Today, in the world practice of earthquake-resistant construction, there is a fairly large amount of information about the destruction of reservoirs for storing oil and gas products. To protect such structures abroad, it is proposed to use special means of seismic protection, which make it possible to reduce the destruction of tank structures and preserve the fuel stored in them. However, on the territory of Russia, these methods of seismic protection have not yet become widespread. This report presents research on the application of seismic isolation of reservoirs for oil and gas products in seismically active regions. Used Books:
