The subsoil was modeled in the form of an elastic half-space and Winkler springs. The behavior of the shell structure of the RC cylindrical tank, and particularly of the ground slab interacting with the subsoil, depends largely on the distribution of the reactions on the foundation surface. An analysis of this structure with the shell fixed in a circular ground slab was carried out taking into consideration the elastic half-space model using the Gorbunov-Posadov approach and, for comparison, the two-parameter Winkler model. Although the results for both subsoil models proved to be divergent, the conclusions that follow the accuracy assessment of a solution based on the theory of elasticity are fairly important for engineering practice.}, type={Article}, title={Accuracy assessment of linear elasticity solution for interaction of cylindrical tank with subsoil}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/118957/PDF/25_01831_Bpast.No.69(1)_20.02.21_K2_A.pdf}, doi={10.24425/bpasts.2021.136039}, keywords={RC tank, cylindrical tank, soil-structure interaction, theory of elasticity, Winkler model}, }
