Liquid storage tanks are the lifeline and critical structures for strategic industries including
petrochemical and aerospace industries, refineries, hospitals, water supply and storage …

This research experimentally addresses the seismic response of a cylindrical liquid storage
tank in terms of six factors, ie, acceleration, displacement, hoop and axial stresses in the …

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 …

A methodology is proposed to enable state‐of‐the‐art record selection using ground motion
components in all three principal loading directions. Relying on the well‐established …

Unanchored steel storage tanks are used in industrial plants to store oil and other
petrochemical liquids. In a major earthquake, such tanks may sustain different types of …

This paper presents a novel energy dissipation device called NWS-TADAS and its
experimental validation. The device was inspired by the flexural failure of the top plate of …

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 …

In this paper, the seismic responses of column supported tanks under horizontal earthquake
are obtained by finite element method. Two types of structures are discussed including the …

This paper investigates the effect of the multi-directional components of ground motion on an
unanchored steel storage tank. Both the liquid sloshing effect and contact behavior between …

Unanchored steel storage tanks, commonly used in industrial facilities, can suffer damage
during major earthquakes due to various failures. To better understand the seismic …
