SAUDI ARABIA: SEISMIC CALCULATION OF GRP TANKS

[Gorostidi]

Hello

we are involved in a project in Saudi Arabia. They are tanks made in grp. we cannot find in the standards (SBC 301) any way to find the sesismic calculation of theM, they deal with steel and cocrete but not with grp. (GLASS REINFORCED POLYESTER). they are ad-hoc developed tanks and we want to avoid the vibration modes of them and find some other solution
we have solved this problem in about 20 countries, but this standard seems that do not have a solution for this

any previous experience?

thanks to all
