Abstract: Making use of a relatively simple, approximate but reliable method of analysis, a study is made of the responses to horizontal base shaking of vertical, rigid circular cylindrical tanks that are filled with a uniform ...

Abstract: The analysis of the response to horizontal base shaking for solid-containing rigid tanks, described in a companion paper, is extended to flexible tanks. Simple, approximate expressions for the critical responses are ...

Abstract: A critical evaluation is made of the response to horizontal ground shaking of flexible cantilever retaining walls that are elastically constrained against rotation at their base. The retained medium is idealized as a ...

Abstract: Following a brief review of the inaccuracies that may result from the use of a popular model for evaluating the dynamic soil pressures and associated forces induced by ground shaking in a rigid wall retaining an elastic ...

Abstract: Following a brief review of the limitations of a popular technique for modeling the soil action in analyses of the dynamic response of deeply embedded cylindrical foundations and structures, the sources of the limitations ...
