About this document
Seismic Analysis of Unanchored Tanks by Mark Bookersberk is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses methods for analyzing unanchored liquid storage tanks during earthquakes. It describes how unanchored tanks are prone to uplifting due to the hydrodynamic pressure from the liquid. Uplift can cause damage like breaking connecting pipes, buckling of the tank wall, and fracturing where the base plate meets the shell wall. The document also reviews several methods that have been used to model and analyze the behavior of unanchored tanks during earthquakes.
