Evaluation of seismic resistance capacity on pipe braced supporting frame of spherical tank by shaking experiment

Evaluation of seismic resistance capacity on pipe braced supporting frame of spherical tank by shaking experiment

Significant fire and explosion accident on spherical tanks for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) storage was induced by the strong ground motion of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. Steel pipe braces were broken due to the strong seismic inertia force, and then buckling of support legs occurred. To...
