dc.description.abstract | Unanchored steel tanks, subjected to strong seismic loading, may exhibit base plate uplifting. Under repeated uplifting, the welded connection of the tank base plate with the tank shell (a fillet-welded connection) is subjected to strong cyclic deformation, involving reverse plastic loading, and this could lead to failure of the welded connection in the form of low-cycle fatigue cracking. In the present paper, an experimental program is described, supported by numerical finite-element simulations. The tests are aimed at investigating the mechanical response of small-scale welded specimens, representing the connection of the base plate with the tank shell, subjected to uplifting loading conditions. The research has been partially supported by European research project INDUSE-2-SAFETY, on the seismic safety and resilience of critical components in industrial plants. Copyright © 2019 ASME. | en |
