RE: seismic effect in tanks
In particular, AWWA D100 gives seismic design requirements for tanks subject to that standard.
Addressed to some extent in ASCE 7 as well.
If those are not applicable, perhaps some other code or standard is?
RE: seismic effect in tanks
the tank should comply with ACSE 7 ,I will check AWWA D100
it's the first time for me to deal with water storage tanks,
and I will be pleased if there is any special requirements should I take into account during my design or applying load cases
again thanks a lot for your quick response
