Selected Publications:
Juan C. Virella Crespo, Luis A. Godoy, and Luis E. Suarez, “Buckling and Retrofit of Steel Tanks Subject to Wind and Earthquake Loadings”, talk given in 2002. Some nice photographs of buckled tanks. This citation consists of vufoils (like a PowerPoint presentation). No abstract nor references are given.
