Abstract: In 2017, Hurricane Harvey, highlighted the vulnerability of floating roof storage tanks to severe rainfall events. Several floating roofs failed due to rainwater accumulating on them, causing the release of hundreds of ...

Abstract: Probabilistic models to evaluate the vulnerability of aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) subjected to waterborne debris impacts during storm surge events are currently lacking, despite evidence of debris-induced damage during ...

Abstract: The large amount of debris generated in the aftermath of hurricane and storm events can cause severe financial and logistical burdens to coastal communities. Existing debris estimation models mainly focus on wind-induced ...

Abstract: Concrete gravity dams are essential infrastructure components and because of earlier design practices, they may be vulnerable to future earthquake events. Therefore, their vulnerability is important to characterize, ...

Abstract: This paper presents an overview of laboratory experiments of vertical cylinders representative of aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) subjected to waves. The main objective is to provide an experimental dataset for the ...

Abstract: Industrial infrastructures such as aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) have suffered major damage in past hurricanes, affecting not only the environment but also the well-being of communities. This study presents a framework ...
