“…In the crude oil commercial depot, the storage tanks are used for peak tuning and storage. The storage medium is purified oil with low water content, and the corrosion risk is relatively small, the failure modes are lightning strike [ 6 ], settlement [ 7 ], mis-operation [ 8 ], accessories failure [ 9 ], seismic induced buckling failure [ 10 , 11 ], etc.…”

“…They found that the large majority of cylindrical water tanks were severely damaged. Colombo and Almazan (2015) [17] utilized the seismic capability method to evaluate the performance of a specific energy dissipation method in two narrow and wide cylindrical water tanks. Jin et al [18] applied a numerical model to investigate the sloshing hydrodynamic properties and the pressure response in a two-dimensional rectangular water tank.…”

This study investigates the blast effect on hoop stresses and displacements created on the wall of over-ground cylindrical reinforced concrete water tanks and the effect of blast waves, fluid surface motion, and the surface tension of water due to water-structure interaction using ABAQUS software. Three water tanks with heights of 4, 6, and 8 m and a fixed radius of 3 m were used for simulation, each of which was filled with 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% water from the depth of the tank. The results revealed that the above parameters affect the water tank structure's dynamic response so that the surface tension of water is higher in water tanks with 50% water filling. Also, increasing the water filling percentage, the hardness of the water tank increased and decreased the tank wall displacement by 31.25% for a filled water tank compared to an empty water tank. The results illustratd that the water tank wall's hoop stresses were affected by blast waves from the outside and water tension from the inside, so that the water tension in the water tank caused an approximate 20 MPa increase in the hoop stresses on the wall.

“…Since lessons from past earthquake events confirmed the devastating impact on industrial facilities, in order to improve the seismic resilience and prevent consequent accidents, some researchers applied seismic mitigation strategies to the industrial buildings. For example, Colombo and Almazán assessed the influence of energy dissipation systems on the seismic damage of cylindrical steel tanks. Kanyilmaz and Castiglioni performed incremental dynamic analyses to assess the merits of base isolations in industrial steel silos.…”

Summary Electric power system is one of essential lifeline systems for an urban community. An actual power plant building with typical coal‐fired power generation process is selected to be studied in this paper. The detrimental impacts on the seismic performance of the structural system induced by heavy coal bunkers and irregular bracing configurations are expected to be mitigated by using retrofit strategies. A total of three retrofit design schemes that employ the isolation and supplemental damping techniques are developed. The original design scheme of the actual thermal power plant building that adopts steel special concentrically braced frame as lateral‐force resisting system is used as benchmark for comparison purposes. Nonlinear response‐history analyses are performed, and the obtained seismic responses are compared. To better quantify the benefit of the considered retrofit strategies, seismic risk in terms of probabilities of exceeding designated damage states as well as the downtime are analyzed. For the studied thermal power plant building, the results show that the added damping system is more effective in seismic risk reduction than the isolation for heavy coal bunkers. Compared to the original structural system design, the use of supplemental damping system cut the downtime of the thermal power plant building at most 42%.
