Sloshing of Liquids in Rigid Annular Cylindrical and Torus Tanks Due to Seismic Ground Motions

摘要

Sloshing response and impulsive hydrodynamic pressures in rigid axisymmetric tanks due to horizontal ground motions are predicted by theoretical solutions based on series and finite element analysis. Results are compared with experimental data from model tests conducted on a 20 ft x 20 ft earthquake simulator. (ERA citation 05:032216)
