    The seismic performance of storage tanks is a matter of special importance, extending beyond the economic value of the tanks and contents. This has led to attention of many researchers due to the seismic behavior of tanks buried in the soil. Because of the interaction between soil and structure during an earthquake, dynamic analysis of such structures is very important that must be considered. In this paper, according to the interaction effect of soils and structures, under the time history record, seismic behavior of concrete cubic buried tanks has been analyzed using the finite element software ABAQUS. In this process circular and cubic tanks have been studied and the impact of changes in parameters such as earthquake and quantity of water in tanks on pressure on tank's wall has been studied
