Thesis Abstract:
Circular, flexible cylindrical liquid storage tanks, often made of steel or aluminum, are typically built on-grade for economic reasons. Accurate estimation of seismic lateral forces transferred through the tank shell and supports is crucial for safe design. Unlike regular structures, these tanks exhibit complex nonlinear behaviors such as hydrodynamic pressure distribution, wall buckling, and soil-structure interaction, which are further influenced by soft underlying soils causing rocking motion.
Analytical solutions are challenging due to the combined effects of soil-structure and fluid-structure interactions, nonlinear sloshing, material yielding, and buckling. Finite element analysis is therefore employed for precise modeling. Most previous studies assume rigid ground, neglecting the influence of the soil-foundation system.
This research evaluates the seismic performance of liquid tanks considering fluid-structure-soil interaction, utilizing ABAQUS with ALE fluid FE approximation and absorbing boundary conditions. The study analyzes seven earthquake records, applied in three directions, across three different soil types, with variations in liquid height. Results indicate that soft soils significantly influence tank behavior, notably increasing base shear and overturning moments during seismic events.
Developing a Risk-Based Model for Analyzing the Impacts of Uncertainties on Project Time and Cost in the Bidding Stage
Construction projects are inherently complex, involving numerous stakeholders, significant costs, and risks that influence activity durations and budgets from planning through execution. Risks often interact, which complicates accurate prediction of project timelines and costs—especially at the bidding stage. Existing risk analysis models usually rely on extensive historical data, often unavailable in developing countries like Iran, leading contractors to depend on expert judgment. Of particular concern is the risk of delayed or non-payment, which is a major factor in project delays and cost overruns in such contexts but is rarely incorporated into traditional cash flow models.
This research develops a systematic, risk-based framework for contractors to assess how various uncertainties affect project time, cost, financing, and working capital during bidding. The method emphasizes minimal dependence on historical data, accounts for risk correlations, and explicitly considers the impact of delayed payments on cash flows. Built upon the NETCOR model—an uncertainty management framework—the proposed approach overcomes its limitations by incorporating risk correlations and generating probabilistic outcome distributions for project performance. Validation involved application to real project data in Iran, including a prior simulation, three completed projects, and a five-year construction of the Qom-Garmsar freeway. Results confirmed the model’s accuracy and its capacity to support more reliable, risk-informed bidding decisions, addressing key shortcomings of previous models.
