Description

The Recommendation for the Seismic Design of Storage Tanks provides guidance on the particular dynamic load effects during an earthquake of liquids stored in various forms of containment systems, or tanks.

Structural analysis and design criteria for tanks constructed from steel, reinforced concrete and other materials are covered by the recommendations.

Tank foundation investigation, evaluation, analysis and details are considered.

A wide range of issues to do with the design detail are reviewed and covered by commentary, and the document contains design charts and design examples.
