The strain distribution at the junction of a spherical reactor vessel and its supporting skirt is investigated using electrical resistance stram gauges with "Perspex" models. The experimental results are verified theoretically for several structural configurations, including a spherical reactor vessel having an outer cylindrical skirt only; and a spherical reactor vessel having both inner and outer cylindrical skirts. Throughout the investigation it is assumed that no axial loading exists in the skirt structure and that the loading is appropriate to a reactor vessel under uniform radial pressure. (auth)
