Seismic safety of liquid storage tanks is of considerable importance due to its application in different industries. In Iran, most of these storage tanks are designed based on API650 code provisions. Despite designing tanks according to API standard, the lesson learned from previous earthquakes, shows different kind of damage occurring on them. This study is an investigation on evaluating diffe...

The greater Wellington region, New Zealand, is highly vulnerable to large earthquakes because it is cut by active faults. Bulk water supply pipelines cross the Wellington Fault at several different locations, and there is considerable concern about severe disruption of the provision of reticulated water supplies to households and businesses in the aftermath of a large earthquake. A number of po...

Liquid hydrogen (LH2) takes up less storage volume than gas but requires cryogenic vessels. State-of-the-art applications for passenger vehicles consist of double-wall cylindrical tanks that hold a hydrogen storage mass of up to 10 kg. The preferred shell material of the tanks is stainless steel, since it is very resistant against hydrogen brittleness and shows negligible hydrogen permeation. T...
