Abstract
ⶠThe seismic response of liquid storage tanks isolated by the DVFPI is investigated. ⶠFour DVFPI design cases are considered by varying properties of the both surfaces. ⶠCriterion to optimize its performance is proposed based on minimum responses. ⶠDifferent stiffness of top and bottom surfaces optimizes the DVFPI for a slender tank. ⶠEqual stiffness of top and bottom surfaces optimizes the DVFPI for a broad tank.
