Seismic Responses
Impulsive spectral acceleration with 2% damping ratio
Se(Timp) = 0.223 g
Convective spectral acceleration with 0.5% damping ratio
Se(Tcon) = 0.025 g
The total base shear
Q = (mi + mw + mr)Se(Timp) + mcSe(Tcon) = 9602 kN
The overturning moment above the base plate
M = (mihi + mwhw + mrhr)Se(Timp) + mchcSe(Tcon) = 79325 kNm
The overturning moment below the base plate
M = (mihi' + mwhw + mrhr)Se(Timp) + mchc'Se(Tcon) = 92256 kNm
Sloshing height
d = 0.84RSe(Tcon)/g = 0.21 m
