Spheric tanks: a review and proposal

Abstract

Because no reviews found about spheric tanks in literature we made the first one. This first review deal with design alternatives and costs involved in gas tank storage. Building costs calculations advances are not really developed in literature. Finally, in the conclusions, we present a future work related with the building-cost optimization of this kind of structure accounting ASME rules for construction of pressure vessels. To achieve optimization in the construction and cost calculation of this kind of structure it is necessary to merge knowledge of mechanical and industrial engineering. This knowledge merge will give novel results.
