ACI 350.3-06 establishes requirements for the seismic design of environmental concrete structures, using Housner’s model to analyze impulsive and convective liquid behavior. It outlines specific calculations for lateral forces, recommending the square-root-sum-of-the-squares (SRSS) method for combined seismic loading.

The most critical concept introduced by ACI 350.3-06 is the breakdown of the liquid mass into two distinct components during a seismic event. The standard utilizes the mechanical analogy originally developed by Housner and refined over decades: ACI-350.3-06.pdf
