Increasing the Seismic Isolation of Gas Tanks Using Seismic Isolation Systems

Abstract

Some of the important issues of the modern world are associated with energy resources, namely, the search for new sources, energy conversion, use and storage of such resources. The consumption of fuel energy resources is not only the basis for the development of basic industries, but also an essential part of human life. Every year, the use of such fossil resources increases, so there is a need for long-term storage of fuel. Gasholders are used for storing gas fuel, which allow not only to store resources for a long time, but also to provide the consumer with the necessary amount of fuel. The construction of these structures can cover various areas, including areas with special construction conditions, in particular, those prone to seismic activity. Ensuring seismic protection of gasholders not only allows the safety of fuel, but also prevents environmental disasters associated with fuel spills.
