Study of Hydrodynamic Pressure on Wall of Tank

Liquid-containing tanks are usedato store variety of liquids. This work considers the theoretical background of seismic response of liquid storage ground-supported tanks, i.e. hydrodynamic effect of fluid on solid wall of rectangular endlessly long tank fixed to rigid foundation. For numerical analysis of hydrodynamic pressure was used Finite Element Method (FEM) and as loading was considered as horizontal ground motion the accelerogram Loma Prieta was considered.
