In civil engineering, shell structures are widely used as liquid-containment vessels.
Understanding how the shell responds to relevant loading conditions is important for the …

An optimal design method based on closed-form analytical solutions is proposed for a liquid
storage tank with inerter isolation system. The storage tank is modeled accounting for the …

Base-isolation systems are widely used to reduce the hydrodynamic base shear and
overturning moment of liquid storage tanks with increased isolator displacements and liquid …

Inerter-based isolation systems are effective in providing seismic protection for storage
tanks. However, the vibration control-oriented mechanism of inerter-based seismic isolation …

In this study, a hybrid method, which simultaneously adjusts structural mass, stiffness, and
damping, is proposed to reduce the sloshing of cylindrical tanks under ground motions …

An adequate seismic protection of steel storage tanks of industrial, chemical and
petrochemical plants is essential since potential consequences of failures, besides the …

Base-isolated liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage tanks are prone to violent liquid sloshing
and large isolator displacements when subjected to near-fault earthquakes, which are …

This paper aims to develop the fragility curves of base isolated liquid storage tanks under
near-fault ground motions. Liquid storage tanks are important lifeline structures for industrial …

A simple evaluation method of building resilience is proposed, and the resilience of elastic‐
plastic high‐rise buildings is evaluated under resonant long‐duration ground motions. The …

Conventional base-isolation systems can significantly reduce the hydrodynamic pressure on
the walls of large liquid storage tanks, but they have limited or even adverse effects on the …
