1 Introduction

In lifeline engineering liquid-storage structures play irre-placeable roles in the development of a national economy butmany earthquakes have caused different degrees of damageto the liquid-storage structures Because of the uniqueness ofthis type of structure failure causes some types of disastersuch as a fluid leakage fire or environment pollution Aneffective means to improve the seismic capacity for thisstructure is a special base isolation structure that has beenused widely One of the main shock absorption measures isrubber isolation which can reduce dynamic responses suchas base shear overturningmoment andwall internal force ofthe liquid-storage structure but its effect on liquid sloshingis very limited and may even produce the opposite effect

[1ndash4] However some new types of sliding isolation methodscan achieve independence of the isolation period and liquidsloshing period [5] and avoid the resonance phenomenonwhich can reduce both the structural dynamic responsesand liquid sloshing simultaneously [6 7] Therefore if thisdesign is reasonable the effect of this sliding base-isolatedtechnology will be better than rubber base isolation [8 9]

Although the sliding isolation measure can effectivelyreduce the structure dynamic responses one characteristicof a sliding isolation structure is that it will suffer a largehorizontal displacement during an earthquake For normaluse and structural safety it is very necessary to use acorresponding limiting displacement method At present acommon method the moat wall is widely used in varioustypes of base-isolated structures Although the moat wall

can control the base-isolated structure displacement [10]the pounding between the isolation structure and moat wallgreatly affects the system dynamic responses In recent yearssome scholars have paid attention to the pounding problemofthe base-isolated structure caused by an earthquake and haveachieved certain results Nagarajaiah and Sun [11] assessedthe dynamic responses of a base-isolated structure used for afire control command which was destroyed because of struc-ture and moat wall pounding during the 1994 Northridgeearthquake The results showed that the pounding increasedthe base-isolated structure dynamic responses Matsagar andJangid [12] assumed that pounding occurred only betweenthe bottom of the structure and the moat wall and studiedthe pounding dynamic responses of a building with variousisolation systems Komodromos [13] concluded that thedynamic responses caused by pounding increased as theimpact stiffness and isolation system stiffness increased basedon numerical simulations Fu et al [14] determined thatthe dynamic responses caused by pounding could changethe basic mode of the base-isolated structure and excite ahigher mode of the structure Masroor and Mosqueda [15]considered themoatwall flexibility in a poundingmodel of anisolated structure and found that themoatwall characteristicsgreatly influenced the amplification of the dynamic responseand degree of damage Pant and Wijeyewickrema [16] con-sidered different earthquake excitations and found that thepounding effect had a significant effect on the performance ofan isolated structure Fan et al [17] studied the vulnerabilityof an isolation structure with a moat wall and determinedthat the structure mass and mechanical parameters of anisolation bearing had a greater effect on the maximum basedisplacement Khatiwada and Chouw [18] noted that theimpact stiffness and coefficient of restitution were the mainfactors influencing the pounding responses

The foundation effect is not considered in the abovestudies when the base-isolated structure collides with themoat wall but the SSI has a significant effect on the vibra-tional frequency [19] the systemdamping ratio and rotationaldisplacement of the foundation [20] the structural dynamicresponses [21] and the reasonable choice of the isolationbearing [22] of an isolation structure Currently studies ofthe SSI on the pounding dynamic responses of a structure arevery limited [23] Chau et al [24] noted that the vibrationalresponse of the structure could be amplified but that the SSIcould suppress the vibrational response caused by poundingMahmoud and Gutub [25] found that the SSI effect had amore significant effect on isolated buildings located on a softsoil and the SSI effect could increase the number of collisionsbetween the structure and surrounding moat wall Shakyaand Wijeyewickrema [26] used the gap element and Kelvin-Voigt model to simulate the pounding problem and foundthat the dynamic responses of the structure will be reducedwhen the foundation is considered

In summary the effect of the SSI on the structuraldynamic responses is obvious Although the probability ofpounding of the sliding base-isolated structure with themoat wall is larger than the rubber isolation studies onthe dynamic responses of a sliding isolation structure thatconsider the SSI have not been performed The spring-mass

model is used to simulate the coupling problem of the slidingbase-isolated liquid-storage structure and the 2D viscoelasticartificial boundary is used to simulate the foundation effect Asimplifiedmechanicalmodel and the corresponding dynamicequations of the sliding isolation rectangular liquid-storagestructure that consider the SSI and pounding are estab-lished and the dynamic responses of the rectangular liquid-storage structure experiencing near-field pulse-like Chi-Chiearthquake and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake arestudied Sliding isolation has a certain advantage in theshock absorption of a liquid-storage structure and theoreticalresearch on this type of damping method is helpful to itsfuture application

21 Foundation Model To consider the foundation effectthe lumped parameter model is used to simulate the elasticfoundation and the discrete model which is based on thetheory of a homogeneous isotropic and elastic half spaceTranslation and rotation of the foundation are simulatedusing the spring element and damping element respectivelyand the corresponding parameters can be calculated by usingthe following equations [27]

where ] is Poissonrsquos ratio 119866 is the shear modulus and 120573119909 and120573120593 are the constants to correct the translation and rotation ofthe spring respectively 120573119909 and 120573120593 have strong relationshipswith the foundation length-width ratio and according to theexisting literature [27] the approximate values of 120573119909 and 120573120593are equal to 1 119871 and 119861 are the foundation length and widthrespectively and 119871 and119861 are parallel and perpendicular to thedirection of earthquake respectively 120588 is soil density and 119903ℎand 119903119903 are equivalent radii of the foundation that correspondto translation and rotation respectivelyThemaximum shearmodulus119866max is only suitablewhen the soil is in the low straincondition and it can be expressed as a function of the shearwave velocity 119881119904 and soil density 120588

When the soil is in the inelastic stage the shear modulus119866 is significantly reduced The shear modulus 119866 will bechanged when the shear strain 120574 is beyond the range ofthe elastic state because of a dynamic effect To realisticallysimulate the ground effect the shear modulus 119866 needs to bereduced by introducing the shear modulus reduction curve

22 Pounding Calculation Model Sliding base-isolatedliquid-storage structures will suffer large amounts ofslippage under the action of some strong earthquakesThus the pounding dynamic responses caused by poundingbetween the liquid-storage structure and moat wall areimportant subjects to study The contact element methodis an effective technique to simulate pounding problemscommon pounding models include the linear model Kelvinmodel Hertz model and Hertz-damp model [24 28ndash31]Muthumar and Desroches [29] concluded that for thesame parameters the differences in the displacements andacceleration calculated by the different models are within12 Chau et al [24] and Jankowski [31] systematicallycompared the numerical and experimental results of thepounding models for different materials and showed thatboth the linear and nonlinear pounding models could satisfythe precision requirements for engineering

Previous experimental studies have shown that the energyloss during the pounding process is mainly concentratedwhen the two objects are approaching each other but isrelatively small during the recovery phase [32] The modifiedHertz model (Hertz-damp model) which is composed ofnonlinear springs and a nonlinear damping element (Fig-ure 1) is chosen to simulate the pounding The model doesnot consider the energy loss in the pounding recovery phaseand assumes that all of the energy loss caused by poundingoccurs as the two objects approach each other [31] Thecontact forces during the pounding and recovery phases canbe expressed as (4) and (5) respectively

31 Calculation Parameters of the System The size of therectangular liquid-storage structure is 6m times 6m times 48m theliquid height is 36m the wall thickness is 02m and themoat wall thickness is 02m The damping ratio 1205850 of thestructure and the liquid rigid mass is 005The damping ratio120585119888 corresponding to the liquid convection mass is 0005 Theimpact stiffness 119896119901 is 275 times 109Nm The impact damping120585imp is 035 the COR is 065 [38]

A large number of studies show that a soft soil causesmore significant changes to the structural dynamic responsesTo study the influence of the foundation effect on thedynamic responses of the sliding base-isolated liquid-storagestructure a soft soil site is assumed to be the foundation basedon the Uniform Building Code (UBC2007) The materialparameters of this soft soil are shown in Table 1The dynamicshear modulus 119866 used to consider the foundation effect isassumed to be 60 of the maximum shear modulus 119866maxThe equivalent radii 119903ℎ and 119903119903 corresponding to foundationtranslation and rotation are 4m [39] and 119871 and 119861 of thefoundation are 66m

structural dynamic responses are calculated with andwithoutthe SSI The liquid sloshing height structural acceleration0 impact force and structural displacement 1199060 for the twoconditions are shown in Figure 5

As shown in Figure 5 the impact force and structuralacceleration show the pulse phenomenon at the momentof pounding The liquid sloshing height increases when theSSI is considered the probable reason being that the SSIeffect extends the period of the isolation system namelythe periods of the system corresponding to considering theSSI and not considering the SSI are 20 s and 23 s besidesthe liquid sloshing period (2726 s) is long Because thedifference of structure period and liquid sloshing periodbecomes small the liquid sloshing height is increased Thestructural acceleration and impact force will be reduced afterconsidering the SSI because the foundation plays the roleof a buffer at the moment of pounding Under the actionof strong near-field Chi-Chi and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake the structural slippage will exceed the initialgap but the sliding of the structure is limited because ofthe action of the surrounding moat wall so the influenceof the SSI effect on the maximum displacement response ofthe structure is relatively small In addition to the slippagethe structural dynamic response induced by the near-fieldearthquake is much larger than the response due to the far-field earthquake After considering the SSI the maximumliquid sloshing heights under the action of near-field and far-field earthquakes are 0822m and 0266m respectively themaximum structural acceleration values are 4936ms2 and1759ms2 respectively and the maximum impact forces are702 times 106N and 170 times 106N respectively From this analysiswe can conclude that near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earth-quake causes more serious damage to a sliding base-isolatedstructure than far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake and

that the former will greatly influence the function of thesliding isolation structure

34 Effect of the SSI on the Energy Responses of a Liquid-Storage Structure A remarkable characteristic of sliding iso-lation is that the friction effect will consume a large amount ofenergy when the structure moves In addition the dampingof the system will dissipate a portion of the energy and thepounding effect can dissipate another portion of the energywhen pounding occurs In addition in order to validatethe motion equations derived from Hamiltonrsquos principle theinput energy of the earthquake and the total dissipated energyconsidering the SSI effect are shown in Figure 6 For the twotypes of earthquake actions the friction energy dissipation119864119865 the pounding energy dissipation 119864119875 and the dampingenergy dissipation 119864119863 that consider the SSI or not are shownin Figure 7

As seen from Figure 6 under the action of Chi-Chiand Imperial Valley-06 earthquakes the difference of inputenergy curve and total dissipated energy curve is smallwhen the SSI effect is considered so the rationality of thecorresponding equations proposed in this paper is verifiedto a certain degree Besides it is shown that the earthquakeinput energy is mainly dissipated by damping friction andpounding

As seen in Figure 7 the friction energy dissipation and thepounding energy dissipation are decreased and the dampingenergy dissipation is increased when the SSI are considered119864119865 and 119864119863 increase gradually as the time increases andfinally they tend to be stable 119864119875 only occurs at everypounding moment For the no pounding state 119864119875 does notincrease and the corresponding curve is linear so 119864119875 hasa ladder-type growth phenomenon with time The frictionenergy dissipation of the sliding isolation structure is much

larger than the damping energy dissipation Therefore areasonable selection of the friction coefficient of the slidingisolation layer has an important influence on the design ofthe sliding isolation structure

By comparing the corresponding energy responses forthe actions of the near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquakeand far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake we found that119864119865 119864119875 and 119864119863 corresponding to the Chi-Chi wave aremuch larger than those of the Imperial Valley-06 wave Toensure that a sliding base-isolated liquid-storage structurethat experiences strong earthquakes can continue to play itsimportant role the design requirements of each part of thestructure should be higher for near-field pulse-like Chi-Chiearthquake because each part of the system needs to dissipatemore seismic energy

4 Peak Response Analysis

41 Effect of the Initial Gap on Peak Responses 119892119901 is oneof the important parameters in the design of base-isolatedstructures and the gap size determines the occurrence ofpounding and the impact of pounding on the structuraldynamic responses To study the influence of 119892119901 on thedynamic responses while considering the SSI of a slidingisolation rectangular liquid-storage structure different valuesof 119892119901 liquid sloshing height structural acceleration andimpact force corresponding to different 119892119901 are studied Thecalculated results are shown in Figure 8

As shown in Figure 8 119892119901 has little effect on the liquidsloshing height after considering the SSI The maximum liq-uid sloshing height caused by near-field Chi-Chi earthquakeis approximately 2-3 times the height of the far-field ImperialValley-06 earthquake for a given value of 119892119901 In additionto some individual 119892119901 the response of the impact forceand structural acceleration caused by the near-field Chi-Chiearthquake is much larger than the far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake overall and the impact force and structuralacceleration first increase and then decrease as 119892119901 increasesFor the Chi-Chi and Imperial Valley-06 waves the structuralacceleration and impact forces are maximum values when 119892119901is 004m and 018m respectively Therefore in the design

of a sliding isolation structure there is critical 119892119901 that willcause the maximum dynamic responses when the pound-ing occurs which makes the structure more susceptible todamage and seriously affects the effectiveness of the isolationstructure Moreover 119892119901 corresponding to near-field Chi-Chiearthquake and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake thathave more adverse effects on the structure is different In thedesign of this type of structure to select a reasonable gap tominimize the adverse effect of pounding on the system thesite conditions should be seriously considered

42 Effect of the Friction Coefficient on the Peak ResponsesFriction coefficient 120583 is an important design parameter of asliding isolation structure because it directly determines theshock absorption effect of this type of structure For the casethat considers the foundation effect studying the influenceof 120583 on the dynamic responses is helpful to understand thepounding of the sliding isolation structure and to provide atheoretical basis for a rational design of a sliding isolationstructure After the SSI is considered the liquid sloshingheight structural acceleration and impact force correspond-ing to different friction coefficients are shown in Figure 9

As seen in Figure 9 the friction coefficient has little effecton the liquid sloshing wave height for the case of poundingthat considers the SSI In addition to the friction coefficientsof 008 and 010 the impact force and structural accelera-tion decrease as the friction coefficient increases overall Incomparison based on fitted curve we obtained the influenceof the friction coefficient on the dynamic response of thestructure for the near-field Chi-Chi earthquake is less thanthe far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake However underdifferent friction coefficients the dynamic responses of thesystem for the near-field Chi-Chi earthquake are significantlygreater than the far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake Thelarger coefficient of friction can reduce the probability ofpounding and the structural dynamic responses in the caseof pounding However it should be noted that the effect ofthis type of base-isolated structure is achieved by slidingWhen the friction coefficient is too large the structure willnot slip under some smaller earthquakes which is similar tothe structure with a fixed support so that the damping effect

Figure 10 Correlation effects of the friction coefficient and initial gap on the maximum horizontal displacement of the structure

liquid-storage structure is studied considering the SSI Thecalculated results are shown in Figure 10

As seen in Figure 10 the maximum horizontal displace-ment of the liquid-storage structure decreases as the frictioncoefficient increases and increases as the initial gap increasesoverall Under the near-field Chi-Chi earthquake when theinitial gap 119892119901 is small (010m and 012m) the frictioncoefficient has little effect on the maximum slippage of theliquid-storage structure because the maximum horizontaldisplacement of the liquid-storage structure with differentfriction coefficients can all reach119892119901 As119892119901 increases the effectof the friction coefficient on the slippage becomes obviousIn particular when 119892119901 is greater than or equal to 020 as thefriction coefficient increases the decreasing trend of slippageis evenmore significantWhen the friction coefficient is largethe slippage is small so 119892119901 has little effect on the slippageFor the far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake when thefriction coefficient is small (such as 008 or 010) the slippageincreases with increase of 119892119901 When the friction coefficientis greater than or equal to 012 the structure will not collidewith the moat wall so 119892119901 has no effect on the slippage

Based on the calculated results of Figure 10 if there isno surrounding moat wall the maximum slippage will begreater than 020m for the near-field Chi-Chi earthquakeand the maximum slippage will be smaller than 012m forthe far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake Therefore theamount of slippage for the structure experiencing near-fieldChi-Chi earthquake is significantly greater than the far-fieldImperial Valley-06 earthquake To avoid damage caused bylarge amounts of slippage to accessory pipelines of a slidingliquid-storage structure in the petroleum chemical industrya study of limiting measures for near-field pulse-like earth-quakes should receive great attention Meanwhile for near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake it is more necessary tostudy mitigation measures to reduce the pounding dynamicresponses

5 Conclusions

The SSI and the pounding possibility between a sliding isola-tion liquid-storage structure and its moat wall are considered

in this paper A simplified mechanical model of the slidingbase-isolated liquid-storage structure is established and thepounding dynamic responses of the system under the actionnear-field Chi-Chi earthquake and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake are studied The effects of the SSI initial gapand friction coefficient on the dynamic responses of a liquid-storage structure are discussed The main conclusions are asfollows

(1) The liquid sloshing height of a sliding isolation liquid-storage structure increases when the SSI is consideredbecause the SSI increases the period of the isolationstructure and the difference between the isolationperiod and liquid sloshing period becomes smallWhen the liquid-storage structure collides with themoat wall the structural dynamic responses due toa pulse phenomenon will appear but the structuralacceleration and impact force are reduced because ofthe buffer effect of the foundation

(2) The friction energy dissipation and pounding energydissipation of the system are reduced when the SSIis considered The friction energy dissipation anddamping energy dissipation gradually increase asthe time increases whereas the pounding energydissipation is only affected by each pounding andshows a ladder-type growth phenomenon as the timeincreases The friction energy dissipation poundingenergy dissipation and damping energy dissipationfor near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake are fargreater than far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquakeTo ensure that the structure continues to workproperly under some strong earthquakes the near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake affects the designprocess more for each part of the structure

(3) After considering the SSI the dynamic responses ofa sliding isolation liquid-storage structure with dif-ferent initial gaps for near-field Chi-Chi earthquakeare generally larger than far-field Imperial Valley-06earthquake 119892119901 has little effect on the liquid sloshingheight but the structural acceleration and impact

force first increase and then decrease as 119892119901 increasesTherefore when designing a sliding isolation struc-ture it should be noted that a certain value of 119892119901 willresult in the maximum pounding dynamic responsesand the effectiveness of the isolation structure will beseriously affected

(4) Increasing the friction coefficient can reduce thepounding dynamic responses of the structure to acertain extent However when the friction coefficientis large this type of isolation structure will not slideso it will lose the designed shock absorption duringsome earthquakesTherefore the selection of the fric-tion coefficient of a sliding isolation structure shouldbe considered comprehensively and an intermediatevalue for the friction coefficient is ideal

(5) When the friction coefficient is small the initial gapgreatly affects the slippage of a sliding isolation liquid-storage structure When the initial gap is large thefriction coefficient greatly affects the slippage of thesliding isolation liquid-storage structure

can control the base-isolated structure displacement [10]the pounding between the isolation structure and moat wallgreatly affects the system dynamic responses In recent yearssome scholars have paid attention to the pounding problemofthe base-isolated structure caused by an earthquake and haveachieved certain results Nagarajaiah and Sun [11] assessedthe dynamic responses of a base-isolated structure used for afire control command which was destroyed because of struc-ture and moat wall pounding during the 1994 Northridgeearthquake The results showed that the pounding increasedthe base-isolated structure dynamic responses Matsagar andJangid [12] assumed that pounding occurred only betweenthe bottom of the structure and the moat wall and studiedthe pounding dynamic responses of a building with variousisolation systems Komodromos [13] concluded that thedynamic responses caused by pounding increased as theimpact stiffness and isolation system stiffness increased basedon numerical simulations Fu et al [14] determined thatthe dynamic responses caused by pounding could changethe basic mode of the base-isolated structure and excite ahigher mode of the structure Masroor and Mosqueda [15]considered themoatwall flexibility in a poundingmodel of anisolated structure and found that themoatwall characteristicsgreatly influenced the amplification of the dynamic responseand degree of damage Pant and Wijeyewickrema [16] con-sidered different earthquake excitations and found that thepounding effect had a significant effect on the performance ofan isolated structure Fan et al [17] studied the vulnerabilityof an isolation structure with a moat wall and determinedthat the structure mass and mechanical parameters of anisolation bearing had a greater effect on the maximum basedisplacement Khatiwada and Chouw [18] noted that theimpact stiffness and coefficient of restitution were the mainfactors influencing the pounding responses

The foundation effect is not considered in the abovestudies when the base-isolated structure collides with themoat wall but the SSI has a significant effect on the vibra-tional frequency [19] the systemdamping ratio and rotationaldisplacement of the foundation [20] the structural dynamicresponses [21] and the reasonable choice of the isolationbearing [22] of an isolation structure Currently studies ofthe SSI on the pounding dynamic responses of a structure arevery limited [23] Chau et al [24] noted that the vibrationalresponse of the structure could be amplified but that the SSIcould suppress the vibrational response caused by poundingMahmoud and Gutub [25] found that the SSI effect had amore significant effect on isolated buildings located on a softsoil and the SSI effect could increase the number of collisionsbetween the structure and surrounding moat wall Shakyaand Wijeyewickrema [26] used the gap element and Kelvin-Voigt model to simulate the pounding problem and foundthat the dynamic responses of the structure will be reducedwhen the foundation is considered

In summary the effect of the SSI on the structuraldynamic responses is obvious Although the probability ofpounding of the sliding base-isolated structure with themoat wall is larger than the rubber isolation studies onthe dynamic responses of a sliding isolation structure thatconsider the SSI have not been performed The spring-mass

model is used to simulate the coupling problem of the slidingbase-isolated liquid-storage structure and the 2D viscoelasticartificial boundary is used to simulate the foundation effect Asimplifiedmechanicalmodel and the corresponding dynamicequations of the sliding isolation rectangular liquid-storagestructure that consider the SSI and pounding are estab-lished and the dynamic responses of the rectangular liquid-storage structure experiencing near-field pulse-like Chi-Chiearthquake and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake arestudied Sliding isolation has a certain advantage in theshock absorption of a liquid-storage structure and theoreticalresearch on this type of damping method is helpful to itsfuture application

2 Calculation Model

21 Foundation Model To consider the foundation effectthe lumped parameter model is used to simulate the elasticfoundation and the discrete model which is based on thetheory of a homogeneous isotropic and elastic half spaceTranslation and rotation of the foundation are simulatedusing the spring element and damping element respectivelyand the corresponding parameters can be calculated by usingthe following equations [27]

119896ℎ = 2 (1 minus ]) 119866120573119909radic119861119871119888ℎ = 0576119896ℎ119903ℎradic 120588119866119896119903 = 1198661 minus ]

where ] is Poissonrsquos ratio 119866 is the shear modulus and 120573119909 and120573120593 are the constants to correct the translation and rotation ofthe spring respectively 120573119909 and 120573120593 have strong relationshipswith the foundation length-width ratio and according to theexisting literature [27] the approximate values of 120573119909 and 120573120593are equal to 1 119871 and 119861 are the foundation length and widthrespectively and 119871 and119861 are parallel and perpendicular to thedirection of earthquake respectively 120588 is soil density and 119903ℎand 119903119903 are equivalent radii of the foundation that correspondto translation and rotation respectivelyThemaximum shearmodulus119866max is only suitablewhen the soil is in the low straincondition and it can be expressed as a function of the shearwave velocity 119881119904 and soil density 120588

119866max = 120588 (119881119904)2 (2)

When the soil is in the inelastic stage the shear modulus119866 is significantly reduced The shear modulus 119866 will bechanged when the shear strain 120574 is beyond the range ofthe elastic state because of a dynamic effect To realisticallysimulate the ground effect the shear modulus 119866 needs to bereduced by introducing the shear modulus reduction curve

22 Pounding Calculation Model Sliding base-isolatedliquid-storage structures will suffer large amounts ofslippage under the action of some strong earthquakesThus the pounding dynamic responses caused by poundingbetween the liquid-storage structure and moat wall areimportant subjects to study The contact element methodis an effective technique to simulate pounding problemscommon pounding models include the linear model Kelvinmodel Hertz model and Hertz-damp model [24 28ndash31]Muthumar and Desroches [29] concluded that for thesame parameters the differences in the displacements andacceleration calculated by the different models are within12 Chau et al [24] and Jankowski [31] systematicallycompared the numerical and experimental results of thepounding models for different materials and showed thatboth the linear and nonlinear pounding models could satisfythe precision requirements for engineering

Previous experimental studies have shown that the energyloss during the pounding process is mainly concentratedwhen the two objects are approaching each other but isrelatively small during the recovery phase [32] The modifiedHertz model (Hertz-damp model) which is composed ofnonlinear springs and a nonlinear damping element (Fig-ure 1) is chosen to simulate the pounding The model doesnot consider the energy loss in the pounding recovery phaseand assumes that all of the energy loss caused by poundingoccurs as the two objects approach each other [31] Thecontact forces during the pounding and recovery phases canbe expressed as (4) and (5) respectively

After two objects collide with each other the reasonableCOR greatly influences the rationality of the model For mostpounding problems of engineering structures the range ofCORs is 05ndash075 [31]

23 SimplifiedModel of a Sliding Isolation Rectangular Liquid-Storage Structure considering the SSI and Pounding Whenthe sliding base-isolated liquid-storage structure with moatwall (Figure 2) experiences a large earthquake and its mag-nitude of slippage exceeds the initial gap the structure willcollidewith themoatwall To study the influence of poundingon the dynamic responses of the liquid-storage structure areasonable calculationmodel should be developed Currentlythe spring-mass model is generally used as a simplificationof the liquid-storage structure and the structural dynamicresponses are generally calculated accurately [34] In thispaper the liquid is represented using a two-particle model[35] The liquid is divided into 2 parts rigid mass 1198980 andconvective mass 119898119888 In addition the mass of the reinforcedconcrete structure119898 is large so119898 should also be consideredin the dynamic analysis Because of the assumption that 1198980moves with the liquid-storage structure we can add 119898 and1198980 to obtain the total rigid mass 119898 + 1198980 to simplify themodel and reduce the degrees of freedom and the equivalentheights of the two particles are ℎ119888 and ℎ0 respectively Theconvective mass119898119888 is connected to the wall by an equivalentspring with corresponding stiffness and damping of 119896119888 and119888119888 respectively the stiffness and damping of the isolationlayer are 1198960 and 1198880 respectivelyThe lumpedparametermodelwhich is based on the theory of a homogeneous isotropicand elastic half space is used for the massless foundationand the foundation effect is simulated using a 2D viscoelasticartificial boundary The horizontal impedance values of thefoundation are 119896ℎ and 119888ℎ and the rocking impedance valuesof the foundation are 119896120593 and 119888120593

It is assumed that the liquid-storage structure may collidewith both sides of the moat wall during the action of ahorizontal earthquake and the Hertz-damp model is usedto simulate the nonlinear pounding problem The simplified

3 Pounding Dynamic Responses

31 Calculation Parameters of the System The size of therectangular liquid-storage structure is 6m times 6m times 48m theliquid height is 36m the wall thickness is 02m and themoat wall thickness is 02m The damping ratio 1205850 of thestructure and the liquid rigid mass is 005The damping ratio120585119888 corresponding to the liquid convection mass is 0005 Theimpact stiffness 119896119901 is 275 times 109Nm The impact damping120585imp is 035 the COR is 065 [38]

A large number of studies show that a soft soil causesmore significant changes to the structural dynamic responsesTo study the influence of the foundation effect on thedynamic responses of the sliding base-isolated liquid-storagestructure a soft soil site is assumed to be the foundation basedon the Uniform Building Code (UBC2007) The materialparameters of this soft soil are shown in Table 1The dynamicshear modulus 119866 used to consider the foundation effect isassumed to be 60 of the maximum shear modulus 119866maxThe equivalent radii 119903ℎ and 119903119903 corresponding to foundationtranslation and rotation are 4m [39] and 119871 and 119861 of thefoundation are 66m

32 Seismic Waves The near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earth-quake and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake are chosento conduct time history analyses The seismic waves arefrom the PEER strong earthquake observation database(httppeerberkeleyedusmcat) and information about theseismic waves is shown in Table 2 To study the dynamicresponses of the sliding base-isolated liquid-storage struc-ture the peak ground acceleration (PGA) of the two seismicwaves is adjusted to 10 g and the adjusted acceleration timehistory curves are shown in Figure 4

structural dynamic responses are calculated with andwithoutthe SSI The liquid sloshing height structural acceleration0 impact force and structural displacement 1199060 for the twoconditions are shown in Figure 5

As shown in Figure 5 the impact force and structuralacceleration show the pulse phenomenon at the momentof pounding The liquid sloshing height increases when theSSI is considered the probable reason being that the SSIeffect extends the period of the isolation system namelythe periods of the system corresponding to considering theSSI and not considering the SSI are 20 s and 23 s besidesthe liquid sloshing period (2726 s) is long Because thedifference of structure period and liquid sloshing periodbecomes small the liquid sloshing height is increased Thestructural acceleration and impact force will be reduced afterconsidering the SSI because the foundation plays the roleof a buffer at the moment of pounding Under the actionof strong near-field Chi-Chi and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake the structural slippage will exceed the initialgap but the sliding of the structure is limited because ofthe action of the surrounding moat wall so the influenceof the SSI effect on the maximum displacement response ofthe structure is relatively small In addition to the slippagethe structural dynamic response induced by the near-fieldearthquake is much larger than the response due to the far-field earthquake After considering the SSI the maximumliquid sloshing heights under the action of near-field and far-field earthquakes are 0822m and 0266m respectively themaximum structural acceleration values are 4936ms2 and1759ms2 respectively and the maximum impact forces are702 times 106N and 170 times 106N respectively From this analysiswe can conclude that near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earth-quake causes more serious damage to a sliding base-isolatedstructure than far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake and

that the former will greatly influence the function of thesliding isolation structure

34 Effect of the SSI on the Energy Responses of a Liquid-Storage Structure A remarkable characteristic of sliding iso-lation is that the friction effect will consume a large amount ofenergy when the structure moves In addition the dampingof the system will dissipate a portion of the energy and thepounding effect can dissipate another portion of the energywhen pounding occurs In addition in order to validatethe motion equations derived from Hamiltonrsquos principle theinput energy of the earthquake and the total dissipated energyconsidering the SSI effect are shown in Figure 6 For the twotypes of earthquake actions the friction energy dissipation119864119865 the pounding energy dissipation 119864119875 and the dampingenergy dissipation 119864119863 that consider the SSI or not are shownin Figure 7

As seen from Figure 6 under the action of Chi-Chiand Imperial Valley-06 earthquakes the difference of inputenergy curve and total dissipated energy curve is smallwhen the SSI effect is considered so the rationality of thecorresponding equations proposed in this paper is verifiedto a certain degree Besides it is shown that the earthquakeinput energy is mainly dissipated by damping friction andpounding

As seen in Figure 7 the friction energy dissipation and thepounding energy dissipation are decreased and the dampingenergy dissipation is increased when the SSI are considered119864119865 and 119864119863 increase gradually as the time increases andfinally they tend to be stable 119864119875 only occurs at everypounding moment For the no pounding state 119864119875 does notincrease and the corresponding curve is linear so 119864119875 hasa ladder-type growth phenomenon with time The frictionenergy dissipation of the sliding isolation structure is much

larger than the damping energy dissipation Therefore areasonable selection of the friction coefficient of the slidingisolation layer has an important influence on the design ofthe sliding isolation structure

By comparing the corresponding energy responses forthe actions of the near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquakeand far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake we found that119864119865 119864119875 and 119864119863 corresponding to the Chi-Chi wave aremuch larger than those of the Imperial Valley-06 wave Toensure that a sliding base-isolated liquid-storage structurethat experiences strong earthquakes can continue to play itsimportant role the design requirements of each part of thestructure should be higher for near-field pulse-like Chi-Chiearthquake because each part of the system needs to dissipatemore seismic energy

4 Peak Response Analysis

41 Effect of the Initial Gap on Peak Responses 119892119901 is oneof the important parameters in the design of base-isolatedstructures and the gap size determines the occurrence ofpounding and the impact of pounding on the structuraldynamic responses To study the influence of 119892119901 on thedynamic responses while considering the SSI of a slidingisolation rectangular liquid-storage structure different valuesof 119892119901 liquid sloshing height structural acceleration andimpact force corresponding to different 119892119901 are studied Thecalculated results are shown in Figure 8

As shown in Figure 8 119892119901 has little effect on the liquidsloshing height after considering the SSI The maximum liq-uid sloshing height caused by near-field Chi-Chi earthquakeis approximately 2-3 times the height of the far-field ImperialValley-06 earthquake for a given value of 119892119901 In additionto some individual 119892119901 the response of the impact forceand structural acceleration caused by the near-field Chi-Chiearthquake is much larger than the far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake overall and the impact force and structuralacceleration first increase and then decrease as 119892119901 increasesFor the Chi-Chi and Imperial Valley-06 waves the structuralacceleration and impact forces are maximum values when 119892119901is 004m and 018m respectively Therefore in the design

of a sliding isolation structure there is critical 119892119901 that willcause the maximum dynamic responses when the pound-ing occurs which makes the structure more susceptible todamage and seriously affects the effectiveness of the isolationstructure Moreover 119892119901 corresponding to near-field Chi-Chiearthquake and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake thathave more adverse effects on the structure is different In thedesign of this type of structure to select a reasonable gap tominimize the adverse effect of pounding on the system thesite conditions should be seriously considered

42 Effect of the Friction Coefficient on the Peak ResponsesFriction coefficient 120583 is an important design parameter of asliding isolation structure because it directly determines theshock absorption effect of this type of structure For the casethat considers the foundation effect studying the influenceof 120583 on the dynamic responses is helpful to understand thepounding of the sliding isolation structure and to provide atheoretical basis for a rational design of a sliding isolationstructure After the SSI is considered the liquid sloshingheight structural acceleration and impact force correspond-ing to different friction coefficients are shown in Figure 9

As seen in Figure 9 the friction coefficient has little effecton the liquid sloshing wave height for the case of poundingthat considers the SSI In addition to the friction coefficientsof 008 and 010 the impact force and structural accelera-tion decrease as the friction coefficient increases overall Incomparison based on fitted curve we obtained the influenceof the friction coefficient on the dynamic response of thestructure for the near-field Chi-Chi earthquake is less thanthe far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake However underdifferent friction coefficients the dynamic responses of thesystem for the near-field Chi-Chi earthquake are significantlygreater than the far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake Thelarger coefficient of friction can reduce the probability ofpounding and the structural dynamic responses in the caseof pounding However it should be noted that the effect ofthis type of base-isolated structure is achieved by slidingWhen the friction coefficient is too large the structure willnot slip under some smaller earthquakes which is similar tothe structure with a fixed support so that the damping effect

43 Correlation of the Friction Coefficient and Initial Gapon the Maximum Horizontal Displacement of the StructureSlippage is an important characteristic dynamic response of asliding isolation structure Although the amount of slippagehas little effect on the liquid-storage structure in theory

when taking into account some practical problems especiallyliquid-storage structures in the petroleum chemical industryand nuclear industry once the slippage exceeds a criticallimit the accessory pipelines will be damaged and liquidmayleak out This result is as serious as failure of the structureitself If we ignore the problem the loss of a sliding isolationstructure will outweigh the gain To have a more compre-hensive understanding of the slippage of the sliding isolationstructure the correlation effect of the friction coefficient andinitial gap on the maximum horizontal displacement of a

Figure 10 Correlation effects of the friction coefficient and initial gap on the maximum horizontal displacement of the structure

liquid-storage structure is studied considering the SSI Thecalculated results are shown in Figure 10

As seen in Figure 10 the maximum horizontal displace-ment of the liquid-storage structure decreases as the frictioncoefficient increases and increases as the initial gap increasesoverall Under the near-field Chi-Chi earthquake when theinitial gap 119892119901 is small (010m and 012m) the frictioncoefficient has little effect on the maximum slippage of theliquid-storage structure because the maximum horizontaldisplacement of the liquid-storage structure with differentfriction coefficients can all reach119892119901 As119892119901 increases the effectof the friction coefficient on the slippage becomes obviousIn particular when 119892119901 is greater than or equal to 020 as thefriction coefficient increases the decreasing trend of slippageis evenmore significantWhen the friction coefficient is largethe slippage is small so 119892119901 has little effect on the slippageFor the far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake when thefriction coefficient is small (such as 008 or 010) the slippageincreases with increase of 119892119901 When the friction coefficientis greater than or equal to 012 the structure will not collidewith the moat wall so 119892119901 has no effect on the slippage

Based on the calculated results of Figure 10 if there isno surrounding moat wall the maximum slippage will begreater than 020m for the near-field Chi-Chi earthquakeand the maximum slippage will be smaller than 012m forthe far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake Therefore theamount of slippage for the structure experiencing near-fieldChi-Chi earthquake is significantly greater than the far-fieldImperial Valley-06 earthquake To avoid damage caused bylarge amounts of slippage to accessory pipelines of a slidingliquid-storage structure in the petroleum chemical industrya study of limiting measures for near-field pulse-like earth-quakes should receive great attention Meanwhile for near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake it is more necessary tostudy mitigation measures to reduce the pounding dynamicresponses

5 Conclusions

The SSI and the pounding possibility between a sliding isola-tion liquid-storage structure and its moat wall are considered

in this paper A simplified mechanical model of the slidingbase-isolated liquid-storage structure is established and thepounding dynamic responses of the system under the actionnear-field Chi-Chi earthquake and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake are studied The effects of the SSI initial gapand friction coefficient on the dynamic responses of a liquid-storage structure are discussed The main conclusions are asfollows

(1) The liquid sloshing height of a sliding isolation liquid-storage structure increases when the SSI is consideredbecause the SSI increases the period of the isolationstructure and the difference between the isolationperiod and liquid sloshing period becomes smallWhen the liquid-storage structure collides with themoat wall the structural dynamic responses due toa pulse phenomenon will appear but the structuralacceleration and impact force are reduced because ofthe buffer effect of the foundation

(2) The friction energy dissipation and pounding energydissipation of the system are reduced when the SSIis considered The friction energy dissipation anddamping energy dissipation gradually increase asthe time increases whereas the pounding energydissipation is only affected by each pounding andshows a ladder-type growth phenomenon as the timeincreases The friction energy dissipation poundingenergy dissipation and damping energy dissipationfor near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake are fargreater than far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquakeTo ensure that the structure continues to workproperly under some strong earthquakes the near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake affects the designprocess more for each part of the structure

(3) After considering the SSI the dynamic responses ofa sliding isolation liquid-storage structure with dif-ferent initial gaps for near-field Chi-Chi earthquakeare generally larger than far-field Imperial Valley-06earthquake 119892119901 has little effect on the liquid sloshingheight but the structural acceleration and impact

Shock and Vibration 13

force first increase and then decrease as 119892119901 increasesTherefore when designing a sliding isolation struc-ture it should be noted that a certain value of 119892119901 willresult in the maximum pounding dynamic responsesand the effectiveness of the isolation structure will beseriously affected

(4) Increasing the friction coefficient can reduce thepounding dynamic responses of the structure to acertain extent However when the friction coefficientis large this type of isolation structure will not slideso it will lose the designed shock absorption duringsome earthquakesTherefore the selection of the fric-tion coefficient of a sliding isolation structure shouldbe considered comprehensively and an intermediatevalue for the friction coefficient is ideal

(5) When the friction coefficient is small the initial gapgreatly affects the slippage of a sliding isolation liquid-storage structure When the initial gap is large thefriction coefficient greatly affects the slippage of thesliding isolation liquid-storage structure

22 Pounding Calculation Model Sliding base-isolatedliquid-storage structures will suffer large amounts ofslippage under the action of some strong earthquakesThus the pounding dynamic responses caused by poundingbetween the liquid-storage structure and moat wall areimportant subjects to study The contact element methodis an effective technique to simulate pounding problemscommon pounding models include the linear model Kelvinmodel Hertz model and Hertz-damp model [24 28ndash31]Muthumar and Desroches [29] concluded that for thesame parameters the differences in the displacements andacceleration calculated by the different models are within12 Chau et al [24] and Jankowski [31] systematicallycompared the numerical and experimental results of thepounding models for different materials and showed thatboth the linear and nonlinear pounding models could satisfythe precision requirements for engineering

Previous experimental studies have shown that the energyloss during the pounding process is mainly concentratedwhen the two objects are approaching each other but isrelatively small during the recovery phase [32] The modifiedHertz model (Hertz-damp model) which is composed ofnonlinear springs and a nonlinear damping element (Fig-ure 1) is chosen to simulate the pounding The model doesnot consider the energy loss in the pounding recovery phaseand assumes that all of the energy loss caused by poundingoccurs as the two objects approach each other [31] Thecontact forces during the pounding and recovery phases canbe expressed as (4) and (5) respectively

After two objects collide with each other the reasonableCOR greatly influences the rationality of the model For mostpounding problems of engineering structures the range ofCORs is 05ndash075 [31]

23 SimplifiedModel of a Sliding Isolation Rectangular Liquid-Storage Structure considering the SSI and Pounding Whenthe sliding base-isolated liquid-storage structure with moatwall (Figure 2) experiences a large earthquake and its mag-nitude of slippage exceeds the initial gap the structure willcollidewith themoatwall To study the influence of poundingon the dynamic responses of the liquid-storage structure areasonable calculationmodel should be developed Currentlythe spring-mass model is generally used as a simplificationof the liquid-storage structure and the structural dynamicresponses are generally calculated accurately [34] In thispaper the liquid is represented using a two-particle model[35] The liquid is divided into 2 parts rigid mass 1198980 andconvective mass 119898119888 In addition the mass of the reinforcedconcrete structure119898 is large so119898 should also be consideredin the dynamic analysis Because of the assumption that 1198980moves with the liquid-storage structure we can add 119898 and1198980 to obtain the total rigid mass 119898 + 1198980 to simplify themodel and reduce the degrees of freedom and the equivalentheights of the two particles are ℎ119888 and ℎ0 respectively Theconvective mass119898119888 is connected to the wall by an equivalentspring with corresponding stiffness and damping of 119896119888 and119888119888 respectively the stiffness and damping of the isolationlayer are 1198960 and 1198880 respectivelyThe lumpedparametermodelwhich is based on the theory of a homogeneous isotropicand elastic half space is used for the massless foundationand the foundation effect is simulated using a 2D viscoelasticartificial boundary The horizontal impedance values of thefoundation are 119896ℎ and 119888ℎ and the rocking impedance valuesof the foundation are 119896120593 and 119888120593

It is assumed that the liquid-storage structure may collidewith both sides of the moat wall during the action of ahorizontal earthquake and the Hertz-damp model is usedto simulate the nonlinear pounding problem The simplified

3 Pounding Dynamic Responses

31 Calculation Parameters of the System The size of therectangular liquid-storage structure is 6m times 6m times 48m theliquid height is 36m the wall thickness is 02m and themoat wall thickness is 02m The damping ratio 1205850 of thestructure and the liquid rigid mass is 005The damping ratio120585119888 corresponding to the liquid convection mass is 0005 Theimpact stiffness 119896119901 is 275 times 109Nm The impact damping120585imp is 035 the COR is 065 [38]

A large number of studies show that a soft soil causesmore significant changes to the structural dynamic responsesTo study the influence of the foundation effect on thedynamic responses of the sliding base-isolated liquid-storagestructure a soft soil site is assumed to be the foundation basedon the Uniform Building Code (UBC2007) The materialparameters of this soft soil are shown in Table 1The dynamicshear modulus 119866 used to consider the foundation effect isassumed to be 60 of the maximum shear modulus 119866maxThe equivalent radii 119903ℎ and 119903119903 corresponding to foundationtranslation and rotation are 4m [39] and 119871 and 119861 of thefoundation are 66m

32 Seismic Waves The near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earth-quake and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake are chosento conduct time history analyses The seismic waves arefrom the PEER strong earthquake observation database(httppeerberkeleyedusmcat) and information about theseismic waves is shown in Table 2 To study the dynamicresponses of the sliding base-isolated liquid-storage struc-ture the peak ground acceleration (PGA) of the two seismicwaves is adjusted to 10 g and the adjusted acceleration timehistory curves are shown in Figure 4

structural dynamic responses are calculated with andwithoutthe SSI The liquid sloshing height structural acceleration0 impact force and structural displacement 1199060 for the twoconditions are shown in Figure 5

As shown in Figure 5 the impact force and structuralacceleration show the pulse phenomenon at the momentof pounding The liquid sloshing height increases when theSSI is considered the probable reason being that the SSIeffect extends the period of the isolation system namelythe periods of the system corresponding to considering theSSI and not considering the SSI are 20 s and 23 s besidesthe liquid sloshing period (2726 s) is long Because thedifference of structure period and liquid sloshing periodbecomes small the liquid sloshing height is increased Thestructural acceleration and impact force will be reduced afterconsidering the SSI because the foundation plays the roleof a buffer at the moment of pounding Under the actionof strong near-field Chi-Chi and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake the structural slippage will exceed the initialgap but the sliding of the structure is limited because ofthe action of the surrounding moat wall so the influenceof the SSI effect on the maximum displacement response ofthe structure is relatively small In addition to the slippagethe structural dynamic response induced by the near-fieldearthquake is much larger than the response due to the far-field earthquake After considering the SSI the maximumliquid sloshing heights under the action of near-field and far-field earthquakes are 0822m and 0266m respectively themaximum structural acceleration values are 4936ms2 and1759ms2 respectively and the maximum impact forces are702 times 106N and 170 times 106N respectively From this analysiswe can conclude that near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earth-quake causes more serious damage to a sliding base-isolatedstructure than far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake and

that the former will greatly influence the function of thesliding isolation structure

34 Effect of the SSI on the Energy Responses of a Liquid-Storage Structure A remarkable characteristic of sliding iso-lation is that the friction effect will consume a large amount ofenergy when the structure moves In addition the dampingof the system will dissipate a portion of the energy and thepounding effect can dissipate another portion of the energywhen pounding occurs In addition in order to validatethe motion equations derived from Hamiltonrsquos principle theinput energy of the earthquake and the total dissipated energyconsidering the SSI effect are shown in Figure 6 For the twotypes of earthquake actions the friction energy dissipation119864119865 the pounding energy dissipation 119864119875 and the dampingenergy dissipation 119864119863 that consider the SSI or not are shownin Figure 7

As seen from Figure 6 under the action of Chi-Chiand Imperial Valley-06 earthquakes the difference of inputenergy curve and total dissipated energy curve is smallwhen the SSI effect is considered so the rationality of thecorresponding equations proposed in this paper is verifiedto a certain degree Besides it is shown that the earthquakeinput energy is mainly dissipated by damping friction andpounding

As seen in Figure 7 the friction energy dissipation and thepounding energy dissipation are decreased and the dampingenergy dissipation is increased when the SSI are considered119864119865 and 119864119863 increase gradually as the time increases andfinally they tend to be stable 119864119875 only occurs at everypounding moment For the no pounding state 119864119875 does notincrease and the corresponding curve is linear so 119864119875 hasa ladder-type growth phenomenon with time The frictionenergy dissipation of the sliding isolation structure is much

larger than the damping energy dissipation Therefore areasonable selection of the friction coefficient of the slidingisolation layer has an important influence on the design ofthe sliding isolation structure

By comparing the corresponding energy responses forthe actions of the near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquakeand far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake we found that119864119865 119864119875 and 119864119863 corresponding to the Chi-Chi wave aremuch larger than those of the Imperial Valley-06 wave Toensure that a sliding base-isolated liquid-storage structurethat experiences strong earthquakes can continue to play itsimportant role the design requirements of each part of thestructure should be higher for near-field pulse-like Chi-Chiearthquake because each part of the system needs to dissipatemore seismic energy

4 Peak Response Analysis

41 Effect of the Initial Gap on Peak Responses 119892119901 is oneof the important parameters in the design of base-isolatedstructures and the gap size determines the occurrence ofpounding and the impact of pounding on the structuraldynamic responses To study the influence of 119892119901 on thedynamic responses while considering the SSI of a slidingisolation rectangular liquid-storage structure different valuesof 119892119901 liquid sloshing height structural acceleration andimpact force corresponding to different 119892119901 are studied Thecalculated results are shown in Figure 8

As shown in Figure 8 119892119901 has little effect on the liquidsloshing height after considering the SSI The maximum liq-uid sloshing height caused by near-field Chi-Chi earthquakeis approximately 2-3 times the height of the far-field ImperialValley-06 earthquake for a given value of 119892119901 In additionto some individual 119892119901 the response of the impact forceand structural acceleration caused by the near-field Chi-Chiearthquake is much larger than the far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake overall and the impact force and structuralacceleration first increase and then decrease as 119892119901 increasesFor the Chi-Chi and Imperial Valley-06 waves the structuralacceleration and impact forces are maximum values when 119892119901is 004m and 018m respectively Therefore in the design

of a sliding isolation structure there is critical 119892119901 that willcause the maximum dynamic responses when the pound-ing occurs which makes the structure more susceptible todamage and seriously affects the effectiveness of the isolationstructure Moreover 119892119901 corresponding to near-field Chi-Chiearthquake and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake thathave more adverse effects on the structure is different In thedesign of this type of structure to select a reasonable gap tominimize the adverse effect of pounding on the system thesite conditions should be seriously considered

42 Effect of the Friction Coefficient on the Peak ResponsesFriction coefficient 120583 is an important design parameter of asliding isolation structure because it directly determines theshock absorption effect of this type of structure For the casethat considers the foundation effect studying the influenceof 120583 on the dynamic responses is helpful to understand thepounding of the sliding isolation structure and to provide atheoretical basis for a rational design of a sliding isolationstructure After the SSI is considered the liquid sloshingheight structural acceleration and impact force correspond-ing to different friction coefficients are shown in Figure 9

As seen in Figure 9 the friction coefficient has little effecton the liquid sloshing wave height for the case of poundingthat considers the SSI In addition to the friction coefficientsof 008 and 010 the impact force and structural accelera-tion decrease as the friction coefficient increases overall Incomparison based on fitted curve we obtained the influenceof the friction coefficient on the dynamic response of thestructure for the near-field Chi-Chi earthquake is less thanthe far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake However underdifferent friction coefficients the dynamic responses of thesystem for the near-field Chi-Chi earthquake are significantlygreater than the far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake Thelarger coefficient of friction can reduce the probability ofpounding and the structural dynamic responses in the caseof pounding However it should be noted that the effect ofthis type of base-isolated structure is achieved by slidingWhen the friction coefficient is too large the structure willnot slip under some smaller earthquakes which is similar tothe structure with a fixed support so that the damping effect

43 Correlation of the Friction Coefficient and Initial Gapon the Maximum Horizontal Displacement of the StructureSlippage is an important characteristic dynamic response of asliding isolation structure Although the amount of slippagehas little effect on the liquid-storage structure in theory

when taking into account some practical problems especiallyliquid-storage structures in the petroleum chemical industryand nuclear industry once the slippage exceeds a criticallimit the accessory pipelines will be damaged and liquidmayleak out This result is as serious as failure of the structureitself If we ignore the problem the loss of a sliding isolationstructure will outweigh the gain To have a more compre-hensive understanding of the slippage of the sliding isolationstructure the correlation effect of the friction coefficient andinitial gap on the maximum horizontal displacement of a

Figure 10 Correlation effects of the friction coefficient and initial gap on the maximum horizontal displacement of the structure

liquid-storage structure is studied considering the SSI Thecalculated results are shown in Figure 10

As seen in Figure 10 the maximum horizontal displace-ment of the liquid-storage structure decreases as the frictioncoefficient increases and increases as the initial gap increasesoverall Under the near-field Chi-Chi earthquake when theinitial gap 119892119901 is small (010m and 012m) the frictioncoefficient has little effect on the maximum slippage of theliquid-storage structure because the maximum horizontaldisplacement of the liquid-storage structure with differentfriction coefficients can all reach119892119901 As119892119901 increases the effectof the friction coefficient on the slippage becomes obviousIn particular when 119892119901 is greater than or equal to 020 as thefriction coefficient increases the decreasing trend of slippageis evenmore significantWhen the friction coefficient is largethe slippage is small so 119892119901 has little effect on the slippageFor the far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake when thefriction coefficient is small (such as 008 or 010) the slippageincreases with increase of 119892119901 When the friction coefficientis greater than or equal to 012 the structure will not collidewith the moat wall so 119892119901 has no effect on the slippage

Based on the calculated results of Figure 10 if there isno surrounding moat wall the maximum slippage will begreater than 020m for the near-field Chi-Chi earthquakeand the maximum slippage will be smaller than 012m forthe far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake Therefore theamount of slippage for the structure experiencing near-fieldChi-Chi earthquake is significantly greater than the far-fieldImperial Valley-06 earthquake To avoid damage caused bylarge amounts of slippage to accessory pipelines of a slidingliquid-storage structure in the petroleum chemical industrya study of limiting measures for near-field pulse-like earth-quakes should receive great attention Meanwhile for near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake it is more necessary tostudy mitigation measures to reduce the pounding dynamicresponses

5 Conclusions

The SSI and the pounding possibility between a sliding isola-tion liquid-storage structure and its moat wall are considered

in this paper A simplified mechanical model of the slidingbase-isolated liquid-storage structure is established and thepounding dynamic responses of the system under the actionnear-field Chi-Chi earthquake and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake are studied The effects of the SSI initial gapand friction coefficient on the dynamic responses of a liquid-storage structure are discussed The main conclusions are asfollows

(1) The liquid sloshing height of a sliding isolation liquid-storage structure increases when the SSI is consideredbecause the SSI increases the period of the isolationstructure and the difference between the isolationperiod and liquid sloshing period becomes smallWhen the liquid-storage structure collides with themoat wall the structural dynamic responses due toa pulse phenomenon will appear but the structuralacceleration and impact force are reduced because ofthe buffer effect of the foundation

(2) The friction energy dissipation and pounding energydissipation of the system are reduced when the SSIis considered The friction energy dissipation anddamping energy dissipation gradually increase asthe time increases whereas the pounding energydissipation is only affected by each pounding andshows a ladder-type growth phenomenon as the timeincreases The friction energy dissipation poundingenergy dissipation and damping energy dissipationfor near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake are fargreater than far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquakeTo ensure that the structure continues to workproperly under some strong earthquakes the near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake affects the designprocess more for each part of the structure

(3) After considering the SSI the dynamic responses ofa sliding isolation liquid-storage structure with dif-ferent initial gaps for near-field Chi-Chi earthquakeare generally larger than far-field Imperial Valley-06earthquake 119892119901 has little effect on the liquid sloshingheight but the structural acceleration and impact

Shock and Vibration 13

force first increase and then decrease as 119892119901 increasesTherefore when designing a sliding isolation struc-ture it should be noted that a certain value of 119892119901 willresult in the maximum pounding dynamic responsesand the effectiveness of the isolation structure will beseriously affected

(4) Increasing the friction coefficient can reduce thepounding dynamic responses of the structure to acertain extent However when the friction coefficientis large this type of isolation structure will not slideso it will lose the designed shock absorption duringsome earthquakesTherefore the selection of the fric-tion coefficient of a sliding isolation structure shouldbe considered comprehensively and an intermediatevalue for the friction coefficient is ideal

(5) When the friction coefficient is small the initial gapgreatly affects the slippage of a sliding isolation liquid-storage structure When the initial gap is large thefriction coefficient greatly affects the slippage of thesliding isolation liquid-storage structure

After two objects collide with each other the reasonableCOR greatly influences the rationality of the model For mostpounding problems of engineering structures the range ofCORs is 05ndash075 [31]

23 SimplifiedModel of a Sliding Isolation Rectangular Liquid-Storage Structure considering the SSI and Pounding Whenthe sliding base-isolated liquid-storage structure with moatwall (Figure 2) experiences a large earthquake and its mag-nitude of slippage exceeds the initial gap the structure willcollidewith themoatwall To study the influence of poundingon the dynamic responses of the liquid-storage structure areasonable calculationmodel should be developed Currentlythe spring-mass model is generally used as a simplificationof the liquid-storage structure and the structural dynamicresponses are generally calculated accurately [34] In thispaper the liquid is represented using a two-particle model[35] The liquid is divided into 2 parts rigid mass 1198980 andconvective mass 119898119888 In addition the mass of the reinforcedconcrete structure119898 is large so119898 should also be consideredin the dynamic analysis Because of the assumption that 1198980moves with the liquid-storage structure we can add 119898 and1198980 to obtain the total rigid mass 119898 + 1198980 to simplify themodel and reduce the degrees of freedom and the equivalentheights of the two particles are ℎ119888 and ℎ0 respectively Theconvective mass119898119888 is connected to the wall by an equivalentspring with corresponding stiffness and damping of 119896119888 and119888119888 respectively the stiffness and damping of the isolationlayer are 1198960 and 1198880 respectivelyThe lumpedparametermodelwhich is based on the theory of a homogeneous isotropicand elastic half space is used for the massless foundationand the foundation effect is simulated using a 2D viscoelasticartificial boundary The horizontal impedance values of thefoundation are 119896ℎ and 119888ℎ and the rocking impedance valuesof the foundation are 119896120593 and 119888120593

It is assumed that the liquid-storage structure may collidewith both sides of the moat wall during the action of ahorizontal earthquake and the Hertz-damp model is usedto simulate the nonlinear pounding problem The simplified

A large number of studies show that a soft soil causesmore significant changes to the structural dynamic responsesTo study the influence of the foundation effect on thedynamic responses of the sliding base-isolated liquid-storagestructure a soft soil site is assumed to be the foundation basedon the Uniform Building Code (UBC2007) The materialparameters of this soft soil are shown in Table 1The dynamicshear modulus 119866 used to consider the foundation effect isassumed to be 60 of the maximum shear modulus 119866maxThe equivalent radii 119903ℎ and 119903119903 corresponding to foundationtranslation and rotation are 4m [39] and 119871 and 119861 of thefoundation are 66m

structural dynamic responses are calculated with andwithoutthe SSI The liquid sloshing height structural acceleration0 impact force and structural displacement 1199060 for the twoconditions are shown in Figure 5

As shown in Figure 5 the impact force and structuralacceleration show the pulse phenomenon at the momentof pounding The liquid sloshing height increases when theSSI is considered the probable reason being that the SSIeffect extends the period of the isolation system namelythe periods of the system corresponding to considering theSSI and not considering the SSI are 20 s and 23 s besidesthe liquid sloshing period (2726 s) is long Because thedifference of structure period and liquid sloshing periodbecomes small the liquid sloshing height is increased Thestructural acceleration and impact force will be reduced afterconsidering the SSI because the foundation plays the roleof a buffer at the moment of pounding Under the actionof strong near-field Chi-Chi and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake the structural slippage will exceed the initialgap but the sliding of the structure is limited because ofthe action of the surrounding moat wall so the influenceof the SSI effect on the maximum displacement response ofthe structure is relatively small In addition to the slippagethe structural dynamic response induced by the near-fieldearthquake is much larger than the response due to the far-field earthquake After considering the SSI the maximumliquid sloshing heights under the action of near-field and far-field earthquakes are 0822m and 0266m respectively themaximum structural acceleration values are 4936ms2 and1759ms2 respectively and the maximum impact forces are702 times 106N and 170 times 106N respectively From this analysiswe can conclude that near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earth-quake causes more serious damage to a sliding base-isolatedstructure than far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake and

that the former will greatly influence the function of thesliding isolation structure

34 Effect of the SSI on the Energy Responses of a Liquid-Storage Structure A remarkable characteristic of sliding iso-lation is that the friction effect will consume a large amount ofenergy when the structure moves In addition the dampingof the system will dissipate a portion of the energy and thepounding effect can dissipate another portion of the energywhen pounding occurs In addition in order to validatethe motion equations derived from Hamiltonrsquos principle theinput energy of the earthquake and the total dissipated energyconsidering the SSI effect are shown in Figure 6 For the twotypes of earthquake actions the friction energy dissipation119864119865 the pounding energy dissipation 119864119875 and the dampingenergy dissipation 119864119863 that consider the SSI or not are shownin Figure 7

As seen from Figure 6 under the action of Chi-Chiand Imperial Valley-06 earthquakes the difference of inputenergy curve and total dissipated energy curve is smallwhen the SSI effect is considered so the rationality of thecorresponding equations proposed in this paper is verifiedto a certain degree Besides it is shown that the earthquakeinput energy is mainly dissipated by damping friction andpounding

As seen in Figure 7 the friction energy dissipation and thepounding energy dissipation are decreased and the dampingenergy dissipation is increased when the SSI are considered119864119865 and 119864119863 increase gradually as the time increases andfinally they tend to be stable 119864119875 only occurs at everypounding moment For the no pounding state 119864119875 does notincrease and the corresponding curve is linear so 119864119875 hasa ladder-type growth phenomenon with time The frictionenergy dissipation of the sliding isolation structure is much

larger than the damping energy dissipation Therefore areasonable selection of the friction coefficient of the slidingisolation layer has an important influence on the design ofthe sliding isolation structure

By comparing the corresponding energy responses forthe actions of the near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquakeand far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake we found that119864119865 119864119875 and 119864119863 corresponding to the Chi-Chi wave aremuch larger than those of the Imperial Valley-06 wave Toensure that a sliding base-isolated liquid-storage structurethat experiences strong earthquakes can continue to play itsimportant role the design requirements of each part of thestructure should be higher for near-field pulse-like Chi-Chiearthquake because each part of the system needs to dissipatemore seismic energy

4 Peak Response Analysis

41 Effect of the Initial Gap on Peak Responses 119892119901 is oneof the important parameters in the design of base-isolatedstructures and the gap size determines the occurrence ofpounding and the impact of pounding on the structuraldynamic responses To study the influence of 119892119901 on thedynamic responses while considering the SSI of a slidingisolation rectangular liquid-storage structure different valuesof 119892119901 liquid sloshing height structural acceleration andimpact force corresponding to different 119892119901 are studied Thecalculated results are shown in Figure 8

As shown in Figure 8 119892119901 has little effect on the liquidsloshing height after considering the SSI The maximum liq-uid sloshing height caused by near-field Chi-Chi earthquakeis approximately 2-3 times the height of the far-field ImperialValley-06 earthquake for a given value of 119892119901 In additionto some individual 119892119901 the response of the impact forceand structural acceleration caused by the near-field Chi-Chiearthquake is much larger than the far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake overall and the impact force and structuralacceleration first increase and then decrease as 119892119901 increasesFor the Chi-Chi and Imperial Valley-06 waves the structuralacceleration and impact forces are maximum values when 119892119901is 004m and 018m respectively Therefore in the design

of a sliding isolation structure there is critical 119892119901 that willcause the maximum dynamic responses when the pound-ing occurs which makes the structure more susceptible todamage and seriously affects the effectiveness of the isolationstructure Moreover 119892119901 corresponding to near-field Chi-Chiearthquake and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake thathave more adverse effects on the structure is different In thedesign of this type of structure to select a reasonable gap tominimize the adverse effect of pounding on the system thesite conditions should be seriously considered

42 Effect of the Friction Coefficient on the Peak ResponsesFriction coefficient 120583 is an important design parameter of asliding isolation structure because it directly determines theshock absorption effect of this type of structure For the casethat considers the foundation effect studying the influenceof 120583 on the dynamic responses is helpful to understand thepounding of the sliding isolation structure and to provide atheoretical basis for a rational design of a sliding isolationstructure After the SSI is considered the liquid sloshingheight structural acceleration and impact force correspond-ing to different friction coefficients are shown in Figure 9

As seen in Figure 9 the friction coefficient has little effecton the liquid sloshing wave height for the case of poundingthat considers the SSI In addition to the friction coefficientsof 008 and 010 the impact force and structural accelera-tion decrease as the friction coefficient increases overall Incomparison based on fitted curve we obtained the influenceof the friction coefficient on the dynamic response of thestructure for the near-field Chi-Chi earthquake is less thanthe far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake However underdifferent friction coefficients the dynamic responses of thesystem for the near-field Chi-Chi earthquake are significantlygreater than the far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake Thelarger coefficient of friction can reduce the probability ofpounding and the structural dynamic responses in the caseof pounding However it should be noted that the effect ofthis type of base-isolated structure is achieved by slidingWhen the friction coefficient is too large the structure willnot slip under some smaller earthquakes which is similar tothe structure with a fixed support so that the damping effect

Figure 10 Correlation effects of the friction coefficient and initial gap on the maximum horizontal displacement of the structure

liquid-storage structure is studied considering the SSI Thecalculated results are shown in Figure 10

As seen in Figure 10 the maximum horizontal displace-ment of the liquid-storage structure decreases as the frictioncoefficient increases and increases as the initial gap increasesoverall Under the near-field Chi-Chi earthquake when theinitial gap 119892119901 is small (010m and 012m) the frictioncoefficient has little effect on the maximum slippage of theliquid-storage structure because the maximum horizontaldisplacement of the liquid-storage structure with differentfriction coefficients can all reach119892119901 As119892119901 increases the effectof the friction coefficient on the slippage becomes obviousIn particular when 119892119901 is greater than or equal to 020 as thefriction coefficient increases the decreasing trend of slippageis evenmore significantWhen the friction coefficient is largethe slippage is small so 119892119901 has little effect on the slippageFor the far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake when thefriction coefficient is small (such as 008 or 010) the slippageincreases with increase of 119892119901 When the friction coefficientis greater than or equal to 012 the structure will not collidewith the moat wall so 119892119901 has no effect on the slippage

Based on the calculated results of Figure 10 if there isno surrounding moat wall the maximum slippage will begreater than 020m for the near-field Chi-Chi earthquakeand the maximum slippage will be smaller than 012m forthe far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake Therefore theamount of slippage for the structure experiencing near-fieldChi-Chi earthquake is significantly greater than the far-fieldImperial Valley-06 earthquake To avoid damage caused bylarge amounts of slippage to accessory pipelines of a slidingliquid-storage structure in the petroleum chemical industrya study of limiting measures for near-field pulse-like earth-quakes should receive great attention Meanwhile for near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake it is more necessary tostudy mitigation measures to reduce the pounding dynamicresponses

5 Conclusions

The SSI and the pounding possibility between a sliding isola-tion liquid-storage structure and its moat wall are considered

in this paper A simplified mechanical model of the slidingbase-isolated liquid-storage structure is established and thepounding dynamic responses of the system under the actionnear-field Chi-Chi earthquake and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake are studied The effects of the SSI initial gapand friction coefficient on the dynamic responses of a liquid-storage structure are discussed The main conclusions are asfollows

(1) The liquid sloshing height of a sliding isolation liquid-storage structure increases when the SSI is consideredbecause the SSI increases the period of the isolationstructure and the difference between the isolationperiod and liquid sloshing period becomes smallWhen the liquid-storage structure collides with themoat wall the structural dynamic responses due toa pulse phenomenon will appear but the structuralacceleration and impact force are reduced because ofthe buffer effect of the foundation

(2) The friction energy dissipation and pounding energydissipation of the system are reduced when the SSIis considered The friction energy dissipation anddamping energy dissipation gradually increase asthe time increases whereas the pounding energydissipation is only affected by each pounding andshows a ladder-type growth phenomenon as the timeincreases The friction energy dissipation poundingenergy dissipation and damping energy dissipationfor near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake are fargreater than far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquakeTo ensure that the structure continues to workproperly under some strong earthquakes the near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake affects the designprocess more for each part of the structure

(3) After considering the SSI the dynamic responses ofa sliding isolation liquid-storage structure with dif-ferent initial gaps for near-field Chi-Chi earthquakeare generally larger than far-field Imperial Valley-06earthquake 119892119901 has little effect on the liquid sloshingheight but the structural acceleration and impact

force first increase and then decrease as 119892119901 increasesTherefore when designing a sliding isolation struc-ture it should be noted that a certain value of 119892119901 willresult in the maximum pounding dynamic responsesand the effectiveness of the isolation structure will beseriously affected

(4) Increasing the friction coefficient can reduce thepounding dynamic responses of the structure to acertain extent However when the friction coefficientis large this type of isolation structure will not slideso it will lose the designed shock absorption duringsome earthquakesTherefore the selection of the fric-tion coefficient of a sliding isolation structure shouldbe considered comprehensively and an intermediatevalue for the friction coefficient is ideal

(5) When the friction coefficient is small the initial gapgreatly affects the slippage of a sliding isolation liquid-storage structure When the initial gap is large thefriction coefficient greatly affects the slippage of thesliding isolation liquid-storage structure

3 Pounding Dynamic Responses

31 Calculation Parameters of the System The size of therectangular liquid-storage structure is 6m times 6m times 48m theliquid height is 36m the wall thickness is 02m and themoat wall thickness is 02m The damping ratio 1205850 of thestructure and the liquid rigid mass is 005The damping ratio120585119888 corresponding to the liquid convection mass is 0005 Theimpact stiffness 119896119901 is 275 times 109Nm The impact damping120585imp is 035 the COR is 065 [38]

A large number of studies show that a soft soil causesmore significant changes to the structural dynamic responsesTo study the influence of the foundation effect on thedynamic responses of the sliding base-isolated liquid-storagestructure a soft soil site is assumed to be the foundation basedon the Uniform Building Code (UBC2007) The materialparameters of this soft soil are shown in Table 1The dynamicshear modulus 119866 used to consider the foundation effect isassumed to be 60 of the maximum shear modulus 119866maxThe equivalent radii 119903ℎ and 119903119903 corresponding to foundationtranslation and rotation are 4m [39] and 119871 and 119861 of thefoundation are 66m

32 Seismic Waves The near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earth-quake and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake are chosento conduct time history analyses The seismic waves arefrom the PEER strong earthquake observation database(httppeerberkeleyedusmcat) and information about theseismic waves is shown in Table 2 To study the dynamicresponses of the sliding base-isolated liquid-storage struc-ture the peak ground acceleration (PGA) of the two seismicwaves is adjusted to 10 g and the adjusted acceleration timehistory curves are shown in Figure 4

structural dynamic responses are calculated with andwithoutthe SSI The liquid sloshing height structural acceleration0 impact force and structural displacement 1199060 for the twoconditions are shown in Figure 5

As shown in Figure 5 the impact force and structuralacceleration show the pulse phenomenon at the momentof pounding The liquid sloshing height increases when theSSI is considered the probable reason being that the SSIeffect extends the period of the isolation system namelythe periods of the system corresponding to considering theSSI and not considering the SSI are 20 s and 23 s besidesthe liquid sloshing period (2726 s) is long Because thedifference of structure period and liquid sloshing periodbecomes small the liquid sloshing height is increased Thestructural acceleration and impact force will be reduced afterconsidering the SSI because the foundation plays the roleof a buffer at the moment of pounding Under the actionof strong near-field Chi-Chi and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake the structural slippage will exceed the initialgap but the sliding of the structure is limited because ofthe action of the surrounding moat wall so the influenceof the SSI effect on the maximum displacement response ofthe structure is relatively small In addition to the slippagethe structural dynamic response induced by the near-fieldearthquake is much larger than the response due to the far-field earthquake After considering the SSI the maximumliquid sloshing heights under the action of near-field and far-field earthquakes are 0822m and 0266m respectively themaximum structural acceleration values are 4936ms2 and1759ms2 respectively and the maximum impact forces are702 times 106N and 170 times 106N respectively From this analysiswe can conclude that near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earth-quake causes more serious damage to a sliding base-isolatedstructure than far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake and

that the former will greatly influence the function of thesliding isolation structure

34 Effect of the SSI on the Energy Responses of a Liquid-Storage Structure A remarkable characteristic of sliding iso-lation is that the friction effect will consume a large amount ofenergy when the structure moves In addition the dampingof the system will dissipate a portion of the energy and thepounding effect can dissipate another portion of the energywhen pounding occurs In addition in order to validatethe motion equations derived from Hamiltonrsquos principle theinput energy of the earthquake and the total dissipated energyconsidering the SSI effect are shown in Figure 6 For the twotypes of earthquake actions the friction energy dissipation119864119865 the pounding energy dissipation 119864119875 and the dampingenergy dissipation 119864119863 that consider the SSI or not are shownin Figure 7

As seen from Figure 6 under the action of Chi-Chiand Imperial Valley-06 earthquakes the difference of inputenergy curve and total dissipated energy curve is smallwhen the SSI effect is considered so the rationality of thecorresponding equations proposed in this paper is verifiedto a certain degree Besides it is shown that the earthquakeinput energy is mainly dissipated by damping friction andpounding

As seen in Figure 7 the friction energy dissipation and thepounding energy dissipation are decreased and the dampingenergy dissipation is increased when the SSI are considered119864119865 and 119864119863 increase gradually as the time increases andfinally they tend to be stable 119864119875 only occurs at everypounding moment For the no pounding state 119864119875 does notincrease and the corresponding curve is linear so 119864119875 hasa ladder-type growth phenomenon with time The frictionenergy dissipation of the sliding isolation structure is much

larger than the damping energy dissipation Therefore areasonable selection of the friction coefficient of the slidingisolation layer has an important influence on the design ofthe sliding isolation structure

By comparing the corresponding energy responses forthe actions of the near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquakeand far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake we found that119864119865 119864119875 and 119864119863 corresponding to the Chi-Chi wave aremuch larger than those of the Imperial Valley-06 wave Toensure that a sliding base-isolated liquid-storage structurethat experiences strong earthquakes can continue to play itsimportant role the design requirements of each part of thestructure should be higher for near-field pulse-like Chi-Chiearthquake because each part of the system needs to dissipatemore seismic energy

4 Peak Response Analysis

41 Effect of the Initial Gap on Peak Responses 119892119901 is oneof the important parameters in the design of base-isolatedstructures and the gap size determines the occurrence ofpounding and the impact of pounding on the structuraldynamic responses To study the influence of 119892119901 on thedynamic responses while considering the SSI of a slidingisolation rectangular liquid-storage structure different valuesof 119892119901 liquid sloshing height structural acceleration andimpact force corresponding to different 119892119901 are studied Thecalculated results are shown in Figure 8

As shown in Figure 8 119892119901 has little effect on the liquidsloshing height after considering the SSI The maximum liq-uid sloshing height caused by near-field Chi-Chi earthquakeis approximately 2-3 times the height of the far-field ImperialValley-06 earthquake for a given value of 119892119901 In additionto some individual 119892119901 the response of the impact forceand structural acceleration caused by the near-field Chi-Chiearthquake is much larger than the far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake overall and the impact force and structuralacceleration first increase and then decrease as 119892119901 increasesFor the Chi-Chi and Imperial Valley-06 waves the structuralacceleration and impact forces are maximum values when 119892119901is 004m and 018m respectively Therefore in the design

of a sliding isolation structure there is critical 119892119901 that willcause the maximum dynamic responses when the pound-ing occurs which makes the structure more susceptible todamage and seriously affects the effectiveness of the isolationstructure Moreover 119892119901 corresponding to near-field Chi-Chiearthquake and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake thathave more adverse effects on the structure is different In thedesign of this type of structure to select a reasonable gap tominimize the adverse effect of pounding on the system thesite conditions should be seriously considered

42 Effect of the Friction Coefficient on the Peak ResponsesFriction coefficient 120583 is an important design parameter of asliding isolation structure because it directly determines theshock absorption effect of this type of structure For the casethat considers the foundation effect studying the influenceof 120583 on the dynamic responses is helpful to understand thepounding of the sliding isolation structure and to provide atheoretical basis for a rational design of a sliding isolationstructure After the SSI is considered the liquid sloshingheight structural acceleration and impact force correspond-ing to different friction coefficients are shown in Figure 9

As seen in Figure 9 the friction coefficient has little effecton the liquid sloshing wave height for the case of poundingthat considers the SSI In addition to the friction coefficientsof 008 and 010 the impact force and structural accelera-tion decrease as the friction coefficient increases overall Incomparison based on fitted curve we obtained the influenceof the friction coefficient on the dynamic response of thestructure for the near-field Chi-Chi earthquake is less thanthe far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake However underdifferent friction coefficients the dynamic responses of thesystem for the near-field Chi-Chi earthquake are significantlygreater than the far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake Thelarger coefficient of friction can reduce the probability ofpounding and the structural dynamic responses in the caseof pounding However it should be noted that the effect ofthis type of base-isolated structure is achieved by slidingWhen the friction coefficient is too large the structure willnot slip under some smaller earthquakes which is similar tothe structure with a fixed support so that the damping effect

when taking into account some practical problems especiallyliquid-storage structures in the petroleum chemical industryand nuclear industry once the slippage exceeds a criticallimit the accessory pipelines will be damaged and liquidmayleak out This result is as serious as failure of the structureitself If we ignore the problem the loss of a sliding isolationstructure will outweigh the gain To have a more compre-hensive understanding of the slippage of the sliding isolationstructure the correlation effect of the friction coefficient andinitial gap on the maximum horizontal displacement of a

Figure 10 Correlation effects of the friction coefficient and initial gap on the maximum horizontal displacement of the structure

liquid-storage structure is studied considering the SSI Thecalculated results are shown in Figure 10

As seen in Figure 10 the maximum horizontal displace-ment of the liquid-storage structure decreases as the frictioncoefficient increases and increases as the initial gap increasesoverall Under the near-field Chi-Chi earthquake when theinitial gap 119892119901 is small (010m and 012m) the frictioncoefficient has little effect on the maximum slippage of theliquid-storage structure because the maximum horizontaldisplacement of the liquid-storage structure with differentfriction coefficients can all reach119892119901 As119892119901 increases the effectof the friction coefficient on the slippage becomes obviousIn particular when 119892119901 is greater than or equal to 020 as thefriction coefficient increases the decreasing trend of slippageis evenmore significantWhen the friction coefficient is largethe slippage is small so 119892119901 has little effect on the slippageFor the far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake when thefriction coefficient is small (such as 008 or 010) the slippageincreases with increase of 119892119901 When the friction coefficientis greater than or equal to 012 the structure will not collidewith the moat wall so 119892119901 has no effect on the slippage

Based on the calculated results of Figure 10 if there isno surrounding moat wall the maximum slippage will begreater than 020m for the near-field Chi-Chi earthquakeand the maximum slippage will be smaller than 012m forthe far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake Therefore theamount of slippage for the structure experiencing near-fieldChi-Chi earthquake is significantly greater than the far-fieldImperial Valley-06 earthquake To avoid damage caused bylarge amounts of slippage to accessory pipelines of a slidingliquid-storage structure in the petroleum chemical industrya study of limiting measures for near-field pulse-like earth-quakes should receive great attention Meanwhile for near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake it is more necessary tostudy mitigation measures to reduce the pounding dynamicresponses

5 Conclusions

The SSI and the pounding possibility between a sliding isola-tion liquid-storage structure and its moat wall are considered

in this paper A simplified mechanical model of the slidingbase-isolated liquid-storage structure is established and thepounding dynamic responses of the system under the actionnear-field Chi-Chi earthquake and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake are studied The effects of the SSI initial gapand friction coefficient on the dynamic responses of a liquid-storage structure are discussed The main conclusions are asfollows

(1) The liquid sloshing height of a sliding isolation liquid-storage structure increases when the SSI is consideredbecause the SSI increases the period of the isolationstructure and the difference between the isolationperiod and liquid sloshing period becomes smallWhen the liquid-storage structure collides with themoat wall the structural dynamic responses due toa pulse phenomenon will appear but the structuralacceleration and impact force are reduced because ofthe buffer effect of the foundation

(2) The friction energy dissipation and pounding energydissipation of the system are reduced when the SSIis considered The friction energy dissipation anddamping energy dissipation gradually increase asthe time increases whereas the pounding energydissipation is only affected by each pounding andshows a ladder-type growth phenomenon as the timeincreases The friction energy dissipation poundingenergy dissipation and damping energy dissipationfor near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake are fargreater than far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquakeTo ensure that the structure continues to workproperly under some strong earthquakes the near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake affects the designprocess more for each part of the structure

(3) After considering the SSI the dynamic responses ofa sliding isolation liquid-storage structure with dif-ferent initial gaps for near-field Chi-Chi earthquakeare generally larger than far-field Imperial Valley-06earthquake 119892119901 has little effect on the liquid sloshingheight but the structural acceleration and impact

Shock and Vibration 13

force first increase and then decrease as 119892119901 increasesTherefore when designing a sliding isolation struc-ture it should be noted that a certain value of 119892119901 willresult in the maximum pounding dynamic responsesand the effectiveness of the isolation structure will beseriously affected

(4) Increasing the friction coefficient can reduce thepounding dynamic responses of the structure to acertain extent However when the friction coefficientis large this type of isolation structure will not slideso it will lose the designed shock absorption duringsome earthquakesTherefore the selection of the fric-tion coefficient of a sliding isolation structure shouldbe considered comprehensively and an intermediatevalue for the friction coefficient is ideal

(5) When the friction coefficient is small the initial gapgreatly affects the slippage of a sliding isolation liquid-storage structure When the initial gap is large thefriction coefficient greatly affects the slippage of thesliding isolation liquid-storage structure

A large number of studies show that a soft soil causesmore significant changes to the structural dynamic responsesTo study the influence of the foundation effect on thedynamic responses of the sliding base-isolated liquid-storagestructure a soft soil site is assumed to be the foundation basedon the Uniform Building Code (UBC2007) The materialparameters of this soft soil are shown in Table 1The dynamicshear modulus 119866 used to consider the foundation effect isassumed to be 60 of the maximum shear modulus 119866maxThe equivalent radii 119903ℎ and 119903119903 corresponding to foundationtranslation and rotation are 4m [39] and 119871 and 119861 of thefoundation are 66m

structural dynamic responses are calculated with andwithoutthe SSI The liquid sloshing height structural acceleration0 impact force and structural displacement 1199060 for the twoconditions are shown in Figure 5

As shown in Figure 5 the impact force and structuralacceleration show the pulse phenomenon at the momentof pounding The liquid sloshing height increases when theSSI is considered the probable reason being that the SSIeffect extends the period of the isolation system namelythe periods of the system corresponding to considering theSSI and not considering the SSI are 20 s and 23 s besidesthe liquid sloshing period (2726 s) is long Because thedifference of structure period and liquid sloshing periodbecomes small the liquid sloshing height is increased Thestructural acceleration and impact force will be reduced afterconsidering the SSI because the foundation plays the roleof a buffer at the moment of pounding Under the actionof strong near-field Chi-Chi and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake the structural slippage will exceed the initialgap but the sliding of the structure is limited because ofthe action of the surrounding moat wall so the influenceof the SSI effect on the maximum displacement response ofthe structure is relatively small In addition to the slippagethe structural dynamic response induced by the near-fieldearthquake is much larger than the response due to the far-field earthquake After considering the SSI the maximumliquid sloshing heights under the action of near-field and far-field earthquakes are 0822m and 0266m respectively themaximum structural acceleration values are 4936ms2 and1759ms2 respectively and the maximum impact forces are702 times 106N and 170 times 106N respectively From this analysiswe can conclude that near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earth-quake causes more serious damage to a sliding base-isolatedstructure than far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake and

that the former will greatly influence the function of thesliding isolation structure

34 Effect of the SSI on the Energy Responses of a Liquid-Storage Structure A remarkable characteristic of sliding iso-lation is that the friction effect will consume a large amount ofenergy when the structure moves In addition the dampingof the system will dissipate a portion of the energy and thepounding effect can dissipate another portion of the energywhen pounding occurs In addition in order to validatethe motion equations derived from Hamiltonrsquos principle theinput energy of the earthquake and the total dissipated energyconsidering the SSI effect are shown in Figure 6 For the twotypes of earthquake actions the friction energy dissipation119864119865 the pounding energy dissipation 119864119875 and the dampingenergy dissipation 119864119863 that consider the SSI or not are shownin Figure 7

As seen from Figure 6 under the action of Chi-Chiand Imperial Valley-06 earthquakes the difference of inputenergy curve and total dissipated energy curve is smallwhen the SSI effect is considered so the rationality of thecorresponding equations proposed in this paper is verifiedto a certain degree Besides it is shown that the earthquakeinput energy is mainly dissipated by damping friction andpounding

As seen in Figure 7 the friction energy dissipation and thepounding energy dissipation are decreased and the dampingenergy dissipation is increased when the SSI are considered119864119865 and 119864119863 increase gradually as the time increases andfinally they tend to be stable 119864119875 only occurs at everypounding moment For the no pounding state 119864119875 does notincrease and the corresponding curve is linear so 119864119875 hasa ladder-type growth phenomenon with time The frictionenergy dissipation of the sliding isolation structure is much

larger than the damping energy dissipation Therefore areasonable selection of the friction coefficient of the slidingisolation layer has an important influence on the design ofthe sliding isolation structure

By comparing the corresponding energy responses forthe actions of the near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquakeand far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake we found that119864119865 119864119875 and 119864119863 corresponding to the Chi-Chi wave aremuch larger than those of the Imperial Valley-06 wave Toensure that a sliding base-isolated liquid-storage structurethat experiences strong earthquakes can continue to play itsimportant role the design requirements of each part of thestructure should be higher for near-field pulse-like Chi-Chiearthquake because each part of the system needs to dissipatemore seismic energy

4 Peak Response Analysis

41 Effect of the Initial Gap on Peak Responses 119892119901 is oneof the important parameters in the design of base-isolatedstructures and the gap size determines the occurrence ofpounding and the impact of pounding on the structuraldynamic responses To study the influence of 119892119901 on thedynamic responses while considering the SSI of a slidingisolation rectangular liquid-storage structure different valuesof 119892119901 liquid sloshing height structural acceleration andimpact force corresponding to different 119892119901 are studied Thecalculated results are shown in Figure 8

As shown in Figure 8 119892119901 has little effect on the liquidsloshing height after considering the SSI The maximum liq-uid sloshing height caused by near-field Chi-Chi earthquakeis approximately 2-3 times the height of the far-field ImperialValley-06 earthquake for a given value of 119892119901 In additionto some individual 119892119901 the response of the impact forceand structural acceleration caused by the near-field Chi-Chiearthquake is much larger than the far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake overall and the impact force and structuralacceleration first increase and then decrease as 119892119901 increasesFor the Chi-Chi and Imperial Valley-06 waves the structuralacceleration and impact forces are maximum values when 119892119901is 004m and 018m respectively Therefore in the design

of a sliding isolation structure there is critical 119892119901 that willcause the maximum dynamic responses when the pound-ing occurs which makes the structure more susceptible todamage and seriously affects the effectiveness of the isolationstructure Moreover 119892119901 corresponding to near-field Chi-Chiearthquake and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake thathave more adverse effects on the structure is different In thedesign of this type of structure to select a reasonable gap tominimize the adverse effect of pounding on the system thesite conditions should be seriously considered

42 Effect of the Friction Coefficient on the Peak ResponsesFriction coefficient 120583 is an important design parameter of asliding isolation structure because it directly determines theshock absorption effect of this type of structure For the casethat considers the foundation effect studying the influenceof 120583 on the dynamic responses is helpful to understand thepounding of the sliding isolation structure and to provide atheoretical basis for a rational design of a sliding isolationstructure After the SSI is considered the liquid sloshingheight structural acceleration and impact force correspond-ing to different friction coefficients are shown in Figure 9

As seen in Figure 9 the friction coefficient has little effecton the liquid sloshing wave height for the case of poundingthat considers the SSI In addition to the friction coefficientsof 008 and 010 the impact force and structural accelera-tion decrease as the friction coefficient increases overall Incomparison based on fitted curve we obtained the influenceof the friction coefficient on the dynamic response of thestructure for the near-field Chi-Chi earthquake is less thanthe far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake However underdifferent friction coefficients the dynamic responses of thesystem for the near-field Chi-Chi earthquake are significantlygreater than the far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake Thelarger coefficient of friction can reduce the probability ofpounding and the structural dynamic responses in the caseof pounding However it should be noted that the effect ofthis type of base-isolated structure is achieved by slidingWhen the friction coefficient is too large the structure willnot slip under some smaller earthquakes which is similar tothe structure with a fixed support so that the damping effect

when taking into account some practical problems especiallyliquid-storage structures in the petroleum chemical industryand nuclear industry once the slippage exceeds a criticallimit the accessory pipelines will be damaged and liquidmayleak out This result is as serious as failure of the structureitself If we ignore the problem the loss of a sliding isolationstructure will outweigh the gain To have a more compre-hensive understanding of the slippage of the sliding isolationstructure the correlation effect of the friction coefficient andinitial gap on the maximum horizontal displacement of a

Figure 10 Correlation effects of the friction coefficient and initial gap on the maximum horizontal displacement of the structure

liquid-storage structure is studied considering the SSI Thecalculated results are shown in Figure 10

As seen in Figure 10 the maximum horizontal displace-ment of the liquid-storage structure decreases as the frictioncoefficient increases and increases as the initial gap increasesoverall Under the near-field Chi-Chi earthquake when theinitial gap 119892119901 is small (010m and 012m) the frictioncoefficient has little effect on the maximum slippage of theliquid-storage structure because the maximum horizontaldisplacement of the liquid-storage structure with differentfriction coefficients can all reach119892119901 As119892119901 increases the effectof the friction coefficient on the slippage becomes obviousIn particular when 119892119901 is greater than or equal to 020 as thefriction coefficient increases the decreasing trend of slippageis evenmore significantWhen the friction coefficient is largethe slippage is small so 119892119901 has little effect on the slippageFor the far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake when thefriction coefficient is small (such as 008 or 010) the slippageincreases with increase of 119892119901 When the friction coefficientis greater than or equal to 012 the structure will not collidewith the moat wall so 119892119901 has no effect on the slippage

Based on the calculated results of Figure 10 if there isno surrounding moat wall the maximum slippage will begreater than 020m for the near-field Chi-Chi earthquakeand the maximum slippage will be smaller than 012m forthe far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake Therefore theamount of slippage for the structure experiencing near-fieldChi-Chi earthquake is significantly greater than the far-fieldImperial Valley-06 earthquake To avoid damage caused bylarge amounts of slippage to accessory pipelines of a slidingliquid-storage structure in the petroleum chemical industrya study of limiting measures for near-field pulse-like earth-quakes should receive great attention Meanwhile for near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake it is more necessary tostudy mitigation measures to reduce the pounding dynamicresponses

5 Conclusions

The SSI and the pounding possibility between a sliding isola-tion liquid-storage structure and its moat wall are considered

in this paper A simplified mechanical model of the slidingbase-isolated liquid-storage structure is established and thepounding dynamic responses of the system under the actionnear-field Chi-Chi earthquake and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake are studied The effects of the SSI initial gapand friction coefficient on the dynamic responses of a liquid-storage structure are discussed The main conclusions are asfollows

(1) The liquid sloshing height of a sliding isolation liquid-storage structure increases when the SSI is consideredbecause the SSI increases the period of the isolationstructure and the difference between the isolationperiod and liquid sloshing period becomes smallWhen the liquid-storage structure collides with themoat wall the structural dynamic responses due toa pulse phenomenon will appear but the structuralacceleration and impact force are reduced because ofthe buffer effect of the foundation

(2) The friction energy dissipation and pounding energydissipation of the system are reduced when the SSIis considered The friction energy dissipation anddamping energy dissipation gradually increase asthe time increases whereas the pounding energydissipation is only affected by each pounding andshows a ladder-type growth phenomenon as the timeincreases The friction energy dissipation poundingenergy dissipation and damping energy dissipationfor near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake are fargreater than far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquakeTo ensure that the structure continues to workproperly under some strong earthquakes the near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake affects the designprocess more for each part of the structure

(3) After considering the SSI the dynamic responses ofa sliding isolation liquid-storage structure with dif-ferent initial gaps for near-field Chi-Chi earthquakeare generally larger than far-field Imperial Valley-06earthquake 119892119901 has little effect on the liquid sloshingheight but the structural acceleration and impact

force first increase and then decrease as 119892119901 increasesTherefore when designing a sliding isolation struc-ture it should be noted that a certain value of 119892119901 willresult in the maximum pounding dynamic responsesand the effectiveness of the isolation structure will beseriously affected

(4) Increasing the friction coefficient can reduce thepounding dynamic responses of the structure to acertain extent However when the friction coefficientis large this type of isolation structure will not slideso it will lose the designed shock absorption duringsome earthquakesTherefore the selection of the fric-tion coefficient of a sliding isolation structure shouldbe considered comprehensively and an intermediatevalue for the friction coefficient is ideal

(5) When the friction coefficient is small the initial gapgreatly affects the slippage of a sliding isolation liquid-storage structure When the initial gap is large thefriction coefficient greatly affects the slippage of thesliding isolation liquid-storage structure

Figure 4 Seismic waves

structural dynamic responses are calculated with andwithoutthe SSI The liquid sloshing height structural acceleration0 impact force and structural displacement 1199060 for the twoconditions are shown in Figure 5

As shown in Figure 5 the impact force and structuralacceleration show the pulse phenomenon at the momentof pounding The liquid sloshing height increases when theSSI is considered the probable reason being that the SSIeffect extends the period of the isolation system namelythe periods of the system corresponding to considering theSSI and not considering the SSI are 20 s and 23 s besidesthe liquid sloshing period (2726 s) is long Because thedifference of structure period and liquid sloshing periodbecomes small the liquid sloshing height is increased Thestructural acceleration and impact force will be reduced afterconsidering the SSI because the foundation plays the roleof a buffer at the moment of pounding Under the actionof strong near-field Chi-Chi and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake the structural slippage will exceed the initialgap but the sliding of the structure is limited because ofthe action of the surrounding moat wall so the influenceof the SSI effect on the maximum displacement response ofthe structure is relatively small In addition to the slippagethe structural dynamic response induced by the near-fieldearthquake is much larger than the response due to the far-field earthquake After considering the SSI the maximumliquid sloshing heights under the action of near-field and far-field earthquakes are 0822m and 0266m respectively themaximum structural acceleration values are 4936ms2 and1759ms2 respectively and the maximum impact forces are702 times 106N and 170 times 106N respectively From this analysiswe can conclude that near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earth-quake causes more serious damage to a sliding base-isolatedstructure than far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake and

that the former will greatly influence the function of thesliding isolation structure

34 Effect of the SSI on the Energy Responses of a Liquid-Storage Structure A remarkable characteristic of sliding iso-lation is that the friction effect will consume a large amount ofenergy when the structure moves In addition the dampingof the system will dissipate a portion of the energy and thepounding effect can dissipate another portion of the energywhen pounding occurs In addition in order to validatethe motion equations derived from Hamiltonrsquos principle theinput energy of the earthquake and the total dissipated energyconsidering the SSI effect are shown in Figure 6 For the twotypes of earthquake actions the friction energy dissipation119864119865 the pounding energy dissipation 119864119875 and the dampingenergy dissipation 119864119863 that consider the SSI or not are shownin Figure 7

As seen from Figure 6 under the action of Chi-Chiand Imperial Valley-06 earthquakes the difference of inputenergy curve and total dissipated energy curve is smallwhen the SSI effect is considered so the rationality of thecorresponding equations proposed in this paper is verifiedto a certain degree Besides it is shown that the earthquakeinput energy is mainly dissipated by damping friction andpounding

As seen in Figure 7 the friction energy dissipation and thepounding energy dissipation are decreased and the dampingenergy dissipation is increased when the SSI are considered119864119865 and 119864119863 increase gradually as the time increases andfinally they tend to be stable 119864119875 only occurs at everypounding moment For the no pounding state 119864119875 does notincrease and the corresponding curve is linear so 119864119875 hasa ladder-type growth phenomenon with time The frictionenergy dissipation of the sliding isolation structure is much

larger than the damping energy dissipation Therefore areasonable selection of the friction coefficient of the slidingisolation layer has an important influence on the design ofthe sliding isolation structure

By comparing the corresponding energy responses forthe actions of the near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquakeand far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake we found that119864119865 119864119875 and 119864119863 corresponding to the Chi-Chi wave aremuch larger than those of the Imperial Valley-06 wave Toensure that a sliding base-isolated liquid-storage structurethat experiences strong earthquakes can continue to play itsimportant role the design requirements of each part of thestructure should be higher for near-field pulse-like Chi-Chiearthquake because each part of the system needs to dissipatemore seismic energy

4 Peak Response Analysis

41 Effect of the Initial Gap on Peak Responses 119892119901 is oneof the important parameters in the design of base-isolatedstructures and the gap size determines the occurrence ofpounding and the impact of pounding on the structuraldynamic responses To study the influence of 119892119901 on thedynamic responses while considering the SSI of a slidingisolation rectangular liquid-storage structure different valuesof 119892119901 liquid sloshing height structural acceleration andimpact force corresponding to different 119892119901 are studied Thecalculated results are shown in Figure 8

As shown in Figure 8 119892119901 has little effect on the liquidsloshing height after considering the SSI The maximum liq-uid sloshing height caused by near-field Chi-Chi earthquakeis approximately 2-3 times the height of the far-field ImperialValley-06 earthquake for a given value of 119892119901 In additionto some individual 119892119901 the response of the impact forceand structural acceleration caused by the near-field Chi-Chiearthquake is much larger than the far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake overall and the impact force and structuralacceleration first increase and then decrease as 119892119901 increasesFor the Chi-Chi and Imperial Valley-06 waves the structuralacceleration and impact forces are maximum values when 119892119901is 004m and 018m respectively Therefore in the design

of a sliding isolation structure there is critical 119892119901 that willcause the maximum dynamic responses when the pound-ing occurs which makes the structure more susceptible todamage and seriously affects the effectiveness of the isolationstructure Moreover 119892119901 corresponding to near-field Chi-Chiearthquake and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake thathave more adverse effects on the structure is different In thedesign of this type of structure to select a reasonable gap tominimize the adverse effect of pounding on the system thesite conditions should be seriously considered

42 Effect of the Friction Coefficient on the Peak ResponsesFriction coefficient 120583 is an important design parameter of asliding isolation structure because it directly determines theshock absorption effect of this type of structure For the casethat considers the foundation effect studying the influenceof 120583 on the dynamic responses is helpful to understand thepounding of the sliding isolation structure and to provide atheoretical basis for a rational design of a sliding isolationstructure After the SSI is considered the liquid sloshingheight structural acceleration and impact force correspond-ing to different friction coefficients are shown in Figure 9

As seen in Figure 9 the friction coefficient has little effecton the liquid sloshing wave height for the case of poundingthat considers the SSI In addition to the friction coefficientsof 008 and 010 the impact force and structural accelera-tion decrease as the friction coefficient increases overall Incomparison based on fitted curve we obtained the influenceof the friction coefficient on the dynamic response of thestructure for the near-field Chi-Chi earthquake is less thanthe far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake However underdifferent friction coefficients the dynamic responses of thesystem for the near-field Chi-Chi earthquake are significantlygreater than the far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake Thelarger coefficient of friction can reduce the probability ofpounding and the structural dynamic responses in the caseof pounding However it should be noted that the effect ofthis type of base-isolated structure is achieved by slidingWhen the friction coefficient is too large the structure willnot slip under some smaller earthquakes which is similar tothe structure with a fixed support so that the damping effect

43 Correlation of the Friction Coefficient and Initial Gapon the Maximum Horizontal Displacement of the StructureSlippage is an important characteristic dynamic response of asliding isolation structure Although the amount of slippagehas little effect on the liquid-storage structure in theory

when taking into account some practical problems especiallyliquid-storage structures in the petroleum chemical industryand nuclear industry once the slippage exceeds a criticallimit the accessory pipelines will be damaged and liquidmayleak out This result is as serious as failure of the structureitself If we ignore the problem the loss of a sliding isolationstructure will outweigh the gain To have a more compre-hensive understanding of the slippage of the sliding isolationstructure the correlation effect of the friction coefficient andinitial gap on the maximum horizontal displacement of a

Figure 10 Correlation effects of the friction coefficient and initial gap on the maximum horizontal displacement of the structure

liquid-storage structure is studied considering the SSI Thecalculated results are shown in Figure 10

As seen in Figure 10 the maximum horizontal displace-ment of the liquid-storage structure decreases as the frictioncoefficient increases and increases as the initial gap increasesoverall Under the near-field Chi-Chi earthquake when theinitial gap 119892119901 is small (010m and 012m) the frictioncoefficient has little effect on the maximum slippage of theliquid-storage structure because the maximum horizontaldisplacement of the liquid-storage structure with differentfriction coefficients can all reach119892119901 As119892119901 increases the effectof the friction coefficient on the slippage becomes obviousIn particular when 119892119901 is greater than or equal to 020 as thefriction coefficient increases the decreasing trend of slippageis evenmore significantWhen the friction coefficient is largethe slippage is small so 119892119901 has little effect on the slippageFor the far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake when thefriction coefficient is small (such as 008 or 010) the slippageincreases with increase of 119892119901 When the friction coefficientis greater than or equal to 012 the structure will not collidewith the moat wall so 119892119901 has no effect on the slippage

Based on the calculated results of Figure 10 if there isno surrounding moat wall the maximum slippage will begreater than 020m for the near-field Chi-Chi earthquakeand the maximum slippage will be smaller than 012m forthe far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake Therefore theamount of slippage for the structure experiencing near-fieldChi-Chi earthquake is significantly greater than the far-fieldImperial Valley-06 earthquake To avoid damage caused bylarge amounts of slippage to accessory pipelines of a slidingliquid-storage structure in the petroleum chemical industrya study of limiting measures for near-field pulse-like earth-quakes should receive great attention Meanwhile for near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake it is more necessary tostudy mitigation measures to reduce the pounding dynamicresponses

5 Conclusions

The SSI and the pounding possibility between a sliding isola-tion liquid-storage structure and its moat wall are considered

in this paper A simplified mechanical model of the slidingbase-isolated liquid-storage structure is established and thepounding dynamic responses of the system under the actionnear-field Chi-Chi earthquake and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake are studied The effects of the SSI initial gapand friction coefficient on the dynamic responses of a liquid-storage structure are discussed The main conclusions are asfollows

(1) The liquid sloshing height of a sliding isolation liquid-storage structure increases when the SSI is consideredbecause the SSI increases the period of the isolationstructure and the difference between the isolationperiod and liquid sloshing period becomes smallWhen the liquid-storage structure collides with themoat wall the structural dynamic responses due toa pulse phenomenon will appear but the structuralacceleration and impact force are reduced because ofthe buffer effect of the foundation

(2) The friction energy dissipation and pounding energydissipation of the system are reduced when the SSIis considered The friction energy dissipation anddamping energy dissipation gradually increase asthe time increases whereas the pounding energydissipation is only affected by each pounding andshows a ladder-type growth phenomenon as the timeincreases The friction energy dissipation poundingenergy dissipation and damping energy dissipationfor near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake are fargreater than far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquakeTo ensure that the structure continues to workproperly under some strong earthquakes the near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake affects the designprocess more for each part of the structure

(3) After considering the SSI the dynamic responses ofa sliding isolation liquid-storage structure with dif-ferent initial gaps for near-field Chi-Chi earthquakeare generally larger than far-field Imperial Valley-06earthquake 119892119901 has little effect on the liquid sloshingheight but the structural acceleration and impact

force first increase and then decrease as 119892119901 increasesTherefore when designing a sliding isolation struc-ture it should be noted that a certain value of 119892119901 willresult in the maximum pounding dynamic responsesand the effectiveness of the isolation structure will beseriously affected

(4) Increasing the friction coefficient can reduce thepounding dynamic responses of the structure to acertain extent However when the friction coefficientis large this type of isolation structure will not slideso it will lose the designed shock absorption duringsome earthquakesTherefore the selection of the fric-tion coefficient of a sliding isolation structure shouldbe considered comprehensively and an intermediatevalue for the friction coefficient is ideal

(5) When the friction coefficient is small the initial gapgreatly affects the slippage of a sliding isolation liquid-storage structure When the initial gap is large thefriction coefficient greatly affects the slippage of thesliding isolation liquid-storage structure

larger than the damping energy dissipation Therefore areasonable selection of the friction coefficient of the slidingisolation layer has an important influence on the design ofthe sliding isolation structure

By comparing the corresponding energy responses forthe actions of the near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquakeand far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake we found that119864119865 119864119875 and 119864119863 corresponding to the Chi-Chi wave aremuch larger than those of the Imperial Valley-06 wave Toensure that a sliding base-isolated liquid-storage structurethat experiences strong earthquakes can continue to play itsimportant role the design requirements of each part of thestructure should be higher for near-field pulse-like Chi-Chiearthquake because each part of the system needs to dissipatemore seismic energy

4 Peak Response Analysis

41 Effect of the Initial Gap on Peak Responses 119892119901 is oneof the important parameters in the design of base-isolatedstructures and the gap size determines the occurrence ofpounding and the impact of pounding on the structuraldynamic responses To study the influence of 119892119901 on thedynamic responses while considering the SSI of a slidingisolation rectangular liquid-storage structure different valuesof 119892119901 liquid sloshing height structural acceleration andimpact force corresponding to different 119892119901 are studied Thecalculated results are shown in Figure 8

As shown in Figure 8 119892119901 has little effect on the liquidsloshing height after considering the SSI The maximum liq-uid sloshing height caused by near-field Chi-Chi earthquakeis approximately 2-3 times the height of the far-field ImperialValley-06 earthquake for a given value of 119892119901 In additionto some individual 119892119901 the response of the impact forceand structural acceleration caused by the near-field Chi-Chiearthquake is much larger than the far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake overall and the impact force and structuralacceleration first increase and then decrease as 119892119901 increasesFor the Chi-Chi and Imperial Valley-06 waves the structuralacceleration and impact forces are maximum values when 119892119901is 004m and 018m respectively Therefore in the design

of a sliding isolation structure there is critical 119892119901 that willcause the maximum dynamic responses when the pound-ing occurs which makes the structure more susceptible todamage and seriously affects the effectiveness of the isolationstructure Moreover 119892119901 corresponding to near-field Chi-Chiearthquake and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake thathave more adverse effects on the structure is different In thedesign of this type of structure to select a reasonable gap tominimize the adverse effect of pounding on the system thesite conditions should be seriously considered

42 Effect of the Friction Coefficient on the Peak ResponsesFriction coefficient 120583 is an important design parameter of asliding isolation structure because it directly determines theshock absorption effect of this type of structure For the casethat considers the foundation effect studying the influenceof 120583 on the dynamic responses is helpful to understand thepounding of the sliding isolation structure and to provide atheoretical basis for a rational design of a sliding isolationstructure After the SSI is considered the liquid sloshingheight structural acceleration and impact force correspond-ing to different friction coefficients are shown in Figure 9

As seen in Figure 9 the friction coefficient has little effecton the liquid sloshing wave height for the case of poundingthat considers the SSI In addition to the friction coefficientsof 008 and 010 the impact force and structural accelera-tion decrease as the friction coefficient increases overall Incomparison based on fitted curve we obtained the influenceof the friction coefficient on the dynamic response of thestructure for the near-field Chi-Chi earthquake is less thanthe far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake However underdifferent friction coefficients the dynamic responses of thesystem for the near-field Chi-Chi earthquake are significantlygreater than the far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake Thelarger coefficient of friction can reduce the probability ofpounding and the structural dynamic responses in the caseof pounding However it should be noted that the effect ofthis type of base-isolated structure is achieved by slidingWhen the friction coefficient is too large the structure willnot slip under some smaller earthquakes which is similar tothe structure with a fixed support so that the damping effect

43 Correlation of the Friction Coefficient and Initial Gapon the Maximum Horizontal Displacement of the StructureSlippage is an important characteristic dynamic response of asliding isolation structure Although the amount of slippagehas little effect on the liquid-storage structure in theory

when taking into account some practical problems especiallyliquid-storage structures in the petroleum chemical industryand nuclear industry once the slippage exceeds a criticallimit the accessory pipelines will be damaged and liquidmayleak out This result is as serious as failure of the structureitself If we ignore the problem the loss of a sliding isolationstructure will outweigh the gain To have a more compre-hensive understanding of the slippage of the sliding isolationstructure the correlation effect of the friction coefficient andinitial gap on the maximum horizontal displacement of a

Figure 10 Correlation effects of the friction coefficient and initial gap on the maximum horizontal displacement of the structure

liquid-storage structure is studied considering the SSI Thecalculated results are shown in Figure 10

As seen in Figure 10 the maximum horizontal displace-ment of the liquid-storage structure decreases as the frictioncoefficient increases and increases as the initial gap increasesoverall Under the near-field Chi-Chi earthquake when theinitial gap 119892119901 is small (010m and 012m) the frictioncoefficient has little effect on the maximum slippage of theliquid-storage structure because the maximum horizontaldisplacement of the liquid-storage structure with differentfriction coefficients can all reach119892119901 As119892119901 increases the effectof the friction coefficient on the slippage becomes obviousIn particular when 119892119901 is greater than or equal to 020 as thefriction coefficient increases the decreasing trend of slippageis evenmore significantWhen the friction coefficient is largethe slippage is small so 119892119901 has little effect on the slippageFor the far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake when thefriction coefficient is small (such as 008 or 010) the slippageincreases with increase of 119892119901 When the friction coefficientis greater than or equal to 012 the structure will not collidewith the moat wall so 119892119901 has no effect on the slippage

Based on the calculated results of Figure 10 if there isno surrounding moat wall the maximum slippage will begreater than 020m for the near-field Chi-Chi earthquakeand the maximum slippage will be smaller than 012m forthe far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake Therefore theamount of slippage for the structure experiencing near-fieldChi-Chi earthquake is significantly greater than the far-fieldImperial Valley-06 earthquake To avoid damage caused bylarge amounts of slippage to accessory pipelines of a slidingliquid-storage structure in the petroleum chemical industrya study of limiting measures for near-field pulse-like earth-quakes should receive great attention Meanwhile for near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake it is more necessary tostudy mitigation measures to reduce the pounding dynamicresponses

5 Conclusions

The SSI and the pounding possibility between a sliding isola-tion liquid-storage structure and its moat wall are considered

in this paper A simplified mechanical model of the slidingbase-isolated liquid-storage structure is established and thepounding dynamic responses of the system under the actionnear-field Chi-Chi earthquake and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake are studied The effects of the SSI initial gapand friction coefficient on the dynamic responses of a liquid-storage structure are discussed The main conclusions are asfollows

(1) The liquid sloshing height of a sliding isolation liquid-storage structure increases when the SSI is consideredbecause the SSI increases the period of the isolationstructure and the difference between the isolationperiod and liquid sloshing period becomes smallWhen the liquid-storage structure collides with themoat wall the structural dynamic responses due toa pulse phenomenon will appear but the structuralacceleration and impact force are reduced because ofthe buffer effect of the foundation

(2) The friction energy dissipation and pounding energydissipation of the system are reduced when the SSIis considered The friction energy dissipation anddamping energy dissipation gradually increase asthe time increases whereas the pounding energydissipation is only affected by each pounding andshows a ladder-type growth phenomenon as the timeincreases The friction energy dissipation poundingenergy dissipation and damping energy dissipationfor near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake are fargreater than far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquakeTo ensure that the structure continues to workproperly under some strong earthquakes the near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake affects the designprocess more for each part of the structure

(3) After considering the SSI the dynamic responses ofa sliding isolation liquid-storage structure with dif-ferent initial gaps for near-field Chi-Chi earthquakeare generally larger than far-field Imperial Valley-06earthquake 119892119901 has little effect on the liquid sloshingheight but the structural acceleration and impact

Shock and Vibration 13

force first increase and then decrease as 119892119901 increasesTherefore when designing a sliding isolation struc-ture it should be noted that a certain value of 119892119901 willresult in the maximum pounding dynamic responsesand the effectiveness of the isolation structure will beseriously affected

(4) Increasing the friction coefficient can reduce thepounding dynamic responses of the structure to acertain extent However when the friction coefficientis large this type of isolation structure will not slideso it will lose the designed shock absorption duringsome earthquakesTherefore the selection of the fric-tion coefficient of a sliding isolation structure shouldbe considered comprehensively and an intermediatevalue for the friction coefficient is ideal

(5) When the friction coefficient is small the initial gapgreatly affects the slippage of a sliding isolation liquid-storage structure When the initial gap is large thefriction coefficient greatly affects the slippage of thesliding isolation liquid-storage structure

larger than the damping energy dissipation Therefore areasonable selection of the friction coefficient of the slidingisolation layer has an important influence on the design ofthe sliding isolation structure

By comparing the corresponding energy responses forthe actions of the near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquakeand far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake we found that119864119865 119864119875 and 119864119863 corresponding to the Chi-Chi wave aremuch larger than those of the Imperial Valley-06 wave Toensure that a sliding base-isolated liquid-storage structurethat experiences strong earthquakes can continue to play itsimportant role the design requirements of each part of thestructure should be higher for near-field pulse-like Chi-Chiearthquake because each part of the system needs to dissipatemore seismic energy

4 Peak Response Analysis

41 Effect of the Initial Gap on Peak Responses 119892119901 is oneof the important parameters in the design of base-isolatedstructures and the gap size determines the occurrence ofpounding and the impact of pounding on the structuraldynamic responses To study the influence of 119892119901 on thedynamic responses while considering the SSI of a slidingisolation rectangular liquid-storage structure different valuesof 119892119901 liquid sloshing height structural acceleration andimpact force corresponding to different 119892119901 are studied Thecalculated results are shown in Figure 8

As shown in Figure 8 119892119901 has little effect on the liquidsloshing height after considering the SSI The maximum liq-uid sloshing height caused by near-field Chi-Chi earthquakeis approximately 2-3 times the height of the far-field ImperialValley-06 earthquake for a given value of 119892119901 In additionto some individual 119892119901 the response of the impact forceand structural acceleration caused by the near-field Chi-Chiearthquake is much larger than the far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake overall and the impact force and structuralacceleration first increase and then decrease as 119892119901 increasesFor the Chi-Chi and Imperial Valley-06 waves the structuralacceleration and impact forces are maximum values when 119892119901is 004m and 018m respectively Therefore in the design

of a sliding isolation structure there is critical 119892119901 that willcause the maximum dynamic responses when the pound-ing occurs which makes the structure more susceptible todamage and seriously affects the effectiveness of the isolationstructure Moreover 119892119901 corresponding to near-field Chi-Chiearthquake and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake thathave more adverse effects on the structure is different In thedesign of this type of structure to select a reasonable gap tominimize the adverse effect of pounding on the system thesite conditions should be seriously considered

42 Effect of the Friction Coefficient on the Peak ResponsesFriction coefficient 120583 is an important design parameter of asliding isolation structure because it directly determines theshock absorption effect of this type of structure For the casethat considers the foundation effect studying the influenceof 120583 on the dynamic responses is helpful to understand thepounding of the sliding isolation structure and to provide atheoretical basis for a rational design of a sliding isolationstructure After the SSI is considered the liquid sloshingheight structural acceleration and impact force correspond-ing to different friction coefficients are shown in Figure 9

As seen in Figure 9 the friction coefficient has little effecton the liquid sloshing wave height for the case of poundingthat considers the SSI In addition to the friction coefficientsof 008 and 010 the impact force and structural accelera-tion decrease as the friction coefficient increases overall Incomparison based on fitted curve we obtained the influenceof the friction coefficient on the dynamic response of thestructure for the near-field Chi-Chi earthquake is less thanthe far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake However underdifferent friction coefficients the dynamic responses of thesystem for the near-field Chi-Chi earthquake are significantlygreater than the far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake Thelarger coefficient of friction can reduce the probability ofpounding and the structural dynamic responses in the caseof pounding However it should be noted that the effect ofthis type of base-isolated structure is achieved by slidingWhen the friction coefficient is too large the structure willnot slip under some smaller earthquakes which is similar tothe structure with a fixed support so that the damping effect

43 Correlation of the Friction Coefficient and Initial Gapon the Maximum Horizontal Displacement of the StructureSlippage is an important characteristic dynamic response of asliding isolation structure Although the amount of slippagehas little effect on the liquid-storage structure in theory

when taking into account some practical problems especiallyliquid-storage structures in the petroleum chemical industryand nuclear industry once the slippage exceeds a criticallimit the accessory pipelines will be damaged and liquidmayleak out This result is as serious as failure of the structureitself If we ignore the problem the loss of a sliding isolationstructure will outweigh the gain To have a more compre-hensive understanding of the slippage of the sliding isolationstructure the correlation effect of the friction coefficient andinitial gap on the maximum horizontal displacement of a

Figure 10 Correlation effects of the friction coefficient and initial gap on the maximum horizontal displacement of the structure

liquid-storage structure is studied considering the SSI Thecalculated results are shown in Figure 10

As seen in Figure 10 the maximum horizontal displace-ment of the liquid-storage structure decreases as the frictioncoefficient increases and increases as the initial gap increasesoverall Under the near-field Chi-Chi earthquake when theinitial gap 119892119901 is small (010m and 012m) the frictioncoefficient has little effect on the maximum slippage of theliquid-storage structure because the maximum horizontaldisplacement of the liquid-storage structure with differentfriction coefficients can all reach119892119901 As119892119901 increases the effectof the friction coefficient on the slippage becomes obviousIn particular when 119892119901 is greater than or equal to 020 as thefriction coefficient increases the decreasing trend of slippageis evenmore significantWhen the friction coefficient is largethe slippage is small so 119892119901 has little effect on the slippageFor the far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake when thefriction coefficient is small (such as 008 or 010) the slippageincreases with increase of 119892119901 When the friction coefficientis greater than or equal to 012 the structure will not collidewith the moat wall so 119892119901 has no effect on the slippage

Based on the calculated results of Figure 10 if there isno surrounding moat wall the maximum slippage will begreater than 020m for the near-field Chi-Chi earthquakeand the maximum slippage will be smaller than 012m forthe far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake Therefore theamount of slippage for the structure experiencing near-fieldChi-Chi earthquake is significantly greater than the far-fieldImperial Valley-06 earthquake To avoid damage caused bylarge amounts of slippage to accessory pipelines of a slidingliquid-storage structure in the petroleum chemical industrya study of limiting measures for near-field pulse-like earth-quakes should receive great attention Meanwhile for near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake it is more necessary tostudy mitigation measures to reduce the pounding dynamicresponses

5 Conclusions

The SSI and the pounding possibility between a sliding isola-tion liquid-storage structure and its moat wall are considered

in this paper A simplified mechanical model of the slidingbase-isolated liquid-storage structure is established and thepounding dynamic responses of the system under the actionnear-field Chi-Chi earthquake and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake are studied The effects of the SSI initial gapand friction coefficient on the dynamic responses of a liquid-storage structure are discussed The main conclusions are asfollows

(1) The liquid sloshing height of a sliding isolation liquid-storage structure increases when the SSI is consideredbecause the SSI increases the period of the isolationstructure and the difference between the isolationperiod and liquid sloshing period becomes smallWhen the liquid-storage structure collides with themoat wall the structural dynamic responses due toa pulse phenomenon will appear but the structuralacceleration and impact force are reduced because ofthe buffer effect of the foundation

(2) The friction energy dissipation and pounding energydissipation of the system are reduced when the SSIis considered The friction energy dissipation anddamping energy dissipation gradually increase asthe time increases whereas the pounding energydissipation is only affected by each pounding andshows a ladder-type growth phenomenon as the timeincreases The friction energy dissipation poundingenergy dissipation and damping energy dissipationfor near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake are fargreater than far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquakeTo ensure that the structure continues to workproperly under some strong earthquakes the near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake affects the designprocess more for each part of the structure

(3) After considering the SSI the dynamic responses ofa sliding isolation liquid-storage structure with dif-ferent initial gaps for near-field Chi-Chi earthquakeare generally larger than far-field Imperial Valley-06earthquake 119892119901 has little effect on the liquid sloshingheight but the structural acceleration and impact

Shock and Vibration 13

force first increase and then decrease as 119892119901 increasesTherefore when designing a sliding isolation struc-ture it should be noted that a certain value of 119892119901 willresult in the maximum pounding dynamic responsesand the effectiveness of the isolation structure will beseriously affected

(4) Increasing the friction coefficient can reduce thepounding dynamic responses of the structure to acertain extent However when the friction coefficientis large this type of isolation structure will not slideso it will lose the designed shock absorption duringsome earthquakesTherefore the selection of the fric-tion coefficient of a sliding isolation structure shouldbe considered comprehensively and an intermediatevalue for the friction coefficient is ideal

(5) When the friction coefficient is small the initial gapgreatly affects the slippage of a sliding isolation liquid-storage structure When the initial gap is large thefriction coefficient greatly affects the slippage of thesliding isolation liquid-storage structure

Figure 10 Correlation effects of the friction coefficient and initial gap on the maximum horizontal displacement of the structure

liquid-storage structure is studied considering the SSI Thecalculated results are shown in Figure 10

As seen in Figure 10 the maximum horizontal displace-ment of the liquid-storage structure decreases as the frictioncoefficient increases and increases as the initial gap increasesoverall Under the near-field Chi-Chi earthquake when theinitial gap 119892119901 is small (010m and 012m) the frictioncoefficient has little effect on the maximum slippage of theliquid-storage structure because the maximum horizontaldisplacement of the liquid-storage structure with differentfriction coefficients can all reach119892119901 As119892119901 increases the effectof the friction coefficient on the slippage becomes obviousIn particular when 119892119901 is greater than or equal to 020 as thefriction coefficient increases the decreasing trend of slippageis evenmore significantWhen the friction coefficient is largethe slippage is small so 119892119901 has little effect on the slippageFor the far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake when thefriction coefficient is small (such as 008 or 010) the slippageincreases with increase of 119892119901 When the friction coefficientis greater than or equal to 012 the structure will not collidewith the moat wall so 119892119901 has no effect on the slippage

Based on the calculated results of Figure 10 if there isno surrounding moat wall the maximum slippage will begreater than 020m for the near-field Chi-Chi earthquakeand the maximum slippage will be smaller than 012m forthe far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake Therefore theamount of slippage for the structure experiencing near-fieldChi-Chi earthquake is significantly greater than the far-fieldImperial Valley-06 earthquake To avoid damage caused bylarge amounts of slippage to accessory pipelines of a slidingliquid-storage structure in the petroleum chemical industrya study of limiting measures for near-field pulse-like earth-quakes should receive great attention Meanwhile for near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake it is more necessary tostudy mitigation measures to reduce the pounding dynamicresponses

5 Conclusions

The SSI and the pounding possibility between a sliding isola-tion liquid-storage structure and its moat wall are considered

in this paper A simplified mechanical model of the slidingbase-isolated liquid-storage structure is established and thepounding dynamic responses of the system under the actionnear-field Chi-Chi earthquake and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake are studied The effects of the SSI initial gapand friction coefficient on the dynamic responses of a liquid-storage structure are discussed The main conclusions are asfollows

(1) The liquid sloshing height of a sliding isolation liquid-storage structure increases when the SSI is consideredbecause the SSI increases the period of the isolationstructure and the difference between the isolationperiod and liquid sloshing period becomes smallWhen the liquid-storage structure collides with themoat wall the structural dynamic responses due toa pulse phenomenon will appear but the structuralacceleration and impact force are reduced because ofthe buffer effect of the foundation

(2) The friction energy dissipation and pounding energydissipation of the system are reduced when the SSIis considered The friction energy dissipation anddamping energy dissipation gradually increase asthe time increases whereas the pounding energydissipation is only affected by each pounding andshows a ladder-type growth phenomenon as the timeincreases The friction energy dissipation poundingenergy dissipation and damping energy dissipationfor near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake are fargreater than far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquakeTo ensure that the structure continues to workproperly under some strong earthquakes the near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake affects the designprocess more for each part of the structure

(3) After considering the SSI the dynamic responses ofa sliding isolation liquid-storage structure with dif-ferent initial gaps for near-field Chi-Chi earthquakeare generally larger than far-field Imperial Valley-06earthquake 119892119901 has little effect on the liquid sloshingheight but the structural acceleration and impact

Shock and Vibration 13

force first increase and then decrease as 119892119901 increasesTherefore when designing a sliding isolation struc-ture it should be noted that a certain value of 119892119901 willresult in the maximum pounding dynamic responsesand the effectiveness of the isolation structure will beseriously affected

(4) Increasing the friction coefficient can reduce thepounding dynamic responses of the structure to acertain extent However when the friction coefficientis large this type of isolation structure will not slideso it will lose the designed shock absorption duringsome earthquakesTherefore the selection of the fric-tion coefficient of a sliding isolation structure shouldbe considered comprehensively and an intermediatevalue for the friction coefficient is ideal

(5) When the friction coefficient is small the initial gapgreatly affects the slippage of a sliding isolation liquid-storage structure When the initial gap is large thefriction coefficient greatly affects the slippage of thesliding isolation liquid-storage structure

Figure 10 Correlation effects of the friction coefficient and initial gap on the maximum horizontal displacement of the structure

liquid-storage structure is studied considering the SSI Thecalculated results are shown in Figure 10

As seen in Figure 10 the maximum horizontal displace-ment of the liquid-storage structure decreases as the frictioncoefficient increases and increases as the initial gap increasesoverall Under the near-field Chi-Chi earthquake when theinitial gap 119892119901 is small (010m and 012m) the frictioncoefficient has little effect on the maximum slippage of theliquid-storage structure because the maximum horizontaldisplacement of the liquid-storage structure with differentfriction coefficients can all reach119892119901 As119892119901 increases the effectof the friction coefficient on the slippage becomes obviousIn particular when 119892119901 is greater than or equal to 020 as thefriction coefficient increases the decreasing trend of slippageis evenmore significantWhen the friction coefficient is largethe slippage is small so 119892119901 has little effect on the slippageFor the far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake when thefriction coefficient is small (such as 008 or 010) the slippageincreases with increase of 119892119901 When the friction coefficientis greater than or equal to 012 the structure will not collidewith the moat wall so 119892119901 has no effect on the slippage

Based on the calculated results of Figure 10 if there isno surrounding moat wall the maximum slippage will begreater than 020m for the near-field Chi-Chi earthquakeand the maximum slippage will be smaller than 012m forthe far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake Therefore theamount of slippage for the structure experiencing near-fieldChi-Chi earthquake is significantly greater than the far-fieldImperial Valley-06 earthquake To avoid damage caused bylarge amounts of slippage to accessory pipelines of a slidingliquid-storage structure in the petroleum chemical industrya study of limiting measures for near-field pulse-like earth-quakes should receive great attention Meanwhile for near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake it is more necessary tostudy mitigation measures to reduce the pounding dynamicresponses

5 Conclusions

The SSI and the pounding possibility between a sliding isola-tion liquid-storage structure and its moat wall are considered

in this paper A simplified mechanical model of the slidingbase-isolated liquid-storage structure is established and thepounding dynamic responses of the system under the actionnear-field Chi-Chi earthquake and far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquake are studied The effects of the SSI initial gapand friction coefficient on the dynamic responses of a liquid-storage structure are discussed The main conclusions are asfollows

(1) The liquid sloshing height of a sliding isolation liquid-storage structure increases when the SSI is consideredbecause the SSI increases the period of the isolationstructure and the difference between the isolationperiod and liquid sloshing period becomes smallWhen the liquid-storage structure collides with themoat wall the structural dynamic responses due toa pulse phenomenon will appear but the structuralacceleration and impact force are reduced because ofthe buffer effect of the foundation

(2) The friction energy dissipation and pounding energydissipation of the system are reduced when the SSIis considered The friction energy dissipation anddamping energy dissipation gradually increase asthe time increases whereas the pounding energydissipation is only affected by each pounding andshows a ladder-type growth phenomenon as the timeincreases The friction energy dissipation poundingenergy dissipation and damping energy dissipationfor near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake are fargreater than far-field Imperial Valley-06 earthquakeTo ensure that the structure continues to workproperly under some strong earthquakes the near-field pulse-like Chi-Chi earthquake affects the designprocess more for each part of the structure

(3) After considering the SSI the dynamic responses ofa sliding isolation liquid-storage structure with dif-ferent initial gaps for near-field Chi-Chi earthquakeare generally larger than far-field Imperial Valley-06earthquake 119892119901 has little effect on the liquid sloshingheight but the structural acceleration and impact

Shock and Vibration 13

force first increase and then decrease as 119892119901 increasesTherefore when designing a sliding isolation struc-ture it should be noted that a certain value of 119892119901 willresult in the maximum pounding dynamic responsesand the effectiveness of the isolation structure will beseriously affected

(4) Increasing the friction coefficient can reduce thepounding dynamic responses of the structure to acertain extent However when the friction coefficientis large this type of isolation structure will not slideso it will lose the designed shock absorption duringsome earthquakesTherefore the selection of the fric-tion coefficient of a sliding isolation structure shouldbe considered comprehensively and an intermediatevalue for the friction coefficient is ideal

(5) When the friction coefficient is small the initial gapgreatly affects the slippage of a sliding isolation liquid-storage structure When the initial gap is large thefriction coefficient greatly affects the slippage of thesliding isolation liquid-storage structure

force first increase and then decrease as 119892119901 increasesTherefore when designing a sliding isolation struc-ture it should be noted that a certain value of 119892119901 willresult in the maximum pounding dynamic responsesand the effectiveness of the isolation structure will beseriously affected

(4) Increasing the friction coefficient can reduce thepounding dynamic responses of the structure to acertain extent However when the friction coefficientis large this type of isolation structure will not slideso it will lose the designed shock absorption duringsome earthquakesTherefore the selection of the fric-tion coefficient of a sliding isolation structure shouldbe considered comprehensively and an intermediatevalue for the friction coefficient is ideal

(5) When the friction coefficient is small the initial gapgreatly affects the slippage of a sliding isolation liquid-storage structure When the initial gap is large thefriction coefficient greatly affects the slippage of thesliding isolation liquid-storage structure
