Ground Excitation and Resonance in Liquid-Filled Tanks
Keyword(s):
Recent research has demonstrated that natural frequencies associated with some circumferential modes inn fluid filled tanks may be close to the frequency of earthquake excitation. This can lead to a resonance phenomenon, and consequently failure of the tanks. In this paper, we perform natural frequency analysis of fluid-filled tanks, using finite element analysis. The problem is solved for different geometries and water levels of tanks. Results are provided for circular, cylindrical tanks and cylindrical tanks with coaxial walls and a fluid annulus. Combinations of parameters most likely to cause resonance are presented.
