10-1 hours as residual solidity.

with KK,d* = creep strength for 10-1 hours at the temperature belonging to this loading combination.
For the proof of solidity of the roof it is verified wether the consideration of snow loading leads to
unfavourable results since the sum of loadings will be increased, but the creep strength will also increase
due to the active wall temperature of 0 ° C.
The more unfavourable of the two proofs for the measuring of the components were decisive.
4.1.3 Shell
The height of the lower section hZF have to be at least hZF  14

thickness a wall thickness relation of the neighbouring sections of max. 2 is admissible without further
proof.

4.1.3.1 Proof in circumferential direction

The proof is furnished for each section that the lower edge can withstand the ring tensile stress resulting
from the contents and overpressure. The double proof is furnished according to 4.1.2 with

In the case of cylinders made from sheets the welding factor of the shell weld fS is considered.

The residual stresses from the bending of the sheets at ambient temperature may be neglected if the
s
values given in table 2 for the permissible edge expansion e   100 [%] according to DVS 2205-2 are
d
not exceeded. With bending the sheets at elevated temperatures the residual stresses can be reduced
obviously. Therefore RITA permits an edge expansion of 2 % for sheets which are bended at elevated
temperatures. For the proper heating- and forming- process the tank manufacturer is responsible for. In
the case of PVC, the sheets are hot-formed.
In the calculation the following values are calculated:

Minimum wall thickness of the inner layer in the double wall section: s Z ,n  15.00 mm
Thickness of supporting shell: s Z ,0  8.00 mm
Minimum height of the supporting layer: hZ , 0  340.00 mm

4.1.9 Lifting lugs

One of the possible lug forms is shown in the sketch. A precondition for the use of these lifting lugs is that
only two lifting lugs per tank and a parallel lifter is used.

In order to be able to dispense with a proof of the introduction of loading in the upper section it has to be
ensured that the lifting lug is no thicker than three times the wall thickness of the upper section. The
diameter of hole (dL) shall be matched for the
diameter of the shackle (dsch).

The thickness of weld seam has to be 0,7 sZ,1.

It applies: sZ,1  s Öerf  3 × sZ,1

dSch  dL  1,1 × dSch

Herewith it is proved that 1,5 times of the


loading can be borne momentarily at 20 ° C.

4.2.2.4 Axial stability for seismic load

For every course i the axial compressive stress which exists at the lower edge and consists of the
dead weight (incl. weight of the roof), the internal vacuum pu as well as the earthquake moment is

To consider the influence of the vertical earthquake acceleration, the normal force resulting from the
dead load is multiplied by the following factor:

Calculation base
The tank calculation is based on the guideline DVS 2205 and in its mentioned guides such as DIN, EN, AD-Merkblätter in that
version which is valid at time of programming this version of RITA.
In detail, the following technical regulations are required for sizing the components:
The nominal material values are determined in accordance with DVS 2205-1 (01.15), with the supplementary pages 1 (11.11),
2 (09.13), 3 (09.13), 4 (09.13).
The reducing coefficients for the media flow were taken from the media list 40 Issue 03.2016 of the (Deutsches Institut für Bautech-
nik, German Institute for Building Technology) Berlin.
The standing, round, non-pressurised tanks are calculated in accordance with the guideline DVS 2205-2 (12.15) with the supple-
mentary pages 2 (12.15) for Collecting tanks, 3 (12.15) for flat roofs, 4 (12.15) for seismic calculation and 6 (12.15) for double
layered sections and the technical regulations contained in them.
The calculation of sloped bottoms is based on the guideline DVS 2205-2 supplement 9 (12.15).
The calculation of conical bottoms is based on the guideline DVS 2205-2 supplement 7 (12.15).
