Theoretical and experimental investigations of the dynamic behaviour of ground‐supported, deformable, cylindrical liquid storage tanks were conducted. The study was carried out in three phases: (I) a detailed theoretical treatment of the coupled liquid‐shell system for tanks rigidly anchored to their foundations; (II) an experimental investigation of the dynamic characteristics of full‐scale tanks; and (III) a development of an improved seismic design procedure.
