Abstract
This work presents the accident statistics of steel vertical tanks with a detailed review of the identified causes and consequences of their occurrence. Information on accidents was collected on the basis of the Internet sources, literature on this issue, as well as scientific publications of the previous years. It is also considered the prerequisites for the necessity to study this issue; the focus is paid on the most large-scale accidents of the last century, which served as an impetus for the introduction of methods for predicting accidents. Accidents materials statistics of steel vertical tanks over the past years have been worked over in the paper. The need to create an algorithm for modeling the probability of an accident at a construction site of the highest level of danger, which is based on the commercial need for such calculations on the construction customer side, has been formulated. Based on collected and studied material, a chart of the accidents types’ percentage at the enhanced safety facility for 2009–2019 has been compiled. As a result of the carried work, the most common accidents types in steel vertical tanks have been identified and appropriate conclusions have been made. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the reservoir destruction from precipitation, which indicates a decrease in the cases of geometric shape defects detection and uneven draft. The reasons for referring steel vertical tanks to one of the most dangerous industrial facilities have been outlined.
