Description
Summary:Current methods for seismic design of liquid storage tanks and steam suppression pools are reviewed to establish requirements for future research. The use of a transfer function and response spectrum method is emphasized for prediction of slosh response and impulsive loading. The method is also applicable to operating transient loads that occur in nuclear power plants. Direct applicability is noted for much of the available design data that had previously been developed for aerospace launch vehicles.
