Dynamic Analysis of Liquid Storage Cylindrical Tanks due to Earthquake

Kamila Kotrasová, Ivan Grajciar

Abstract

Ground-supported tanks are used to store a variety of liquids. This paper provides theoretical background of seismic design of liquid storage ground-supported circular tanks. During earthquake activity the liquid exerts impulsive and convective (sloshing) actions on the walls and bottom of the circular tank. Seismic response was calculated by using the seismic response spectrum. Knowledge of these inner forces is important for design of reservoirs.
