Seismic tank - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki A seismic tank, or seismic charge minelayer, was a repulsorcraft that traveled very close to the surface of a planet and inflicted damage to an opposing force by ejecting a large piston downward on to it, smashing them, and then creating a shockwave that rippled away from its impact zone. The seismic tank was used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems in the Battle of Dantooine, where Jedi Master Mace Windu single-handedly took down a seismic tank during the battle. A seismic tank's seismic driver is fired during the Battle of Dantooine. starwars.wikia.com /wiki/Seismic_tank   (205 words)

Star Wars: Databank | seismic tank Legally speaking, the seismic tank developed by Haor Chall Engineering is a mining vehicle, and that's how the Commerce Guild and others were able to justify its use. Its name is derived from the huge seismic driver contained in the core of the tank. The repulsorfields are designed not to envelop the seismic driver itself, so as to ensure that its full gravitic force is intact upon impact. www.starwars.com /databank/vehicle/seismictank/index.html   (336 words)

WINE BUSINESS MONTHLY Tanks on stands are mentioned in the 1970 Uniform Building Code but this was usually applied to elevated water towers only and much thicker tank walls were used. Tanks are designed for two basic loading conditions: "full of wine at rest" and "full of wine during an earthquake." The first case is fairly easy to comply with and verify, the second is more difficult and is tested only occasionally. Tanks can also bedesigned integrally (as one piece) with the stand; if the legs are short and the connections at the beams and/or tank reinforcing is sufficient, diagonal braces can be omitted in some cases. www.winebusiness.com /html/MonthlyArticle.cfm?dataId=32887   (1858 words)

Thesis Abstracts From 1984-1986 The amplitude of a seismic signal reflected from a planar reflector in the subsurface of the earth depends upon 6 quantities. It was also found that the resolution of the velocities is diminished due to ray-bending and to a term in the equation of the ART that constrains velocity estimates in a cell to converge on the average velocities of the raypaths that intersect the cell. The 1973 seismic data had poor resolution of reflectors, due to the geophysical instrumentation and variables used in acquisition and processing, and the geology of the region. www.agl.uh.edu /publications/theses/AGLTheses8684s.html   (8859 words)

[No title] Seismic damage to underground piping systems has been caused by fault displacements, landslides, liquefaction of sandy soils and associated lateral spreading and earthquake-induced settlements, differences in dynamic properties of two horizontally adjacent soil layers, and ground strains associated with traveling seismic waves. Seismic failure modes of buried pipelines in liquefiable zones were found to be pull-out, breaking, buckling, and crushing (Yeh and Wang, 1985). In the API standard, the specified seismic coefficient is multiplied by an importance factor to obtain an effective seismic coefficient, whereas in the AWWA standard, the effective seismic coefficient is determined by multiplying a set coefficient by a "structure coefficient" which is different for anchored and unanchored tanks. www.fema.gov /plan/prevent/earthquake/txt/fema-233.txt   (20177 words)

Parametric Study of Seismic Soil-Tank Interaction. I: Horizontal Excitation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) Dynamic soil-tank interaction under horizontal seismic excitations has a profound effect on the amplification of hydrodynamic forces and moments exerted on tank structure. Analytical mechanical models for flexible cylindrical tanks, which also account for the effect of rigid-base rocking motion and lateral translation, are used with a lumped-parameters idealization of foundation soil. A comprehensive parametric analysis is conducted to study the effects and relative importance of a few factors influencing the seismic response of tank-liquid-soil systems. www.pubs.asce.org /WWWdisplay.cgi?9200612   (128 words)

AmericanLifelinesAlliance - New Guidelines A key reason for this deficiency in practice was determined to be the absence of adequate seismic design requirements in existing standards for the design and installation of water pipelines. Revisions to the seismic design requirements for API and AWWA aboveground steel storage tanks are expected to be incorporated into the current standard revision cycle. The ALA project scope included development of a seismic qualification standard, to be submitted to the ASME for consideration as the basis for a B31 standard. www.americanlifelinesalliance.org /Products.htm   (1643 words)

[No title] Summary: WSRC appears to be aggressively pursuing startup of the In- Tank Precipitation Facility, currently scheduled for December 1994. Operating hazards at the facility are increased above those inherent to the SRS Tank Farms' tanks due to benzene generation caused by the radiolytic decomposition of tetraphenylborate salts. The Tank Seismic Expert Panel (TSEP) has expressed concern that the Evaluation Basis Earthquake (EBE) used by WSRC is unconservative based on the facility's classification as "High Hazard." As of September 20, DOE EM-343 personnel indicated that they are considering developing and using a deterministically-based EBE. www.dnfsb.gov /pub_docs/srs/sir_19940807_sr.txt   (1575 words)

Star Wars battle: Battle of Dantooine - Sean Hannity Discussion However, the battle was suddenly turned upside down with the arrival of the deadly seismic tank. The tank used its large seismic driver - once used in peace-time for mining operations - to blast a huge swath through the clone trooper ranks, either crushing them outright or sending soldiers flying from the shockwave. Leaping clear, Mace watched on as the seismic tank smashed into the ground and exploded. www.hannity.com /forum/showthread.php?t=30484   (384 words)
