Liquid containing tanks are very common civil engineering systems used chiefly for storage purposes. Very often, the tank is placed atop a primary structure and contains considerable amount of liquid mass, sufficient for designing the tank to function as an inertia-based supplemental damping device for the primary structure under lateral excitation. However, due to low inherent energy dissipation capacity and a high proportion of impulsive liquid mass, the proper utilization of deep tanks as dynamic vibration absorbers (DVAs) has not taken place. It thereby requires special attention and innovative design modifications. In this paper, the characteristics of liquid motion in a laterally excited deep tank are first analyzed to explain its inadequate inherent damping. A state-of-the-art review of existing literature on the special design of deep tanks as DVAs is then carried out. A brief comparative performance study on a deep tank, with and without baffles, and a shallow tank, as well as a cost analysis of a deep liquid-containing tank as a DVA for structures, are presented. It is seen that available deep tanks fitted with flow damping devices have the potential to serve as very effective and economical structural vibration control devices. The means to further enhance the effectiveness of deep tanks is also identified.

储液罐是非常常见的土木工程系统，主要用于存储目的。通常，储罐放置在主要结构的顶部并包含大量液体质量，足以将储罐设计为在横向激励下用作主要结构的基于惯性的补充阻尼装置。然而，由于固有的能量耗散能力低和脉冲液体质量的比例高，深罐作为动态减振器（DVA）的适当利用尚未发生。因此，它需要特别注意和创新的设计修改。在本文中，首先分析了横向激励深槽中液体运动的特性，以解释其固有阻尼不足。然后对有关深舱作为 DVA 的特殊设计的现有文献进行了最先进的审查。介绍了对带和不带挡板的深罐和浅罐的简要性能比较研究，以及作为结构 DVA 的深液罐的成本分析。可以看出，配备有流动阻尼装置的可用深罐有可能作为非常有效和经济的结构振动控制装置。还确定了进一步提高深水舱有效性的方法。可以看出，配备有流动阻尼装置的可用深罐有可能作为非常有效和经济的结构振动控制装置。还确定了进一步提高深水舱有效性的方法。可以看出，配备有流动阻尼装置的可用深罐有可能作为非常有效和经济的结构振动控制装置。还确定了进一步提高深水舱有效性的方法。
