TLDR
In this article, the fundamental impulsive modes of vibration of cylindrical tank-liquid systems anchored to the foundation under horizontal motion were investigated using a general purpose finite element (FE) program, and the influence of the hydrostatic pressure and the self-weight on the natural periods and modes was considered.About:

Fluid–structure interaction in partially filled liquid containers: A comparative review of numerical approaches
S. Rebouillat,D. Liksonov +1 more
TL;DR: The paper focuses in particular on the sloshing phenomenon and on the numerical approaches used to predict theSloshing wave amplitude, frequency, pressure exerted on the walls and the effect of sloshed on the stability in the container environment.

Parameters affecting the fundamental period of RC buildings with infill walls
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of selected parameters (i.e., building height, number of bays, ratio of area of shear walls to area of floor and ratio of infilled panels to total number of panels and type of frame) on the fundamental period of RC buildings were investigated.

Dynamic buckling of anchored steel tanks subjected to horizontal earthquake excitation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the critical horizontal peak ground acceleration (Critical PGA) which induces elastic buckling at the top of the cylindrical shell, for the impulsive hydrodynamic response of the tank-liquid system.

Uplifting Response of Unanchored Liquid-Storage Tanks
P. K. Malhotra,A. S. Veletsos +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the principal effects of base uplifting on the seismic response of laterally excited, unanchored, cylindrical liquid storage tanks are made. But the analysis is implemented by a procedure that is highly efficient and believed to adequately represent essential aspects of the problem, taking due account of continuously varying area of base contact and the nonlinearities associated with membrane action and plastic yielding in the base plate.
