Citizen Think Tanks: co-designing post-pandemic housing futures

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Anna Pagani, Valentin Daniel Maurice Bourdon, Livia Bianca Fritz

During the first wave of COVID-19, Swiss residents found themselves spending most of their time in homes unable to accommodate the needs hitherto met by cities. While scholars and practitioners have proposed strategies to mitigate the effects of housing de ...

Stabilization of the linearized water tank system

Shengquan Xiang

In this article we study the so-called water tank system. In this system, the behavior of water contained in a 1-D tank is modelled by Saint-Venant equations, with a scalar distributed control. It is well-known that the linearized systems around uniform st ...

Uplift mechanics of unanchored liquid storage tanks subjected to lateral earthquake loading

Konstantinos Bakalis

Motivated by the seismic response of unanchored liquid storage tanks, their uplift mechanism under strong lateral loading is examined. Using three-dimensional finite element models, nonlinear static analysis is conducted to define the moment-rotation relat ...

Cyclic demand at the shell-bottom connection of unanchored steel tanks

Alain Nussbaumer, Gary Scott Prinz, Gustavo Cortes

Gasoline and other oil byproducts are commonly stored in steel tanks that rest on ground without any anchorage. Under strong motion, the impulsive mass of the contained liquid generates a moment about the base of the tank capable of causing partial uplift ...

Experimental Study on the Seismic Behavior of Shell-Base Connections in Large Storage Tanks

Alain Nussbaumer, Gustavo Cortes

When an unanchored tank is subjected to strong motion, the impulsive mass of the contained liquid generates a moment which if strong enough could cause partial uplifting of the base plate. As the tank undergoes uplifting, the shell-base welded connection i ...

Experimental Determination of the Capacity of Wall-to-Base Connections in Storage Tanks

Alain Nussbaumer, Gustavo Cortes, Eric Lattion

Earthquakes around the world have affected many unanchored tanks used for storage of gasoline. When these unanchored tanks are subjected to strong motion, the moment generated at the base, by the mass of liquid contained in the tank, will cause partial upl ...

Seismic Behavior of Shell-Base Connections in Large Storage Tanks

Alain Nussbaumer, Gustavo Cortes

Unanchored steel tanks subjected to strong ground motion may experience rocking motion if the moment generated by the inertial mass of the content stored is greater than the resisting moment provided by the weight of the tank and its content. Rocking of th ...

Sizing of a Supercapacitive Tank: Finite Elements Thermal Modelling

Alfred Rufer, Philippe Barrade

The sizing process of a supercapacitive tank is today a well-known procedure. It enables the identification of the number of cells needed to match energy requirements. In some cases, this number must be increased, in order to match the power needs of the a ...

Series Connection of Supercapacitors: Comparative Study of Solutions for the Active equalization of the Voltages

Philippe Barrade

Because of their low voltage level, supercapacitors need arrangement with series connection in order to obtain voltage levels from few dozen to few hunderd of volts. As for batteries, devices have then to be defined to balance the voltages across each seri ...
