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

Field observations following the May 2012 Emilia, Italy, earthquakes have revealed the
seismic vulnerability of storage steel tanks typical of the past Italian design practice …

The uplift capacity factor of cylindrical suction caisson in anisotropic and inhomogeneous
clays considering the adhesion factor at the interface is investigated in this paper. The finite …

This paper presents the numerical and experimental evaluation of a vertical‐rocking
isolation (VRI). This evaluation is done by 1‐D shaking table tests performed on a full‐scale …

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 …

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 …

Seismic damage affecting industrial-process components can cause severe disruption,
leading to not-negligible profit reduction associated with business interruption. Hence, the …

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

In this paper, a novel device called the “ISO3D-2G” is proposed for a three-dimensional
vertical rocking isolation (VRI) system. The VRI system works by isolating critical vibration …

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 …
