Checks for:
- global stability and static equilibrium,
- strength of the structure and joints,
- stability (global and local formulas given in Eurocode),
- cyclic plastification,
for Class 1 may be ignored
- fatigue,
- SLS (deflections and vibrations ).
Design allowance for corrosion and abrasion min. 2 mm is recommended!

Except strength checks the stability (buckling) of the shell need to be assessed:
in vertical direction,
in horizontal direction (due to wind and possible depression at discharge).
and
Check formulas (critical values of internal forces, stresses) are given in Eurocode.
Complex checks require FE analysis for all kinds of loadings.
