Seismic qualification of the large oil tanks requires consideration of a lot of specific failure modes. One of them is the failure induced by dynamic behaviour of the floating roofs or pontoons: a collision between floating steel roof and tank wall during an earthquake can lead to the post crash fire with severe system fault. Seismic behaviour of a 50000 m3 tank with floating pontoon has been investigated in a numeric study. Seismic safety limits of the considered tank including floating roof movement are presented. A validation study using numerical experiments of the tank with floating pontoon has been performed in order to verify the analytical approach. An influence of the tank anchorage on the tank seismic behaviour and specific failure modes connected with tank bottom uplift has been also investigated.

Taking a 10kV test transformer as the research object, based on the analysis of transformer vibration and noise vibration sources, the oil tank model of the test transformer is established firstly, and the vibration mode analysis of the oil tank is carried out, and the typical vibration modes of transformer oil tanks with different thicknesses are obtained Then, according to the characteristics of vibration and vibration source of distribution transformer tank wall, the design method and parameter optimization analysis of transformer tank wall vibration absorption are carried out. The analysis shows that the principle of dynamic vibration absorption is clear, and the vibration of the box wall can be effectively controlled with 76% vibration reduction efficiency under the condition of reasonable arrangement of vibration absorption devices and parameter selection. The vibration control effect of vibration absorber increases with the increase of mass ratio between vibration absorber and transformer tank wall. When the mass ratio is determined, the closer the stiffness of vibration absorber is to the optimal stiffness, the better the vibration reduction effect will be.

Considering the disastrous consequences of the oil tank failure, it is of great importance to ensure the safety of the large-scale oil tank under earthquakes. This study sheds light on investigating the dynamic response of a prototype 100,000 m3 cylindrical oil-storage tank under various seismic excitations. The foundation of the tank is also considered in this study so that the obtained results are closer to the reality. Shaking table tests are conducted using a 1/20 scale liquid-tank-foundation system under various seismic excitations. The test results reveal that the dynamic responses such as accelerations and the deformation of the test specimen in the major and minor vibration directions do not differ significantly. Finite element models are constructed for the test specimen and the prototype tank and are validated through comparing the simulation results with the test data. The simulation results suggest that it might be necessary to stiffen the locations on the tank wall where the thickness of the tank wall changes because the stresses at such locations may be close or even exceed the yield strength of the structural steel under severe earthquakes.
