In this paper, the seismic responses of column supported tanks under horizontal earthquake
are obtained by finite element method. Two types of structures are discussed including the …

API650-2008 is one of the prominent codes consisting of seismic specifications to design
steel storage tanks for earthquakes resistance. In spite of the code's broad application, there …

A roadmap is outlined for determining comprehensive seismic fragility curves for (single or
groups of) spherical pressure vessel structures commonly found in oil refineries. The …

Numerical studies on the seismic behavior of a typical spherical liquid storage tank,
equipped with conventional braces or retrofitted with passive energy dissipation devices, are …

Storage tanks are structures widely employed in various chemical and petroleum industries
for the storage of liquids and gases. These structures, which store flammable and explosive …

This paper provides a brief literature review on dynamic behavior of liquid storage
containers. Moreover, the free vibration of two-dimensional deformable rectangular tanks …

Within the PROINDUSTRY project a Performance-based analysis framework is defined for
seismic assessment of industrial structures, based on Nonlinear Response History Analysis …

Tanks of different shapes and sizes are installed in almost each section of industry and are
used as storage for various types of liquids. Therefore, liquid storage tanks should be …

An adequate design of pressure vessels, also for seismic actions, is crucial in particular if
due to hazardous content the consequences of failure may become very severe. While very …

The pressure vessels design process is a modular approach which is always advised and
encouraged to comply by related codes and regulations to conform to a more uniform …
