Evaluation, performance and design of concrete liquid containing structures

混凝土含液结构（CLCS）广泛用于储存液体和类液体物质，包括水、油、液化天然气、化工流体和不同形式的废物。地面支撑的坦克由于其设计和构造简单，在使用中更为常见。此外，它们提供了更好的抗流体静力和地震载荷。这些结构被视为生命线设施，其功能性能在裂缝和泄漏控制方面具有重要意义。随着储罐数量和尺寸的增加，储罐的重要性和更好地了解其在不同负载条件下的行为的需求也在增加。

Concrete liquid containing structures (CLCS) are extensively used for the storage of liquid and liquid-like materials including, water, oil, liquefied natural gas, chemical fluids, and wastes of different forms. Ground-supported tanks are more common in use because of their simplicity in design and construction. In addition they provide better resistance against hydrostatic and earthquake loading. These structures are considered as lifeline facilities, and their functional performance in terms of crack and leakage control is of significance. As numbers and sizes of storage tanks have increased over the years, so have their importance and the need to better understand their behavior under different loading conditions.
