A significant reduction of the seismically induced loads can be obtained by the application of base isolation systems, which have to be designed carefully with respect to the modified hydrodynamic behaviour of the tank in interaction with the liquid. For this reason a highly sophisticated fluid-structure interaction model has to be applied for a realistic simulation of the overall dynamic system. In the following, such a model is presented and compared with the results of simplified mathematical models for rigidly supported tanks. Finally, it is examined to what extent a simple mechanical model can represent the behaviour of a base isolated tank in case of seismic excitation Y1 - 2013 UR - https://opus.bibliothek.fh-aachen.de/opus4/frontdoor/index/index/docId/10441 SN - 978-3-658-02810-7 SN - 978-3-658-02809-1 SN - 978-3-658-14037-3 N1 - International Conference on Seismic Design of Industrial Facilities, Aachen, Germany, 26.-27.09.2013. https://sedif-conference.jimdofree.com/ SP - 429 EP - 440 PB - Springer Vieweg CY - Wiesbaden ER -
