A finite element anaylysis to predict the sloshing dislacements and hydrodynamic pressures in liquid‐filled tanks subjected to earthquake ground motions is presented. Finite element equations were derived using the Galerkin formulation, and the predicted results were checked against the test data, showing a good agreement between the test and finite element results.
