An innovative isolation system for improving the seismic behaviour
Common isolation systems horizontally separate a structure from its base (Fig. 1 a and b).The proposed isolation system is vertically detached from the shell of the AST (Fig. 1
Dynamic responses of non-isolated and isolated liquid storage tanks
The seismic performance of the non-isolated and isolated liquid storage tanks under the mainshock-aftershock sequences is comparatively discussed. Furthermore, it can provide
Seismic vulnerability assessment of base isolated liquid storage tanks
This paper aims to develop the fragility curves of base isolated liquid storage tanks under near-fault ground motions. Liquid storage tanks are important lifeline structures for
Seismic vulnerability assessment of base isolated liquid
fragility curves of non-isolated liquid storage tanks considering plastic deformation in shell and roof as well as elephant foot buckling (EFB) damage states for different liquid storage tank
Seismic Response of a Large LNG Storage Tank Based
Simplified mechanical models of non-isolated and isolated storage tanks are proposed and the seismic responses of the corresponding storage tanks are calculated using the Newmark-beta method.
Review of multiport isolated bidirectional converter interfacing
The topology of the proposed multiport isolated bidirectional dc-dc converter (BDC) is the triple active full bridge (TAB) topology that interfaces battery as primary energy
(PDF) Non-linear seismic response of base-isolated liquid storage tanks
The failure of liquid storage tanks is mainly due to buckling of the tank wall, failure of piping system and uplift of the anchorage system. The seismic behaviour of liquid storage tank is
Fluid storage tanks: A review on dynamic behaviour modelling,
Fluid storage tanks are used for storage, distribution, or process of different kinds of fluids including water, oil, wine, wastes, liquified natural gas (LNG), chemicals, diesel fuel
Improving the seismic performance of base-isolated liquid storage tanks
Large tanks are extensively used for storing water, petrochemicals and fuels. Since they are often cited in earthquake-prone areas, the safe and continuous operation of
Seismic analysis of a LNG storage tank isolated by a multiple
Chalhoub and Kelly (1990) determined favorable effects of base isolation of liquid storage tanks through shake table tests on isolated and non-isolated tanks. In 2000, Bachmann and Wenk
Seismic response of base isolated liquid storage ground tanks
responses are compared with the corresponding responses of non-isolated tanks. Moreover, a para- metric study was conducted to evaluate the effect of tank aspect ratio, isolation period,

A Review of Non-Isolated Bidirectional DC-DC Converters for Energy
The typical solution to this problem is the use of energy storage devices in conjunction with the RES to compensate this variability and obtain a stable and smooth power flow to the load. The
Multi-objective Optimization of Liquid Storage Tanks
This paper aims to develop the fragility curves of base isolated liquid storage tanks under near-fault ground motions. Liquid storage tanks are important lifeline structures for industrial plants
