Liquid storage tanks are among vital infrastructures, and their seismic vulnerability
assessment plays a pivotal role in uninterrupted operation of an industrial plant. Technically …

A poor seismic design of liquid storage tanks may result in large economic losses or
environmental impacts due to the spillage of their contents; therefore, an effective seismic …

This paper aims to develop the fragility curves of base isolated liquid storage tanks under
near-fault ground motions. Liquid storage tanks are important lifeline structures for industrial …

When unanchored steel liquid storage tanks are subjected to strong ground motions, the
contained liquid may cause uplift of the tank base resulting in compressive buckling of the …

Large earthquakes in the last 25 years have caused significant damage to buildings and
infrastructure, including the partial or total collapse of storage tanks in various industries …

When cylindrical tanks are subjected to strong seismic excitations, the main characteristic
that they present is the partial uplifting of the base plate due to the hydrodynamic pressure …

Ground-supported unanchored liquid-storage cylindrical tanks, when subjected to strong
seismic loading may exhibit uplifting of their bottom plate, which has significant effects on …

Several types of steel tank are used in industrial plants to store hazardous chemical
products. Most of these are unanchored tanks that are not designed to withstand seismic …

Ground-supported unanchored liquid-storage cylindrical tanks, when subjected to strong
seismic loading may exhibit uplifting of their bottom plate, which may have significant effects …

Liquid‐filled tanks are effective storage infrastructure for water, oil, and liquefied natural gas
(LNG). Many such large‐scale tanks are located in regions with high seismicity. Therefore …
