英文摘要 |
Steel tanks are widely employed in oil terminals, refineries, petrochemical installations, and many lifeline facilities. In areas of high seismicity, the safety of these tanks is crucial. In this study, a seismic assessment procedure for steel liquid storage tanks is presented. It is based upon “Appendix E: Seismic Design of Storage Tanks” in API 650 Welded Steel Tanks for Oil Storage(API, 2007). This study focuses on anchored, on-grade tanks, which are the most common type of tanks in Taiwan. |
