An adequate seismic protection of steel storage tanks of industrial, chemical and
petrochemical plants is essential since potential consequences of failures, besides the …

It is known that, earthquakes have caused severe damages to a large number of industrial
facilities, mainly storage tanks with extremely serious economic and environmental …

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of a concave sliding bearing system for
the seismic protection of liquefied gas storage tanks through a seismic fragility analysis. An …

In this paper, the effectiveness of the base isolation on steel storage tanks has been
investigated through numerical models and then checked by shaking table tests on a …

Industrial silos are used for storing a huge range of different materials. In the last decades,
many of these structures were damaged by natural events, among which the earthquakes …

Because of the booming of the winery industry in some seismic countries such as, the US,
Italy, Chile and Argentina, the seismic protection of wine storage tanks may be of a practical …

This paper deals with the effectiveness of two isolation systems for the seismic protection of
elevated steel storage tanks. In particular, the performance of high damping rubber bearings …

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 …

Curved surface sliding bearings, which are usually called as friction pendulum system (FPS)
are commonly used for base isolation of liquid storage tanks since the period of the isolation …

This paper presents a series of shaking table tests on a full-scale flat-bottom steel silo filled
with soft wheat, under isolated-base conditions. The tested specimen is a 3.64 m-diameter …
