ACI 350.3-06 is a critical standard for the seismic design of liquid-containing concrete structures. By understanding the provisions and requirements of this standard, engineers and designers can ensure the safety and integrity of these structures, reducing the risk of damage, collapse, and environmental hazards. As the demand for safe and resilient infrastructure continues to grow, the importance of ACI 350.3-06 will only continue to increase.

A 30-foot diameter circular water storage tank is being added to an existing water treatment plant. The tank has a liquid depth of 20 feet. The geotechnical report gives an allowable soil bearing pressure of 4,000 psf. The tank is designed as a non-prestressed, cast-in-place concrete structure. ACI-350.3-06.pdf

The ACI 350.3-06 standard covers various aspects of seismic design and detailing of liquid-containing structures, including: ACI 350

The "06" in the designation indicates the year of approval—2006. While newer revisions exist (such as ACI 350.3-20), the 2006 edition remains widely referenced in legacy projects, rehabilitation work, and jurisdictions that have not yet adopted the latest building codes. A 30-foot diameter circular water storage tank is

ACI 350.3-06 provides detailed seismic design and detailing requirements for various types of liquid-containing structures, including:

ACI 350.3-06 establishes the authoritative standard for the seismic design of liquid-containing concrete structures, outlining procedures to determine earthquake-induced hydrodynamic forces. The 61-page document details requirements for calculating impulsive and convective pressures to ensure the integrity of tanks, including specific guidelines for freeboard and structural analysis.
