Floating Roof Influence on Seismic Response of Large Vertical Storage Tank

摘要

To study the impact of floating roof on seismic response of vertical storage tank structure system subjected to seismic excitation, select 150000m~3 storage tanks as research object, and the finite element analysis model of storage tanks with and without floating roof were established respectively. The seismic response of these two types of structure in different site conditions and seismic intensity were calculated and the numerical solutions were compared. The results show that floating roof has little impact on base shear and base moment in different site conditions and seismic intensity. Floating roof can effectively reduce the sloshing wave height. The influence of floating roof on dynamic fluid pressure decreases with the increase of seismic intensity, which is less affected by ground conditions.
