Abstract: Free‐standing, unanchored liquid‐storage tanks have the tendency to lift off their base under the overturning influence of the hydrodynamic wall pressures generated during earthquakes. Fundamental to the analysis of these ...

Abstract: A study of the principal effects of base uplifting on the seismic response of laterally excited, unanchored, cylindrical liquid‐storage tanks is made. The analysis is implemented by a procedure that is highly efficient and ...

Abstract: A method is presented for the analysis of the base plates in cylindrical liquid‐storage tanks that are uplifted under the overturning influence of the hydrodynamic wall pressures induced by earthquakes. Due consideration ...

Abstract: A solution, based on Ritz energy method, is presented for the uplifting analysis of a uniformly loaded semi-infinite beam supported on a rigid foundation. Motivated by a need to understand the ...
