Abstract

A realistic analysis of containments, liquid-filled storage tanks, silos, and similar structures with rotational geometry should include the interaction effects between the structure and both the liquid and the ground. This is especially important for dynamic loading such as excitations caused by earthquakes or explosions that may cause damages in various parts of the structure [1].
