Abstract
Unanchored steel storage tanks, commonly used in industrial facilities, can suffer damage during major earthquakes due to various failures. To better understand the seismic behaviour of such structures, a pushover-based seismic performance assessment of four tanks with varying slenderness ratios was performed. The emphasis was placed on understanding the relationship between engineering demand parameters, tank slenderness ratio, and wall geometrical imperfections, which were, however, imposed only to the lower course around the tank circumference to assess the upper limit of the effect of geometrical imperfections on the elephant-foot buckling (EFB). The findings reveal that axial compressive stress in the tank wall correlates with increased slenderness and geometrical imperfections. This implies that the axial compressive stress in the wall of broader tanks is relatively low, and the bulging at the bottom of the wall is mainly due to high hydrodynamic pressure and the resulting hoop stress. In contrast, the wall of slender tanks buckles primarily due to high axial stresses, leading to EFB. Through dynamic analysis, the study showed that the pushover analysis can underestimate the axial stress if the tank’s base plate is uplifted significantly before EFB occurs. The effect of the impact should thus be considered, especially in the case of slender tanks, because the base plate uplift mechanism is more pronounced than in broader tanks. Further research is needed for a more accurate prediction of the axial compressive stress in slender tanks. However, the safety margin in the post-yielding range is low because the yielding area of the tank wall rapidly increases after the occurrence of steel yielding. In the absence of a detailed 3D model of tanks, simplified formulas for estimating stresses in the tank wall may be used for the broader tanks but not for more slender tanks because of their inability to simulate the highly non-linear relationship between the ground motion intensity and the stresses observed in the plastic region of the tank wall.
