Effects of Soil–Foundation–Structure Interaction on the Seismic Response and Isolation Performance of a Large LNG Storage Tank at a Non-Bedrock Site
When large liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage tanks are constructed on deep non-rock sites, soil–foundation–structure interaction (SFSI) alters the dynamic characteristics of the system and affects the actual control effectiveness of the isolation layer. However, the current understanding of the coupling mechanism bet...
