to generate responses shown in Figures 6.3 to 6.5, the amplified ground
motion pushes the tank displacement into the nonlinear range quickly and
for a longer time. However, in Figure 6.6, the peaks seem to occur at the
same place in the time domain for all heights of the tank, which is quite
obvious, as the accelerogram, though amplified, does not have any change
in its frequency content.
