Abstract
Earthquakes in the western United states, that occurred in the 1940's and early 1950's, while not being as severe as can reasonably be expected to occur, have provided the first tests of many structures specifically designed to resist earthquake forces. Engineering studies of these shocks have provided valuable data.
Research has provided methods of estimating stresses in simple structures due to actual earthquake motion. A method of analysis is examined wherein minor damage to elevated water tank towers and refinery vessels can be satisfactorily explained.
