von Mises stress distribution in the tallest tank shown 2 slides ago in response to the 1986 El Salvador earthquake spectrum with PGA = 0 |
|
Buckling near the top of the tank shown in the previous slide. This buckling mode is caused by local dynamic circumferential compression from liquid sloshing during the earthquake. |
