Response of endlessly long shipping channel due to earthquake

Abstract

Ground-supported tanks are used to store a variety of liquid. The fluid develops hydrodynamic pressure on walls and bottom of tank during an earthquake. This paper provides theoretical background for specification of impulsive and convective actions of fluid in rectangular endlessly long shopping channel container by using analytical methods. This article contains description of methods for solution of response of vertical containment with fluid on the soil, which is subject to horizontal seismic loads.
