A Comparison between Different Editions of API650 Seismic Provisions for Cylindrical Steel Storage Tanks Considering the Fragility Curves
Seismic safety of liquid storage tanks is of considerable importance due to its application in different industries. In Iran, most of these storage tanks are designed based on API650 code provisions. Despite designing tanks according to API standard, the lesson learned from previous earthquakes, shows different kind of damage occurring on them. This study is an investigation on evaluating diffe...
متن کاملFluid damping of cylindrical liquid storage tanks
A method is proposed in order to calculate the damping effects of viscous fluids in liquid storage tanks subjected to earthquakes. The potential equation of an ideal fluid can satisfy only the boundary conditions normal to the surface of the liquid. To satisfy also the tangential interaction conditions between liquid and tank wall and tank bottom, the potential flow is superimposed by a one-dim...
متن کاملIntroduction of Air Cushion to Reduce Seismic Demand in Cylindrical Water Storage Tanks
Water storage tanks not designed explicitly for seismic loading could require retrofit. One of the common ways of retrofit include some structural change in the lateral load resisting system that could be expensive and requires the tank to be out of service for relatively long time. This paper introduces a novel method to reduce seismic demand on tank’s wall without structural intervention. Thi...
متن کاملRunaway Prevention in Cumene Hydroperoxide Storage Tanks
In this work thermal runaway of cumene hydroperoxide (CHP) in a storage tank with constant jacket temperature is considered. The divergence method developed by Strozzi and Zaldivar (1994) based on the concept of parametric sensitivity and a runaway criterion focused on a set of critical parameters identified by Velo et al. (1996) have been applied to our system. The results obtained from the co...
متن کاملOpportunistic pathogens relative to physicochemical factors in water storage tanks.
Household water in Oman, as well as in other countries in the region, is stored in tanks placed on house roofs that can be subjected to physicochemical factors which can promote microbial growth, including pathogens and opportunistic pathogens which pose health risks. Water samples were collected from 30 houses in a heavily populated suburb of Muscat. The tanks used were either glass reinforced...
