Introduction 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 کاملApplication of Fuzzy Modeling to Earthquake Engineering: Seismic Performance of Cylindrical Tanks
The fuzzy logic concept provides a natural way of dealing with problems in which the source of imprecision is an absence of sharply defined criteria rather than the presence of random variables. The fuzzy approach considers cases where uncertainties play a role in the control mechanism of the concerned phenomena. Fuzzy modeling includes fuzzification, fuzzy analysis and defuzzification. In this...
متن کاملRecent Advances in Seismic Response Analysis of Cylindrical Liquid Storage Tanks
Japan is in a seismically active area and experiences many damaging earthquakes with loss of life. In 1995, the Hyogoken-Nanbu earthquake caused major destruction in Kobe City and in 2011 the Great Eastern Japan earthquake and tsunami caused major destruction in the Pacific coast areas of northeastern Japan. Additionally, recent relatively less destructive earthquakes include the 2003 Tokachi-O...
متن کاملnumerical investigation on accuracy of mass spring models for cylindrical tanks under seismic excitation
the main objective of this article is evaluation of the simplified models which have been developed for analysis and design of liquid storage tanks. the empirical formulas of these models for predicting maximum sloshing wave height (mswh) are obtained from mass spring models (msm). a finite element modeling (fem) tool is used for investigating the behavior the some selected liquid storage tanks...
متن کاملImproving seismic performance of elevated cylindrical water storage tanks using nonlinear isolators incorporating liquid–structure interaction
Pervasive construction of elevated liquid tanks as the most important sources for urban hygienic water, and their failure under earthquake, highlighs the necessity for research toward new passive control devices. Design and use of base-isolation systems for elevated liquid tanks is propounded as a novel seismic engineering technology. To date, no special examination has been discussed in relati...
