265 Analysis of Sloshing in a Cylindrical Liquid Storage Tank with a Single Deck Floating Roof

Kazuhiro Kitamura, Shoichi Yoshida

Abstract

The 2003 Tokachi-Oki Earthquake caused severe damage to oil storage tanks due to liquid sloshing. This report present the method of sloshing calculation with single deck floating roof This method leads to solution of couple motion between floating roof and liquid. Analytical solution is a value close to the finite element method. As for a nonlinear effect, it is necessary to examine using new method.
