Example Storage Tank Concrete

This document summarizes the calculation of seismic loads on a rectangular reinforced concrete liquid storage tank according to ACI 350.3-06. It provides details on determining the equivalent seismic weights, heights of mass centers, fundamental periods of vibration, lateral forces, base shear, and dynamic force distributions for the impulsive and convective components in both plan and elevation. The total seismic force is then calculated and adjusted based on the design method before concluding.
