This article is about the plastic deformation of cylindrical steel storage tank. Finite Element Method analysiswas performed via Explicit Dynamic analysis tool of ANSYS Workbench software. A Lagrangian mesh was used for thetank body, and a Eulerian mesh technique was used for the water in the tank. One second acceleration values of Kocaeliand El-Centro earthquake were used as a displacement record. Maximum total deformation was 5.453 m under theKocalei earthquake and it was 2,464 m under the El-Centro earthquake. By means of explicit dynamic analysis with twodifferent seismic recordings, buckling shapes very close to real buckling were obtained. This study is a reference fordetermined plastic deformation risk of cylindrical steel tanks
