Dynamic Time-History Response of Cylindrical Tank Considering Fluid - Structure Interaction due to Earthquake

Abstract:

Ground-supported cylindrical tanks are used to store a variety of liquids. The fluid was develops a hydrodynamic pressures on walls and bottom of the tank during earthquake. This paper provides dynamic time-history response of concrete open top cylindrical liquid storage tank considering fluid-structure interaction due to earthquake. Numerical model of cylindrical tank was performed by application of the Finite Element Method (FEM) utilizing software ADINA. Arbitrary-Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) formulation was used for the problem analysis. Two way Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) techniques were used for the simulation of the interaction between the structure and the fluid at the common boundary
