3-D Seismic Evaluation of on Grade Cylindrical Flexible Storage Tanks Considering Soil-Structure Interaction, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Rahimzadeh Rofooei, Fayaz (Supervisor)
Abstract
The circular flexible cylindrical liquid tanks usually are made of steel or aluminum and in majority of cases are built on grade due to its economic advantages. The most important part of a safe design of a storage tanks is the accurate estimation of the seismically induced lateral forces that should be transferred to its base through the tank shell and its support. Seismic behavior of liquid storage tanks is quite different from regular buildings and industrial structures due to its nonlinear behavior caused by complex distribution of hydrodynamic pressure, buckling of its walls, etc.. Moreover, the effect of rocking motion caused by the under laying soft soil, on its response parameters...
