Dynamic response analysis of cylindrical steel reinforced concrete tank in Boukidan city of Morocco subjected to earthquake loading.

The paper deals with dynamic response of cylindrical steel reinforced concrete tank subjected to earthquake loading. When a tank containing liquid vibrates, the fluid filling exerts additional hydrodynamic pressure together with hydrostatic pressure on solid domain of the tank. Dynamic analysis of a liquid–filled tank can be done using the concept of generalized single – degree – of freedom (SDOF) systems representing impulsive and convective modes of vibration of the tank – liquid system. The dynamic response of cylindrical tank subjected to earthquake loading are total base shears, total bending moment and total overturning moment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
