3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is sloshing in the context of water tanks?
Think about how water behaves when shaken.
Define base shear.
Consider it as the pushing force acting from the ground.
What is sloshing in ground-supported water tanks?
Think about how water can behave when a tank shakes.
Base shear is calculated as which of the following?
Remember that it's related to the forces acting on the tank's base.
Design a ground-supported water tank for a seismic zone with a base shear of 100 kN. What considerations must you factor in during the design?
Reference your understanding of seismic design principles.
Given a tank with a height of 5m and a diameter of 3m, calculate the maximum slosh height during a quake with a peak ground acceleration of 0.3g.
Look for common empirical models used for slosh calculations.
