Hi y'all. First time posting a thread, please forgive me if I'm doing something wrong 
I'm designing a structure that supports a tank used for transferring material (it moves on crawlers) from a crusher to a storage area. The structure has dimensions of 3.5x3.5 meters, and the tank base is positioned about 6.6 meters above the ground. My main concern is resisting the large overturning moments caused by sloshing during an earthquake. Specifically, I'm looking for effective ways to anchor the structure to the ground (temporarily, as the structure will need to move around) to counteract these forces. I've considered using chains to secure the columns, but I'm hoping to find a more aesthetically pleasing and efficient solution. Any insights or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
