Vibration control of steel liquid storage tanks equipped with Inerter-based isolation systems
Base isolation represents a very widely used strategy to mitigate the effects of earthquake excitation on structures. However, it can induce high displacements between the isolation
layer and the ground, which may cause serious damage, and even heavy and dangerous consequences in case of industrial components. Among them, big steel tanks for storage of petroleum
or other chemical products, should be considered very carefully. Moreover, isolation technique
