Seismic Design and Analysis of Tanks 1st Edition

Seismic Design and Analysis of Tanks (1st Edition) by Gian Michele Calvi and Roberto Nascimbene is an essential, practice-focused guide for engineers, researchers and advanced students working in earthquake-prone regions. Combining rigorous theory with real-world examples, this book dissects the unique challenges of tank behavior under seismic loading and shows how to design, assess and retrofit storage tanks for safety and resilience.

You’ll find clear explanations of fluid-structure interaction, dynamic response of slender and broad tanks, modelling strategies, code-based and performance-based approaches, and contemporary analysis techniques. The authors bridge fundamentals and applied practice—covering simplified methods for quick checks as well as advanced numerical procedures for complex cases—making it invaluable for projects in California, Japan, Italy, Turkey, Chile and other seismic zones.

What sets this edition apart is its balanced mix of engineering insight and actionable guidance: step-by-step design workflows, discussion of common failure modes, and practical recommendations for seismic detailing and mitigation. Whether you’re designing new tanks, evaluating existing assets, or developing seismic risk plans, the book equips you with the tools to reduce downtime, limit environmental hazards and meet regulatory expectations.

A must-have reference for structural and geotechnical engineers, consultants, and infrastructure managers seeking authoritative, up-to-date coverage of tank seismic performance.
