The article presents the developed finite element model of the emergency oil discharge system pipelines with a junction to the tank. Numerical modeling was carried out in the ANSYS software complex, with the help of which the model of the junction under consideration was created, considering the geometric and physical nonlinearity of the structure. A design model for the structure deformation is proposed in case the base subsidence develops. With the help of the tabulated function, it was possible to determine the value of subsidence at which critical stresses arise in the metal. Dependences of the maximum effective stresses in the metal structures of the wall to emergency discharge system pipeline junction on the RVS-20000 subsidence values are obtained. When the tank subsidence value is 144 mm, the limiting state in the wall and the junction to the pipeline occurs and the metal passes into the state of developing plastic deformations.
