Abstract

An updated state-of-the-art-review of the behaviour of the isolated fluid storage tanks to seismic excitation is presented. The main objective of review is to provide assistance to current research and engineering practice on base isolated fluid storage tanks. The review includes the literature on theoretical aspects of seismic isolation, parametric behaviour of isolated fluid storage tanks and experimental studies to verify some of the theoretical findings. Aspects for future research in the area of isolation of fluid storage tanks are also presented.

Keywords
