Abstract

To study the seismic failure mechanism of Plate-Shell Integrated Concrete Liquid Storage Structure (PSICLSS), the mechanical properties of each component under earthquake are studied. The influences of excitation frequency and amplitude on seismic responses of PSICLSS are analyzed. Based on the alternate load path method, the influences of partial component failure on the seismic responses of PSICLSS are studied, and the effects of free surface and structure size on seismic responses of PSICLSS are studied. Results show that the upper connection beams, upper plate and upper shell are easily tension failure. The effect of external liquid sloshing on the seismic response of the structure is more significant. The upper beams have a more significant influence on the structural seismic response. Considering the liquid free surface will cause structural stress increases. With the increase of the structural size, the structural stress, displacement and hydraulic pressure all increase, but the liquid sloshing height does not increase as the structural size increases.
