elevated tanks are important structures in storing vital products, such as petroleum products for cities and industrial facilities, as well as water storage. these structures have various types and are constructed in a way that a greater portion of their weight is concentrated at an elevation much about the base. damage to these structures during strong ground motions may lead to fire or other ...

large capacity cylindrical tanks are used to store a variety of liquids. their satisfactoryperformance during earthquake is crucial for modern facilities. in present paper, the behavior of cylindricalconcrete tanks under harmonic excitation is studied using the finite element method. liquid sloshing, liquidviscosity and wall flexibility are considered and additionally excitation frequency, liqu...

Elevated tanks are very important structures and consist of various types. Water supply is vital to control fires during earthquakes. Also they are utilized to store different products, like petroleum supplies in cities and industrial zones. Damage to these structures during strong ground motions may lead to fire or other hazardous events. Elevated tanks should stay functional after and before ...

A 60-day trial with six diets (three different protein levels × two different lipid levels) containing 30, 35 and 40% protein with 10 and 15% lipid levels was conducted to determine the optimum dietary protein to lipid ratio and effects on growth performance and hematological indices of Aspikutum, Leuciscus aspius female×Rutilus frisii male. Two hundred and fifty two fish (31.2±0.4 g; mean±SEM)...

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) was used to simulate the mixing characteristics of four different circular anaerobic digester tanks (diameters of 13.7, 21.3, 30.5, and 33.5m) equipped with single and multiple draft impeller tube mixers. Rates of mixing of step and slug injection of tracers were calculated from which digester volume turnover time (DVTT), mixture diffusion time (MDT), and hydr...

this paper presents a new model for predicting the compressive strength of steel-confined concrete on circular concrete filled steel tube (ccfst) stub columns under axial loading condition based on artificial neural networks (anns) by using a large wide of experimental investigations. the input parameters were selected based on past studies such as outer diameter of column, compressive strength...
