The theory of nonlinear vibration isolation has witnessed significant developments due to
pressing demands for the protection of structural installations, nuclear reactors, mechanical …

Liquid storage tanks are the lifeline and critical structures for strategic industries including
petrochemical and aerospace industries, refineries, hospitals, water supply and storage …

The analytical seismic response of multi-story buildings isolated by the friction pendulum
system (FPS) is investigated under near-fault motions. The superstructure is idealized as a …

Sloshing wave height is a main parameter in the seismic design of liquid storage tanks, and
severe sloshing may lead to the liquid leakage or buckling of the steel tank wall. To …

Seismic response analysis assesses structural safety and integrity during earthquakes and
guides design for optimal performance, compliance with regulations, and risk mitigation …

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 …

The seismic isolation of ground-supported cylindrical liquid storage tank using the newly
developed oblate spheroid base isolation (OSBI) system is investigated. The OSBI is an …

The optimal design of inertial amplifier base isolators (IABI) for dynamic response mitigation
of multi-storey buildings subjected to base excitations has been studied in this paper. In …

Conventional base-isolation systems can significantly reduce the hydrodynamic pressure on
the walls of large liquid storage tanks, but they have limited or even adverse effects on the …

A numerical study of the base-isolated ground-supported cylindrical liquid storage tank is
carried out using finite element method (FEM). The coupled acoustic-structural (CAS) …
