Course Outline + Model oftanksiquid system ~ Ground-supported and elevated tanks + Horizontal and vertical ground motions ~ Design response spectra + Seismicresponse of tanks using rational (code-based) ‘approach — Moments, shears, sloshing wave-height + Selsmicresponse of tanks using a refined approach ~ Soilstructue interaction, nonlinear response analysis 14 Gu This course is divided into four parts: 1 First, we discuss simple mechanical models for ground-supported and elevated tanks. Next, we characterize ground motions in horizontal and vertical dire by their seismic response spectra. ‘Then, we calculate the response of a tank using the traditional (code-based) approach. Finally, we calculate the response of a tank using a refined approach including nonlinear analysis and soil-structure interaction. Types of Tanks + Contents ~ Crude oll, LNG, wines and juices, chemicals, crinking water, industrial water, sprinkler water + Shape (cross-section) ~ Cirouar, rectangular + Distanoe from ground ~ Buried, ground-supported, elevated + Material ~ Steel concrete, fiberglass, aluminum, wood, rubber liner 12 S ‘Tanks can be classified on the basis of their contents, shape, distance from the round or material, Tanks ate used for storing crude oil, liquefied natural gas (LNG), wines & juices, chemicals, waste, drinking, industrial and sprinkler (fire-fighting) water. Most tanks have circular cross section, but there are many tanks with rectangular cross section, Tanks can also be spherical. Circular tanks are further classified into upright or side-supported tanks, Most lange tanks are upright (vertical). Tanks can be buried, ground-supported or elevated. Ground-supported tanks are on ring, mat, pedestal or pile foundations. Tanks are sometimes supported directly on the soil, Elevated tanks are supported by towers or other structures. Large tanks are usually made of steel or concrete. Some tanks are made of wood, fiberglass or polyethylene. Tanks may sometimes have a rubber liner inside a steel shell 12 Upright Cylindrical Tank: Highly Efficient Structural System for Storing Liquids a xt dex2= pedsx2R o, <2 ‘The maximum hoop stress in a 40 ft diameter, 25 thigh tank of fia” thickness is only 10 ksi (70 MPa) 19 e~ Upright cylindrical tanks are used for storing lange quantities of liquid. ‘Axisymmettic hydrostatic pressures generate hoop stresses in the tank wall which are uniform throughout the thickness of the wall. The wall thickness (reinforcement for concrete tanks) can be gradually reduced from the bottom of the tank to its top to achieve an optimum design. The weight of the tank is usually less than 5% of the weight of the liquid in the tank, Therefore, tanks are highly efficient structural systems. Hydrodynamic Pressures Due to Horizontal Earthquake Motion + 2 4 ‘Acomplicated pattern of stresses in generated by horizontal ground washing © ‘The horizontal shaking of the ground produces two effects in a tank, 1, The interaction between the wall and the liquid induces hydrodynamic wall pressures, which are not axisymmetric. The net effect of these pressures is fo generate overtuming moment and shear in the tank. The overturning moment and shear reduce with increase in distance from the base. The overturning moment just below the base is higher than the moment above the base due to the effect of hydrodynamic base pressures. The overturning moment generates compressive stresses on one side of the tank shell and tensile stresses on the other side, The foundation is subjected to the base shear and overturning moment, A flexible foundation may “rock” under the influence of the overturning moment, 2. ‘The liquid near the top of the tank undergoes free-surface sloshing. Some empty space (freeboard) is needed to accommodate the sloshing action. A roofless tank without sufficient freeboard could lose its contents through spillage. A roofed tank without sufficient freeboard could suffer damage to the roof and upper tank shell. Floating roof could suffer damage due to interaction with sloshing liquid. Hydrodynamic Pressures Induced by Vertical Ground Shaking ‘Additional hoc stresses are generated by vertical ground shaking 15 Earthquakes also procuce vertical ground shaking. Vertical shaking generates axisymmetric hydrodynamic wall pressures, which can be positive (outward) or negative (inward). These pressures generate additional hoop stresses in the tank wall. Vertical motion excites “breathing” mode of vibration in the tank. Earthquake Damage to Tanks ‘ark farm damaged by the 1995 Kobe Earthquake 16 Tanks have suffered extensive damage during earthquakes.

The dynamic response of a floating roof is quite complex. Seismic design standards do not address the analysis and design of Hoating roots. Ihe deck of a pontoon floating roof can be torn by radial shortening caused by large vertical displacements. The 1), more liquid is impulsive than convective, Intuitively, this makes sense, because in slender tanks liquid is more censtrained to move with the tank wall Natural Period (Animation) 124 © ‘The impulsive and convective modes of vibration have their own natural period. The natural period is the time taken to complete one cycle under free- vibration (following an initial disturbance). The impulsive natural period ranges from 0.1 to 0.6. The convective natural period ranges from 1 to 12s.

For most steel tanks, the wall thickness reduces from bottom to the top. The impulsive period formula can be extended to tanks with nonuniform wall thickness by first calculating the equivalent uniform thickness of the wall. The equivalent Uniform thickness t,, is the weighted-average of the wetted wall thickness, ssiving highest weight to the thickness near the base of the tank where the stress is maximum, The weights are proportional to the distance from the liquid surface and the height of the shell course with that thickness. Coefficients C; and C, 1-24 = The coefficients C,and C, are functions of height-to-radius ratio (H/R) of the tank. C,is dimensionless and C, is in s/ft!2, By substituting the radius R in fin the convective period formula (Slide 1-22), we obtain the correct value of the period in seconds. 124 Free Vibration Response of Damped System (Animation) 128, © A damped system loses some energy during each vibration cycle. Higher the damping, faster the rate of decay of vibration amplitude. The energy dissipation mechanism in a system is usually very complex. However, it is customary to assume that the system is viscously damped. With increase in damping, the amplitude decays at a faster rate. At a certain high value of damping the system does not oscillate when released from an initial displaced position; it simply approaches the mean position without crossing over to the other side, Such a system is considered to be critically damped. Damping in systems is expressed as a fraction of the critical damping, ie. damping required to critically damp the system. A 5%-damped system possesses 5% of the damping required to “critically” damp that system. Damping + Impulsive damping: 5% of critical + Convective damping: 0.5% of critical Since the impulsive liquid moves with the tank wall, the impulsive damping is assumed to be same as structural damping; itis determined by the material of the tank wall and the level of strain induced in the wall. For steel and pre- stressed concrete tanks, the impulsive damping may be around 2% of critical For reinforced conerete tanks, the impulsive damping may be around 5% of critical. For wood tanks, the impulsive damping may be around 10% of ritical. ‘The default value of impulsive damping (for all systems under seismic loading) is 5% of critical, In Chapter 4, we will see that a significant portion of damping for flexibly-supported tanks comes from the soil. ‘The convective (sloshing) motion is independent of the tank wall, therefore, ‘the convective damping is determined by the viscosity of the liquid in the tank. For water and similar liquids, convective damping is assumed to be 0.5% of critical, The plot on this slide shows that the convective (sloshing) response decays at a ‘much slower rate than the impulsive response, because: (1) the convective period is much longer than the impulsive period; and (2) the convective damping is much smaller than the impulsive damping. 1.26 Impulsive and Convective Heights (for Ringwall Moment) sar ‘The hydrodynamic wall pressures produced by impulsive and convective actions give rise to overturning base moments. In the mechanical model of the tank, shown on Slide I-19, the impulsive and convective masses mand m, are placed at the centroids of the hydrodynamic wall pressures generated by impulsive and convective actions. These heights are presented on this slide as fractions of the total liquid height in the tank. Since the impulsive action is dominant near the base of the tank and the convective action is dominant near the top of the tank, the impulsive height is smaller than the convective height. 127 Impulsive and Convective Heights (for Base Slab Moment) The overtuming moment below the base of the tank is caused by the hydrodynamic wall pressures as well as the hydrodynamic base pressures. The overtuming moment above the base of the tank is caused only by the hydrodynamic wall pressures. For this reason, the overtuming moment below the base of the tank is higher than the overturning moment above the base of the tank. Therefore, there are two sets of impulsive and convective heights: (1) those for calculating moment above the base of the tank, and (2) those for calculating the moment below the base of the tank, The difference between these two sets of height is larger for broad tanks than for slender tanks. The convective heights for moment above and below the base are nearly the same except for very broad tanks, because convective action does not produce significant base pressures. ‘The moments above the base ate used to design the tank shell, base anchors and ring foundations. The moments below the base are used to design the mat and pile foundations. When there is a slab at the bottom of a ring foundation, the overturning moment below the base should be used to design the foundation, 128 Natural Period of Vertical Mode of Vibration aC x VOX. oe 120 @- ‘The vertical motion of the tank base excites the vertical (breathing) mode of vibration. Under this mode, the shell of the tank moves radially in and out in a “breathing” fashion. This mode of vibration induces hoop stresses in the tank wall. The vertical stiffiess depends primarily on the thickness and radius of the tank wall and the Young's modulus of elasticity of the tank material. Therefore, the vertical natural period depends on the wall thickness, radius, Young's modulus of elasticity, and liquid mass density. References Kumar, A.

This slide shows a record of ground motion at a station (site) in one of the horizontal directions during the 1994 Northridge Earthquake in southem California. The station is maintained by the California Strong Motion Instrumentation Program (CSMIP) under the name “Castaic ~ Old Ridge Route (CSMIP No, 24278)”. We will refer to this record as simply “Castaic HI” record. Although, it acceleration history (top trace), the velocity and displacement histories is customary to express the ground motion record by its provide additional valuable insight into the ground motion. The velocity history (middle trace) is obtained by simple integration of the acceleration history and the displacement history (bottom trace) is obtained by integration of the velocity history. The peak values of ‘ground acceleratioa, velocity and displacement (PGA, PGV and PGD) are indicated on the traces. 22 Response of SDF System (T= 1 s, 2 = 0.05) ‘Subjected to Castaic 90° Motion (Animation) 20em-19em 9 10cm 20cm os : 23 ©: ‘We will now study the response of a single degree freedom (SDF) system to the Castaic HI ground motion shown on the previous slide.

The response was computed from the numerical solution of the equation of motion. At any given time, the displacement of the mass relative to the base (ground) is the deformation of the system. For engineering applicaticns, the deformation is much more meaningful than the displacement, because deformation (not displacement) is the cause of stresses in the structure. ‘The Castaic Hi greund motion history is used for illustration purpose throughout this session; any other ground motion history could have served the same purpose, 23 Construction of 5% Damping Deformation Response ‘Spectrum of Castaic H1 Ground Motion | —lftiernanen 24 On the left side on this slide are the deformation histories of three 5% damped SDF systems of periods 0.5 s, 1 s and 2 s. The peak deformations experienced by these systems are 6 em, 13.2 em, and 23.1 ‘em, respectively. (The sign of the deformation is not important.) The plot of peak deformation versus natural period is the deformation response spectrum of the ground motion component. The right plot on this slide shows the 5% damping deformation response spectrum of the Castai¢ HI ground motion shown on Slide 2-2. Note that the spectral deformation SD approaches zero at zero natural period. This is because a zero-period system is infinitely stiff (rigid), hence it does not deform atall. The spectral deformation approached PGD for very long period systems. Very long-period systems are so flexible that their mass practically remains still while the ground shakes underneath, The ‘maximum deformation of such systems is equal to the peak ground displacement PGD.

Similarly, there is a ground motion in the other horizontal direction. We will call this Castaic H2, Naturally, Castaic HI and Castaic H2 ground motions ate not identical. Therefore, the response spectra of Castaic Hil and Castaic H2 ‘ground motions are also not the same, This slide shows the acceleration and deformation response spectra of Castaic H2 ground motion. Geometrio-Mean Horizontal Acceleration and Deformation Response Spectra of Castaic Ground Motion ao : 7 7 Ee In previous two slides we have seen that the response spectra of two horizontal components of a ground motion are not the same. It is common practice among earth scientists to take the geometric-mean of the two horizontal component response spectra and call it the response spectrum of horizontal ground motion. This slide shows the geometric-mean of Castaic HI and Castaic H2 response spectra shown on previous 2 slides. ‘The geometric-mean response spectta are smoother than the component response spectra because they are logarithmic average of the 2 component response spectra.

This slide shows the resultant horizontal response spectra of Castaic ground motion. On average, the resultant horizontal spectra are 25% higher than the geometrie-mean horizontal spectra, Although, it makes much more sense to use the resultant horizontal spectrum in seismic design, it is usually the geometric-mean response spectrum which gets used in seismic design. In the future versions of the US codes, there is a proposal to consider the lager-component response spectrum, but there is no current plan to consider the resultant response spectrum. 29 Smooth Acceleration and Deformation Response Spectra nt Pores. 20 Geen ‘The response spectrum of a ground motion history (component, geometric~ ‘mean or resultant) is usually very rough (jagged).

The elastic loads are reduced by a load reduction (R) factor. There are three reasons for the load reduction facter: (1) ductility, (2) increase in damping, and (3) overstrength, This slide shows the 5% damping response spectrum of horizontal ground motion previously shown on Slide 3-4 (left plot). The dashed line represents the impulsive period cf the tank T,, For a tank responding elastically the period remains unaffected by the response acceleration; hence the dashed line remains vertical. The impulsive response acceleration for a tank responding elastically is SA, 3.22 Ductility Reduction Factor R,, ‘Spectral Acceleration, SA 7 Patiod, T 323 ©: For a tank responding inelastically, the period T, elongates with increase in response acceleration (or the intensity of shaking). The impulsive response acceleration for a tank responding inelastically is less than SA,; it is SA/R,, where R, is known as the ductility reduction factor. An inelastically responding tank will experience smaller force, but the force reduction comes at the cost of base uplifting (usually accompanied by plastic yielding as shown on Slide 1- 11). Note that plastic yielding causes damage — visible or invisible. 323 Damping Reduction Factor R; Spectral Acceleration, SA 324 © Tanks responding inelastically may dissipate more energy than those responding elastically, As a result, the damping in tanks may be higher than the default 5% of critical. We learned in Session 2 than inereased damping reduces response acceleration. ‘The reduction in force coefficient (response acceleration) due to increased damping is known as the damping reduction factor Ry. Overstrength Reduction Factor Ro ‘Spectral Acceleration, SA fi Pariod, T 325 © The actual strength of tanks may be higher than the calculated strength due to various safety factors used in design calculations. Therefore, the actual load is reduced by the overstrength factor Rg to obtain the design load. The overall force reduction factor s: R=R,xRjxRq Strictly speaking, the force reduetion factor R should depend on the specific tank being designed and on the shape of the response spectrum used for design. However, these dependencies are ignored in a code-based design and the same R factor (based on judgment) is applied to all tanks of the same type. More importantly, the inelastic responses arising from the application of R factor are not explicitly computed, It is simply assumed that the inelastic responses will be “sat factory”, Impulsive and Convective Load Reduction Factors Values shown are from API 650. = | Tank type RR Mechanically anchored (welded or bolted) 4} 2 Self anchored (welded or bolted) 35] 2 ‘Nate These eduction factor ar for we inllowable srenath uae desian (ASD) e. The convective period of the tank is usually quite long. Due to inelastic deformation in the tank, the convective period is not expected to elongate any further. Therefore, the ductility and damping reductions are not significant for convective loads, but the overstrength reduction can be significant, It is therefore assumed that the comvective load reduction factor is about half the impulsive load reduction factor, ie, R.=R/2. The above table provides suggested values of impulsive and convective load reduction factors for steel tanks in API 650. The factors in AWWA D100 are less by a factor of 1.4 because AWWA D100 applies a 1.4 factor separately. Therefore, effectively, the reduction factors are the same in API 650 and AWWA D100. The load reduction factor does not apply to the sloshing wave height.

A small amount of overturning resistarce is provided by the weight of the tank wall and roof. It is obtained by multiplying the weight of the tank wall and roof by the radius of the tank. A more significant amount of overturning resistance is provided by uplifting of the tank base plate. As a portion of the base plate uplifts, the liquid on the uplifted portion provides resistance to overturning. In calculating the ‘overtuming resistance due to base uplifting, the thickness of the base plate is assumed to be t, = 0.25 in; the yield stress of base plate material is assumed to be F, = 36,000 psi; pg= 62.4 Ib/ft; and H = 40.33 The total overtuming resistance from self weight and base uplifting is checked against the design overtuming moment. In this case the design overturning ‘moment is greater than the overturning resistance hence anchors are needed to provide stability against overturning, This raises several questions: (1) Since anchors are provided to resist the reduced overturning moment, wouldn’t the tank uplift during the design earthquake motion? (2) How much will the tank uplift? (3) Will the anchors be able to accommodate the uplift?

In other words, there is no separation between the tank base and the foundation. Then, we assume that the convective response is not affected by soil Structure interaction. This is a reasonable assumption because the convective period is usually very long. Foundation flexibility is not likely to elongate the convective period or change convective damping in a significant way. Therefore, we exclud: the convective mode from the tank-liquid-foundation model and compute te convective response independently — assuming that the tank is fixed-base, Next, we compute the stiffhesses of the translational and rotational springs. ‘These are based on the studies by Veletsos, Meek and Nair.

Impulsive Period of Tank-Foundation System a © ‘The effective impulsive period of the tank-foundation system is given by the above formula, Its proof is presented on the next slide. 47 Proof of Period Formula ‘This slide presents a proof of the effective impulsive period formula for the fank-foundation system. First, the stiffness of the tank-foundation system is calculated as follows, Horizontal force F is applied on the impulsive mass, The overall deformatioa A is calculated by adding the deformations of the superstructure and foundation. The effective stiffness of the foundation is obtained by divding the force F by the overall deformation A.

The effective impulsive damping is obtained by dividing the fixed-base structural damping with the eabe of period elongation. This can cause a significant reduction in the structural damping. This is because, in a soil-structure system not all the deformation occurs in the structure — a part of the deformation occurs in the foundation. In the limiting case when all the deformation occurs in the foundation, the structural damping becomes completely ineffe ‘The soil damping is partly viscous and partly radiation. The viscous component of soil damping depends on the shaking intensity, That is the reason for two curves — dashed and continuous in the plot above. The radiation damping depends on the height/radius ratio of the structure. For tall structures, the rocking action is more pronounced. The radiation damping associated with rocking motion is much less than that associated with trarslational motion. 49 Impulsive Response Acceleration for Flexibly Supported Tank * Mody the response spectrum for estimated damping of soil structure system * Read the spectral acceleration for effective impulsive period of soilstructre system + The impulsive spectral acceleration ofthe soil-structure systern can be significantly smaller than the impulsive spectral aoceleraton ofthe fixed-base system + In design standards such as ASCE 7, there isa limit onthe maximum allowable reduction du to oi-structure interaction e- ‘The response spectrum is adjusted for the damping of the tank-foundation system.

Since the weight of the empty tank is only a small fraction (1 to 3%) of the weight ofthe full tank, it does not provide sufficient toppling resistance. Additional toppling resistance is mobilized by allowing a portion of the base plate to uplift so that the liquid on the uplifted portion of the base plate provides toppling resistance. Base uplifting needs to be controlled because it is accompanied by: (a) plastic yielding at the plate-shell junction which can rupture the joint; (b) reduced contact between the wall and the base can increase axial compressive stress which can buckle the wall; and (c) vertical ‘movement of the shell can rupture brittle piping connections. 416 Overturning Resistance of Base Plate ‘veri Bat Home 0 ear © The overtuming resistance is calculated by taking into account the nonlinearities associated with plastic yielding, membrane forces and varying contact of the base with the foundation.
