Description

Three-dimensional dynamic soil-structure interaction seismic analyses have become practical and accepted only since 1980. This new capability allows the study of interaction among closely spaced buried tanks during a seismic event. This paper presents the results of two studies of seismic tank-to-tank interaction at the US Department of Energy's Hanford Site. One study evaluates seismic tank-to-tank interaction for an existing reinforced concrete tank design used during construction of the Hanford Site in the 1940's. The other study evaluates seismic interaction and radius of separation for newly designed Hanford double-shelled buried waste tanks that are to be constructed
