Major repair or regular inspection of the large capacity thin‐walled tankages is very expensive. Steel cylindrical tanks are an individual case of the thin‐walled tankages. The common calculation of the tanks by analytical and numerical methods is not difficult. Strengthening the places, where a perfect calculated form is disturbed, that is, at the spots of in‐cuts, hatches, defects etc. is a responsible part of the design of such constructions. The problems of prevention of defects during the operation period and repairs, as well as possibility to assure quickly the safety of defective places of the constructions are more important than the common calculations. The main objective of the presented investigations is to identify stress/strain state of the wall tank with local imperfections from the ideal cylindrical surface, taking into account the membrane theory of the shells by using the finite element's method. Santrauka Didelio tūrio statiniu remontai arba net profilaktines apžiūros yra gana brangūs procesai. Metalines cilindrines talpyklos priskiriamos prie atskiros tūriniu plonasieniu konstrukciju grupes. Talpyklu reguliariu konstrukciju analitiniai ar skaitiniai skaičiavimai nera sudetingi. Bet tokiu vietu, kaip konstrukciju jungčiu bei technologines irangos prijungimo projektavi‐mas ar konstrukciju defektu analize yra gerokai svarbesne projektavimo dalis. Defektu prevencija naudojant talpyklas, taip pat defektuotu vietu sustiprinimas yra svarbesnis nei bendrieji talpyklu skaičiavimai. Šio darbo tikslas ‐ nustatyti realaus objekto cilindrines talpyklos sieneles su geometrinemis lokaliomis nuokrypomis itempiu ir deformaciju būvi pagal memb‐ranine kevalu skaičiavimo teorija, taikant baigtiniu elementu metoda.
