Mekorot

Seismic surveys for Mekorot water facilities.

Carrying out several seismic surveys to examine the seismic behavior of several containers, installations, equipment (pumps, compressors, transformers, electrical panels, etc.) of the Mekorot company nationwide. The containers were analyzed according to Israeli standards as well as according to American standards. The analyzes included linear as well as advanced non-linear analyses. The tested failures are concrete failures, steel failures, sliding failure, overturning failure, failure of the anchor bolts, pipe disconnection and more (as the case may be). The survey gave an idea of the structural durability of the facilities/buildings.
