This study mainly focuses on obtaining the overturning moment-base rotation diagram of unanchored tanks. To this end, a method is introduced which is based on the uplift of tapered beams. Then after, the accuracy of the method is examined by the experimental investigation of a broad tank model. Finally, a simplified non-iterative method is introduced which can accurately predict the uplift response of unanchored tanks. 000009352 540__ $$aText je chráněný podle autorského zákona č. 121/2000 Sb. 000009352 653__ $$aUnanchored Tanks, Asymmetric uplifting, Tapered beams 000009352 7112_ $$a14th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering$$cBejing (CN)$$d2008-10-12 / 2008-10-17$$gWCEE15 000009352 720__ $$aAhari, Masoud.Nourali$$iEshghi, Sassan$$iAshtiany, Mohsen Ghafory 000009352 8560_ $$ffischerc@itam.cas.cz 000009352 8564_ $$s135537$$uhttps://invenio.itam.cas.cz/record/9352/files/05-01-0520.pdf$$yOriginal version of the author's contribution as presented on CD, Paper ID: 05-01-0520. 000009352 962__ $$r9324 000009352 980__ $$aPAPER
