[ 1 ] - Employing Internal Flexible Wall as Mass Absorber in Tanks Subjected to Harmonic Excitations

The possibility of employing internal wall as mass absorber in rectangular water storage tanks subjected to harmonic ground motion excitation is investigated in this paper. Internal walls are used in these tanks usually for service performance purposes, which could be used as mass absorber to control seismic demand on tank's exterior walls. Derivation of the response of the coupled system inclu...
