Abstract: Ground-supported tanks are used to store a variety of liquids. During earthquake activity the liquid exerts impulsive and convective pressures (sloshing) on the walls and bottom of the rectangular tank. This paper provides theoretical background for calculating of hydrodynamic pressures developed during an earthquake in rectangular container - endlessly long shipping channel. Analytical diagrams of hydrodynamics pressures, eq. (5), (12) and (14) are used for computing of hydrodynamic pressures on the wall of the rectangular tank. The problem was is numerically modelled by using FEM formulation in software CosmosM.
Keywords: earthquake, rectangular tank, impulsive pressures, convective pressures, finite element method
