This study developed a finite element model to address the issue of non-uniform settlement in large crude oil storage tanks. The consisted four key components: tank foundation, bottom plate, wall and fillet welds. Ramberg-Osgood was used describe material’s nonlinearity. Key factors such as radius-to-thickness ratio, height-to-diameter harmonic number, amplitude were evaluated for their impact on radial deformation tank’s top wall. Two numerical models developed—one accounting coupling effect between foundation bottom, other without it. differences these analyzed, revealing that minimally influenced by but increased with higher ratios amplitudes. At low liquid levels, at high it decreased once number exceeded due decoupling from foundation. considering exhibited less compared one neglecting it, particularly increased. An improved evaluation method identified critical range amplitudes 100,000 m3 tank, within which can be reasonably neglected, allowing calculated using simpler model.
