Analysis of axially restrained water storage tank under blast loading

The water storage tank was proposed as a multi-functional facade system characterizing energy saving and blast resisting. The energy saving performance, not presented in this paper, has been evaluated by experimental and numerical methods. The aim of this study is to propose simplified methods to reasonably predict the response of water storage tank under blast loading. Based on the equivalent single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) method, the shock...
