Abstract: Mechanical analogies are widely used to represent the action of hydrodynamic pressures induced by motion of the tank due to earthquake or other excitation. The liquid in the tank is typically replaced by two masses, one ...

Abstract: Cylindrical tanks that are not anchored effectively to their foundations often rock during seismic loading. Vertical compressive forces in the tank wall that are required to resist seismic overturning moments then tend to ...

Abstract: It is shown that for moderate deflection theory, the behavior of a long pressurized elastic‐perfectly plastic cylinder with radially restrained ends under axial compression depends on only two parameters: the ratio of ...
