A Study on the Sloshing Problem of Vertical Storage Tanks under the Action of Near-Fault Earthquakes

Figure 6

Comparison of simulated wave-height and test wave-height time history curves. (a) EL-Centro time history curve of the wave. (b) JM time history curve of the wave. (c) Taft time history curve of the wave. (d) Pasadena time history curve of the wave. Note. When the duration time of ground motion stopped, the storage fluid will turn into free vibration. The damping ratio of the storage fluid is 0.005. So there will be a attenuation trend after the shaking wave height of the storage fluid in the figure.
