Abstract

The paper presents ground motion analysis and earthquake safety criteria for a petroleum storage tank on a slope in the Marmara Region of Turkey. A probabilistic assessment of the earthquake hazard for 50 and 2 % probability of exceedance in 50 years was conducted. Ground motions (using stochastic Green’s function procedure) and stability of the present sliding surfaces were analysed numerically. Permanent displacements associated with a 7.4 magnitude earthquake were computed using the Newmark’s sliding block approach.
