Abstract: With few exceptions, current seismic design codes for ground‐based cylindrical tanks neglect the effect of vertical ground acceleration. Such motion can be transmitted, in a flexible tank, into radial pulsations of the ...

Abstract: An analytical method for the computation of the axisymmetrical dynamic characteristics of partly‐filled cylindrical tanks is presented. The liquid is assumed to be inviscid and incompressible. The tank shell is assumed to ...
