Abstract (EN): Cylindrical metallic storage tanks are widely used structures in the field of civil engineering; these installations are particularly used in industry where they are used to store all kinds of products - most of them are toxic or flammable. The tanks are also used for municipal purposes for the storage of drinking water. In earthquakes, these structures must be preserved in order to avoid losing their precious contents, causing reactions that can cause more damage that the earthquake itself.. In order to check the sloshing of the liquid, a study was carried out to demonstrate the effect of reinforcement beams for different positioning and different inertia of the beams. For numerical calculations, the ANSYS v11.0 software was used.
