A critical review of past earthquakes reveals damage/failure of important lifeline facilities like
elevated water tanks in recurrence, leading to serious hazards even after the event. In the …

This paper investigates the effects of foundation embedment on the seismic behavior of fluid-
elevated tank-foundation–soil system with a structural frame supporting the fluid containing …

This research experimentally addresses the seismic response of a cylindrical liquid storage
tank in terms of six factors, ie, acceleration, displacement, hoop and axial stresses in the …

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 …

ABSTRACT A detailed numerical framework for seismic analysis of liquid storage tanks
considering soil-structure interaction (SSI) is presented. Lumped mass model for the tank …

Seismic performance of elevated liquid storage tanks, considering soil–structure interaction
(SSI), is investigated. The effects of considering SSI on the peak seismic responses, as well …

The seismic design codes/standards of most countries include the nonlinear response of a
structure implicitly through a response reduction/modification factor (R). It is the factor by …

The study of earthquakes indicates that earthquakes have a significant impact on the grid
system, as well as significant catastrophic effects on human life, buildings, bridges and other …

This paper discusses the failure mechanism of elevated concrete tanks with shaft and frame
staging (supporting system) along with seismic behavior of these construction types. In order …

Water, a vital resource for sustaining life, requires proper storage. Elevated water tanks are
constructed to serve this purpose. These tanks must operate reliably, even during and after …
