Ponts et charpentes Résumé : In this study, the finite-element method is used to investigate the seismic behavior of rectangular liquid tanks in two-dimensional space. This method is capable of considering both impulsive and convective responses of liquid-tank system. Two different finite-element models corresponding with shallow and tall tank configurations are studied under the effects of both horizontal and vertical ground motions using the scaled earthquake components of the 1940 El-Centro earthquake record. The containers are assumed fixed to the rigid ground. Fluid-structure interaction effects on the dynamic response of fluid containers are taken into account incorporating wall flexibility. The results show that the wall flexibility and fluid damping properties have a major effect on seismic behavior of liquid tanks and should be considered in design criteria of tanks. The effect of vertical acceleration on the dynamic response of the liquid tanks is found to be less significant when horizontal and vertical ground motions are considered together. The results in this study are verified and compared with those obtained by numerical methods and other available methods in the literature.
