Combination of foundation anchor and energy damper for vertical liquid storage tanks, vertical pressure container, silo or the like with a thin wall and a continuous support

A combination of foundation anchor and energy damper for a thin-walled and continuous support structure supported on foundations, wherein the combination comprises:

• a foundation anchor component;
• an energy dissipation component;
• a linking component;
• and
• a load transmission component;
• wherein the energy dissipation component is centrally attached to the foundation anchor component by the linking component and wherein the energy dissipation component is constituted by one or more superimposed and horizontally arranged energy dissipating plates having a trapezoidal shape as formed by two parallel sides, a shorter one and a longer one, two other sides that are not parallel and four vertices where the parallel sides meet the non-parallel sides, the vertices of the longer parallel side with the non-parallel sides defining lateral ends of the energy dissipating plates, wherein the one or more energy dissipating plates are disposed in a manner such that the longer parallel side of the trapezoidal shape is tangent to the thin-wall, wherein the lateral ends have quadrangular extensions for support on the load transmission component, which is attached to the thin-wall so as to transmit and distribute forces developed by the energy dissipating plate or plates to the thin-wall.
