This Tutorial Manual contains an overview of dealing with analyzing circular cylindrical shells structures. It is also considered, circular cylindrical tank resting on layered soil as one unit taking into account the soil-structure interaction effect. It describes the processes of modeling the problems, carrying out the analyses, viewing and printing the results. It provides the user skills, which he needs to use ELPLA. It also takes the user gradually through some simple examples. Carrying out these examples will help the user to become familiar with the most important functions of ELPLA for analyzing shell structures. Before attempting a real project with ELPLA, it is recommended that the user tries to carry out the given problems.
Example 1: Analysis of a circular loaded area resting on different soil layers
An example of a loaded area resting on different soil layers is selected to illustrate some features of ELPLA for analyzing shell elements using circular and annular elements.
