ABSTRACT:
Doughnut-shaped damping unit comprising a pair of ring-shaped rigid members adhered to either side of a ring-shaped viscoelastic layer. One of the rigid members is adapted to be fixed to the lowermost portion of a spherical storage tank and the other is adapted to be anchored to the earth. When an earth tremor produces lateral movement of the tank, the viscoelastic layer provides damping, tending to prevent the tank from breaking away from its framework.
