Hi.......
Please let me know, why there is a thickness variation in column shell sections at same design condition. Like bottom shell course have more thickness and IInd may be same or less and so on.
Thnx in Advance.

But I saw a example in which bottom shell course had 25 mm thickness and IInd one had 16 mm and then the again on the 5th shell course the thickness was 25mm.
Why is it?

repeating the same design multiple times IS cheaper than starting fresh every time.

Not unusual to see lower shell courses being thicker, as mentioned by others due to hydrostatic head, CA issues, and wind and seismic.
What is a bit unusual is the circumstance you describe with the fifth course being thicker as well. So, let me ask you: Do the first and fifth courses have large nozzles in them? The thicker shell courses may be used for nozzle reinforcement, either area replacement, or for large piping loads.
