In technical branches, such as chemical or petroleum industries, cylindrical steel tanks are essential structures used for storage of liquid products. Any failure might have disastrous consequences, therefore their safety and reliability is essential. The aim of the present paper is to show the results of the experimental study which has been conducted on a scaled model of a real tank used in Poland. The investigation was carried out using the shaking table. The study included impact tests with modal analysis and harmonic tests of dynamic properties. The influence of liquid level on the natural vibration modes and natural frequencies has been investigated. The results of the study indicate that stored product may significantly influence the values of dynamic parameters.
