Original water tank that failed (a,b,c) and the re-designed tank (d)

This is Fig 3 from the 1986 BOSOR5 user's manual paper. This slide shows large steel water tanks and BOSOR5 models of them:

(a) geometry of the original tank that failed in 1972;

(b) BOSOR5 segmented and branched model of this tank;

(c) BOSOR5 prediction of the axisymmetric deformation just before the predicted collapse;

(d) the redesigned tank and deformation predicted by BOSOR5.
