Numerical Analysis of the Seismic Response of Underground Steel Storage Tanks
The seismic behaviour of underground structures is generally satisfactory compared to the above-ground ones. However, despite of the buried structure confinement, in recent strong seismic events some underground structure as tunnels, pipelines and tanks suffered high damage; for this reason, a strong effort is focused to evaluate the seismic vulnerability of these structure and to give codes in...
متن کاملStability and vibration analyses of tapered columns resting on one or two-parameter elastic foundations
This paper presents a generalized numerical method to evaluate element stiffness matrices needed for the free vibration and stability analyses of non-prismatic columns resting on one- or two-parameter elastic foundations and subjected to variable axial load. For this purpose, power series approximation is used to solve the fourth–order differential equation of non-prismatic columns with v...
متن کاملModeling Stone Columns
This paper reviews the main modeling techniques for stone columns, both ordinary stone columns and geosynthetic-encased stone columns. The paper tries to encompass the more recent advances and recommendations in the topic. Regarding the geometrical model, the main options are the "unit cell", longitudinal gravel trenches in plane strain conditions, cylindrical rings of gravel in axial symmetry ...
متن کاملNeptune: Above-Ground Storage Tank Inspection Robot System
The Neptune system is a mobile robot system used to remotely inspect above-ground storage tanks (ASTs) while immersed in the petroleum product, in order to ascertain from the inside-out the state of corrosion of the floor and side-walls using video and ultrasonics, according to the guidelines laid out by the American Petroleum Institute (API). The robot system allows unmanned entry and sensor d...
متن کاملNumerical Analysis of Geosynthetic-Encased Stone Columns under Laterally Loads
Out of all methods for ground improvement, stone column became more popular these days due to its simple construction and economic consideration. Installation of stone column especially in loose fine graded soil causes increasing in load bearing capacity and settlement reduction. Encased granular stone columns (EGCs) are commonly subjected to vertical load. However, they may also be subjected t...
