The present situation of the aseismic design of liquid storages and its points of issue are pointed out at first. The fundamental concepts of a systematization of the aseismic design of liquid storages are proposed based on these points of issue. The authors carried out a series of experiments and analyses to make clear the fundamental vibrational characteristics of liquid storages. An earthquake response observation of a cylindrical storage model of diameter 4.0 m and response analyses of sloshing of liquid in cylindrical and spherical storages are reported in this paper. The results are summed up into formula and nomogram which are convenient and available for the response calculation of sloshing of liquid in the aseismic design of liquid storages.
