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 …

Globally, tanks play a major part in the provision of access to clean drinking water to the
human population. Beyond aiding in the supply of fresh water, tanks are also essential for …

Earthquakes are among the most destructive natural disasters and have resulted in a
massive number of fatalities and economic losses all over the world. Simulated ground …

Large tanks are extensively used for storing water, petrochemicals and fuels. Since they are
often cited in earthquake-prone areas, the safe and continuous operation of these important …

Large-scale liquid storage tanks are used worldwide for storing water, chemicals and fuels,
such as liquefied natural gas (LNG) and oil. Any major damage due to man-made or natural …

In order to ensure the continuity of the production process and avoid health, security, and
ecological problems, the protection of the liquid storage tanks (LSTs) in industrial complexes …

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 …

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 …

Turkey is characterized by a high level of seismic activity attributed to its complex tectonic
structure. The country has a dense network to record earthquake ground motions; however …

This research addresses the influence of the load characteristics, that is, frequency content
and maximum acceleration, on the wall stresses of an anchored water storage tank. A low …
