Abstract: A simple practical procedure is presented for evaluating the dynamic response of an upright circular cylindrical liquid storage tank to a vertical component of ground shaking, considering the flexibility of the supporting ...

Abstract: A comprehensive analysis is made of the harmonic rocking response of massless, rigid, ring foundations supported at the surface of a homogeneous elastic half‐space. The parameters considered include the thickness‐to‐radius ...

Abstract: A comprehensive analysis is made of the dynamic response of vertically excited circular ring foundations with mass that are supported at the surface of a homogeneous, linear halfspace. The harmonic response of such foundations ...

Abstract: An approximate deterministic method of analysis is presented for assessing the effects of ground‐motion incoherence and of the associated soil‐structure interaction on the seismic response of structure‐foundation‐soil ...

Abstract: A simple, computationally efficient procedure is presented with which the steady‐state response of a discrete linear system to a periodic excitation may be computed from an analysis of its transient response over a single ...

Abstract: A comprehensive analysis is made of the dynamic response of liquid containing, upright circular cylindrical tanks to a rocking base motion of arbitrary temporal variation. Both rigid and flexible tanks are examined. Critical ...

Abstract: Salient features of the free vibration of simply supported, inclined parabolic cables are examined, and simple approximate expressions are presented with the aid of which the complete spectrum of natural frequencies can ...

Abstract: The dynamic impedances of a vertically or torsionally excited viscoelastic soil layer with a thin disturbed zone around the edge of a central circular hole are evaluated and compared, over a range of parameters, with those ...

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 ...
