The paper considers the classification of steel cylindrical tanks failure from action seismic loads. Features static calculation were revealed. Physical and mechanical properties material geometric parameters vertical tank determined. A full-size finite element model a filled has been developed. was performed. values frequencies periods natural oscillations obtained. Finite method that implemen...

This paper aims to first present a review of studies on numerical modeling and seismic response analysis above ground steel liquid storage tanks. On that basis, procedure for estimating dynamic parameters associated with simplified models anchored unanchored conditions together calculation methods responses damage states tanks are presented. In which, the nonlinear behavior bottom plate in case...

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...
