Abstract:Near-field earthquakes have been shown to have different effects on structures than far-field events. This study examines the dynamic response of a rectangular concrete liquid storage tank with tapered walls to near-field ground motions, with particular emphasis on the effect of higher sloshing modes. The tank’s numerical modeling, calibrated using experimental results, was performed considering the tank’s wall flexibility. Seven selected near-field records were applied in each case, and the effects of the fir… Show more
