Stability of elevated liquid‐filled conical tanks under seismic loading, Part I—theory
Abstract
Conical steel shells are widely used as water containments for elevated tanks. However, the current codes for design of water structures do not specify any procedure for handling the seismic design of such structures. In this paper, a numerical model is developed for studying the stability of liquid‐filled conical tanks subjected to seismic loading. The model involves a previously formulated consistent shell element with geometric and material …
