Multi-Objective Optimization of Base-Isolated Tanks with Supplemental Linear Viscous Dampers

Base isolation of liquid storage tanks has proven to be an efficient seismic protection measure, leading to a drastic reduction of a superstructure’s distress. However, many such tanks are located near seismic tectonic faults, which generate strong pulse-like ground motions that can impose excessive...
