ABSTRACT
The ultimate strength analysis of presented contaminated vessels is proposed in this paper, Equations have been developed to predict the flexural and shear failure in the wall of this type of vessel. The analysis is applied to Oldburg and Dungeness B vessels. The results are compared with three-dimensional finite element analysis by using the computer program OBAID. Both sets of results are in close agreement.
