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.

The design philosophy of ACI 350.3-06 is based on the concept of ductility, which allows structures to absorb seismic energy through inelastic deformations. The standard encourages designers to use a performance-based approach, where the structure is designed to achieve a specific level of performance under different levels of seismic hazard.
