Seismic models for buried tanks

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6941857
Numerical models to treat the problem of evaluating the seismic response of partially filled buried flexible tanks are presented. Approximate sloshing and finite element models are used to estimate the response of the fluid. Transfer functions associated with the soil/tank/fluid system obtained by alternate methods are presented. Finally, the effects of fluid discretization on the seismic stresses of the tank are examined.
