ACI 350.3-06, "Seismic Design of Liquid-Containing Concrete Structures and Commentary," provides specific procedures for the analysis and design of environmental concrete structures to withstand seismic events. The standard addresses unique liquid-containing structure (LCS) challenges by calculating impulsive and convective mass components to prevent structural failures, such as shell buckling or roof damage from sloshing.

ACI 350.3-06 establishes the industry standard for the seismic design of liquid-containing concrete structures, defining procedures for calculating impulsive and convective (sloshing) hydrodynamic forces. The standard provides technical guidelines for designing both circular and rectangular concrete tanks to ensure stability during seismic events.
