In this study, Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method was used to model sloshing response of a rectangular tank subjected to horizontal earthquake base excitation. An experiment and a numerical study with ANSYS ...

This paper presents results obtained by numerical study of sloshing effects in medium sized rectangular tanks subjected to a long-period seismic excitation. The Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method is used, and ...

Sıvı depoları; başlıca yakıt, endüstriyel kimyasallar, kullanma ve yangın söndürme suyu depolamakta kullanılan önemli mühendislik yapılarıdır. Sıvı depolarını depremin zarar verici etkilerinden korumayı hedefleyen yeni ...

Cylindrical offshore storage tanks are mainly used to store critical liquids such as petroleum and LNG. Failure of these tanks after an earthquake not only results in high financial losses but can also create an environmental ...

This paper addresses the snow induced collapse of hail protection canopies of a major car dealership in Istanbul, Turkey. Each of them with different plan dimensions has been built to provide an enclosed space of over ...

This paper presents the results of a dynamic investigation with the aim of determining both the optimal shape of an offshore gravity platform column and the required mass of the infill water The natural frequency formulation ...

Accurate prediction of the vibration characteristics of the sloshing motion is essential for the analysis and design of liquid storage tanks subjected to base motion. The virtual mass method is a computationally efficient ...

Field reports from past earthquakes indicate that liquid storage tanks are quite susceptible to earthquake related damages due to the sloshing motion of the contained liquid and that the failure of these structures can ...
