Abstract: At the event of severe earthquakes, the tank rocking response appears subsequent to the tank bulging response. A springmassrigid body combined model was proposed for analyzing the tank response and the required quantities ...

Abstract: This study proposes the use of a slice model consisting of a set of thin rectangular tanks for evaluating the masses of fluid contributing to the rocking motion of cylindrical tanks; the effective mass of fluid for rocking ...

Abstract: Assuming very large slide displacement subsequent to tank rock motion to be a possible scenario of tank walk motion, fundamental mechanics of the walk motion of unanchored flatbottom cylindrical shell model tanks subjected ...
