[ 1 ] - Improving 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...
