Abstract:The seismic device effective for an existing stainless steel rectangular water tank was developed to prevent the damage of tank by earthquake, especially focusing on the short period earthquake where the impulsive pressure acts on the side wall of tank. The seismic device consisted of a thin high damping rubber plate, sandwiched with two metal plates, which were attached on both the surfaces of the rubber plate. These seismic devices were expected to be set between the base frame of tank and the anchor block. … Show more
