[ 1 ] - Study on Fundamental Frequencies of Cylindrical Storage Tanks Obtained from Codes and Finite Element Method

In the case of study on the seismic behavior of tanks, one of the most important subjects is selection of convective and impulsive frequencies for storage tanks. These two frequencies are defined by Housner. The major utility of these frequencies is for Rayleigh damping which is a must for time history analysis. API 650, EUROCODE 8 have suggested some analytical solutions for finding convective...

[ 2 ] - Investigating Efficiency of Shotcrete for Retrofitting Masonry Buildings

One of a feasible and efficient method to retrofit structures is spraying shotcrete which is widely applied around the world. Shotcrete is concrete with fine aggregates which are sprayed through a hose and by air pressure coat at high velocity onto a surface. In the current research, three masonry schools from different regions of Iran are selected. The retrofitted wall surfaces have been prepa...

[ 3 ] - Study on the dynamic behavior of cylindrical steel liquid storage tanks using finite element method

Dynamic behavior of ground supported cylindrical storage tanks (CST) is of crucial importance because of its applications in industrial complexes. Seismic behavior of tanks is greatly affected by the height to diameter ratio, fluid height and fluid type. Five CSTs with different height to diameter ratios, three CSTs with the same height and diameters but various fluid heights and one CST with t...
