Seismic Response of Liquid Storage Tanks: A Mode-Matching Approach Considering both Fluid-Structure and Soil-Structure Interaction

Liquid storage tanks are used worldwide to contain liquids such as drinking water, fuel and chemicals. Loss of containment during a seismic event can add to an earthquake’s destructiveness by posing a fire hazard, spilling toxic substances or reducing the supply of drinking water. It is therefore important that they remain operational at a pre...
