Investigating Effect Of Fluid Density On Seismic Response Of Steel Storage Tank

Abstract

The Shaking Response In Fluid-filled Metal Container Stores Is Very Important In Areas That Are Prone To Earthquakes Since There Is A Possibility That Liquid May Flow Out When The Structure Is Being Affected. Sloshing Displacement Is Only Marginally Impacted By Tank Flexibility; Nevertheless, Impulsive Pressures And Base Shear Are Both Increased Because Of Greater Tank Flexibility. Traditional Modeling Tools Such As Staad Pro And ETABS Have Difficulty Accurately Representing Complicated Fluid-structure Interactions (FSI). On The Other Hand, More Modern Modeling Tools Such As ANSYS Make It Possible To Accurately Describe Nonlinear Behaviors And Seismic Dynamics. The Purpose Of This Research Is To Investigate The Impact Of Fluid Density On Seismic Reactions Such As Displacement, Shear, Moment, Sloshing Height, And Hydrodynamic Pressure. The Investigation Is Carried Out By Using Time History Analysis (THA) In ANSYS To Investigate Cylindrical Tanks That Contain Fuel Oil, Kerosene, And Motor Oil. The Study Is Being Conducted With The Intention Of Enhancing The Safety And Ergonomics Of Storage Containers That Are Exposed To Seismic Stresses.
