Book Seismic Design and Analysis of Tanks

Download or read book Seismic Design and Analysis of Tanks written by Gian Michele Calvi and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-04-11 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seismic Design and Analysis of Tanks A detailed view on the effects of seismic activity on tank structures As the use of above-ground and underground storage tanks (ASTs and USTs) continues to grow—with approximately 545,000 in the USA alone—the greatest threat to ASTs and USTs is earthquakes, causing the contamination of groundwater, a vital source of drinking water throughout the world. These tanks suffer a great deal of strain during an earthquake, as a complicated pattern of stress affects them, such that poorly designed tanks have leaked, buckled, or even collapsed during seismic events. Furthermore, in oil and gas industrial plants, the risk of damage is even more critical due to the effects of explosion, collapse, and air or soil contamination by chemical fluid spillages. Seismic Design and Analysis of Tanks provides the first in-depth discussion of the principles and applications of shell structure design and earthquake engineering analyses focused on tank structures, and it explains how these methodologies can help prevent the destruction of ASTs and USTs during earthquakes. Providing a thorough examination of the design, analysis, and performance of steel, reinforced concrete, and precast tanks, this book takes a look at tanks that are above-ground, underground, or elevated, anchored and unanchored, and rigid or flexible, and evaluates the efficacy of each method during times of seismic shaking—and it does so without getting bogged down in impenetrable mathematics and theory. Seismic Design and Analysis of Tanks readers will also find: A global approach to the best analytical and practical solutions available in each region: discussion of the latest US codes and standards from the American Society of Civil Engineers (ACSE 7), the American Concrete Institute (ACI 350,3, 371.R), the American Water Works Association (AWWA D100, D110, D115), and the American Petroleum Institute (API 650) an overview of the European codes and standards, including Eurocode 8-4 and CEN-EN 14015 Hundreds of step-by-step equations, accompanied by illustrations Photographs illustrating real-world damage to tanks caused by seismic events Perfect for practising structural engineers, geotechnical engineers, civil engineers, and engineers of all kinds who are responsible for the design, analysis, and performance of tanks and their foundations—as well as students studying engineering—Seismic Design and Analysis of Tanks is a landmark text, the first work of its kind to deal with the seismic engineering performance of all types of storage tanks.

Book Structural Dynamic Systems Computational Techniques and Optimization

Download or read book Structural Dynamic Systems Computational Techniques and Optimization written by Cornelius T. Leondes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-02 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The finite element, an approximation method for solving differential equations of mathematical physics, is a highly effective technique in the analysis and design, or synthesis, of structural dynamic systems. Starting from the system differential equations and its boundary conditions, what is referred to as a weak form of the problem (elaborated in the text) is developed in a variational sense. This variational statement is used to define elemental properties that may be written as matrices and vectors as well as to identify primary and secondary boundaries and all possible boundary conditions. Specific equilibrium problems are also solved. This book clearly reveals the effectiveness and great significance of the finite element method available and the essential role it will play in the future as further development occurs.

Book Tests on GFRP Reinforced Concrete Knee joints Subjected to Negative Moments

Download or read book Tests on GFRP Reinforced Concrete Knee joints Subjected to Negative Moments written by Nader Sleiman and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of glass-fibre reinforced polymers as main reinforcement in concrete structures has become an appealing option for structures in aggressive environments. Concrete knee-joints are joints where the beam and column both terminate at the joint. The application GFRP reinforcement in knee-joints may be problematic considering the weak link at the reinforcement bend. This is critical because there is a risk of premature failure in the joint due to bar rupture, regardless of adjoining member designs. The behaviour of knee-joints reinforced with GFRP has not been studied before. The presented experimental program consists of eight full scale specimens which were tested under monotonic closing loads. The variables studied are the effect of varying reinforcement ratio, the effect of confinement stirrups in the joint, and the effect of corner geometry. The eight specimens are divided into two groups, confined and unconfined specimens. Of the eight specimens, two are designed with an altered geometry to include an interior chamfer. Test results indicate that an increase in reinforcement ratio improves the strength efficiency while directly altering the failure mode: Failure by bar rupture as the reinforcement ratio increased was prevented and occurred by failure of diagonal strut. The addition of confinement stirrups significantly increased the ultimate strength as well as the maximum deflection. The effect of changing corner geometry has a minor effect on the specimen strength; however, brittle failure in the joint was prevented. Further studies must be conducted including different confinement techniques, different FRP types and suppliers, as well as different loading types such as opening moments and load reversals.
