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 ...

Determination of variables influencing the effectiveness of disinfection of surface water used for human consumption in Costa Rica

Clara Barret

Disinfection of water for human consumption is a challenge to ensure that water is free of pathogens and pollutants while avoiding the formation of potentially harmful undesirable products. The establishment of disinfection facilities must take into accoun ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
