Seismic excited liquid filled tanks are subjected to extreme loading due to hydrodynamic pressures, which can lead to nonlinear stability failure of the thinwalled cylindrical tanks, as it is known from past earthquakes. 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
Seismic design of buried pipeline systems for energy and water supply is not only important for plant and operational safety but also for the maintenance of the supply infrastructure after an earthquake. The present paper shows special issues of the seismic wave impacts on buried pipelines, describes calculation methods, proposes approaches and gives calculation examples. This paper regards the effects of transient displacement differences and resulting tensions within the pipeline due to the wave propagation of the earthquake. However, the presented model can also be used to calculate fault rupture induced displacements. Based on a three-dimensional Finite Element Model parameter studies are performed to show the influence of several parameters such as incoming wave angle, wave velocity, backfill height and synthetic displacement time histories. The interaction between the pipeline and the surrounding soil is modeled with non-linear soil springs and the propagating wave is simulated affecting the pipeline punctually, independently in time and space. Special attention is given to long-distance heat pipeline systems. Here, in regular distances expansion bends are arranged to ensure movements of the pipeline due to high temperature. Such expansion bends are usually designed with small bending radii, which during the earthquake lead to high bending stresses in the cross-section of the pipeline. Finally, an interpretation of the results and recommendations are given for the most critical parameters.
Industrial facilities must be thoroughly designed to withstand seismic
actions as they exhibit an increased loss potential due to the possibly wideranging
damage consequences and the valuable process engineering equipment.
Past earthquakes showed the social and political consequences of seismic damage
to industrial facilities and sensitized the population and politicians worldwide
for the possible hazard emanating from industrial facilities. However, a holistic
approach for the seismic design of industrial facilities can presently neither be
found in national nor in international standards. The introduction of EN 1998-4
of the new generation of Eurocode 8 will improve the normative situation with
specific seismic design rules for silos, tanks and pipelines and secondary process
components. The article presents essential aspects of the seismic design of
industrial facilities based on the new generation of Eurocode 8 using the example
of tank structures and secondary process components. The interaction effects of
the process components with the primary structure are illustrated by means of
the experimental results of a shaking table test of a three story moment resisting
steel frame with different process components. Finally, an integrated approach of
digital plant models based on building information modelling (BIM) and structural
health monitoring (SHM) is presented, which provides not only a reliable
decision-making basis for operation, maintenance and repair but also an excellent
tool for rapid assessment of seismic damage.
