Authors
abstract
large capacity cylindrical tanks are used to store a variety of liquids. their satisfactoryperformance during earthquake is crucial for modern facilities. in present paper, the behavior of cylindricalconcrete tanks under harmonic excitation is studied using the finite element method. liquid sloshing, liquidviscosity and wall flexibility are considered and additionally excitation frequency, liquid level and tankgeometry is investigated. the results show a value for wall thickness to tank diameter ratio which may be usedas a guide in the consideration of wall flexibility effects.

Fluid damping of cylindrical liquid storage tanks
A method is proposed in order to calculate the damping effects of viscous fluids in liquid storage tanks subjected to earthquakes. The potential equation of an ideal fluid can satisfy only the boundary conditions normal to the surface of the liquid. To satisfy also the tangential interaction conditions between liquid and tank wall and tank bottom, the potential flow is superimposed by a one-dim...
