Abstract
A study of the dynamic response of upright circular cylindrical liquid storage tanks containing two different liquids under a rocking base motion with an arbitrary temporal variation is presented. Only rigid tanks were studied. The response quantities examined include the hydrodynamic pressure, the sloshing wave height and associated frequencies, and the base shear and moments. Each of these response quantities is expressed as the sum of the so-called impulsive component and convective component. Unlike the case of tanks containing one liquid, in which the response is controlled by one parameter, the height-to-radius ratio, the response of tanks containing two different liquids is controlled by three parameters: the height-to-radius ratio and the mass density ratio and height ratio of the two liquids. The interrelationship of the responses of the tank-liquid system to rocking and lateral base excitations is established by examining numerical results extensively. It is found that some of the response quantities for a tank-liquid system under a rocking base motion can be determined from the corresponding response quantities for an identical tank under a horizontal base motion.
1. Introduction
Liquid storage tanks are important components of industrial facilities and, when located in earthquake-prone regions, should be designed to withstand the earthquakes to which they may be subjected. The dynamic response of liquid storage tanks subjected to earthquakes has been a subject of numerous studies in the past 30 years. For reviews o f the previous studies on responses of laterally, vertically and rocking-excited tank-liquid systems the reader is referred to the papers of Veletsos (1984), Veletsos and Tang (1986) and Veletsos and Tang (1987) respectively. Most of the previous studies were focused on the tank Elsevier ScienceS.A. SSDI 0029-5493(94)00699-Y
containing only one liquid. However, there are cases in which the density of the tank content is not uniform. For such cases the dynamic responses of tanks containing liquids with different densities must be studied. To respond to this need, Tang (1993a) presented a solution for the dynamic response of rigid tanks containing two liquids under a horizontal base motion. In that study, however, the effect of gravitation on the interface motion of the two liquids was neglected. It should be mentioned that this gravitational effect was later considered in the analysis and the findings are described in detail in an A N L / R E report (Tang, 1993b). The dynamic characteristics of flexible tanks containing two liquids were stud-

ied by Tang (1994) and a paper by Veletsos and Shivakumar (1983) dealt with the sloshing response of layered liquids in rigid tanks. All these studies are aimed at the understanding of the dynamic behavior of tanks containing two liquids under lateral base motions. This paper describes the dynamic response of tanks containing two liquids of different densities under rocking base motions. It should be noted that rocking base motion can occur in a ground-supported tank or in an elevated tank under earthquake motions. Owing to the flexibility of either the supporting soil or the supporting tower, the tank base will experience a rocking component of motion, even for a purely translational free-field motion. The objectives of this paper are (1) to present the exact solution for the dynamic response of tanks containing two liquids under rocking base motions, (2) to elucidate the interrelationship of the responses of a tank to rocking and lateral base motions and (3) to provide a foundation for the study of the soil-structure interaction analysis of tanks containing two liquids. The response functions examined are the hydrodynamic pressure, the sloshing motion and associated natural frequencies and the base shear and moments. How to utilize these response functions in tank design can be found in Valetsos (1984). In this paper each of these response functions is expressed as the sum of the so-called impulsive and convective components of the response. This division is necessary because it is essential to the approach used in Veletsos and Yang (1977), Veletsos and Tang (1989) and Tang (1994) for the analysis of flexible tanks. The impulsive component of the response represents the effects of the part of the liquid that moves in unison with the tank, whereas the convective component represents the effects of the part of the liquid that associates with the sloshing motion. In this paper the interrelationship of the responses of a tank containing two liquids under rocking base motion and horizontal base motion is established by examining numerical data of the response functions under the two base motions extensively. It is found, similarly to the case of the responses of tanks containing one liquid, that for tanks containing two liquids some of the response quantities may be evaluated from the existing data
for the same tank-liquid system under lateral excitations. Similarly to the response of tanks containing two liquids under horizontal base motions presented in Tang and Chang (1993b), a tank containing two liquids under a rocking base motion has two natural frequencies associated with each sloshing mode of vibration. These natural frequencies are the same as those for tanks in lateral excitation.
2. System description The tank-liquid system investigated is shown in Fig. 1. It is a ground-supported upright circular cylindrical tank of radius R that is filled with two liquids to a total height H. The lower portion liquid, identified as liquid I, has heavier mass density, p], and the upper portion liquid, identified as Liquid II, has lighter mass density, P2. The heights of liquids I and II are H~ and H2 respectively. The tank wall is assumed to be of uniform thickness and clamped to a rigid base. Both liquids are considered to be incompressible and inviscid. The response of the liquid is assumed to be linear.

Let r, 19and z, denote the radial, circumferential and vertical axial coordinates of a point in liquid I and let r, 8 and z2 be the corresponding coordinates for a point in liquid II as shown in Fig. 1. The origins of the two coordinate systems are on the central axis of the cylindrical tank. The base motion experienced by the tank is an angular acceleration, denoted by &(t), acting in the direction along the 0 = 90” coordinate axis. The temporal variation in &(t) can be arbitrary.
The boundary conditions for liquid II are as follows. (a) The radial acceleration along the tank wall is given by

It is clearly shown in Eq. (19) that the timewise variation in the impulsive pressure is the same as that of the base excitation. This indicates that the impulsive pressure is produced by a portion of liquid that moves in unison with the tank wall. The distributions of C[(z) for ~ =0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1 for a broad tank, H/R = 0.5, and a tall tank, H/R = 3, are shown in Fig. 2 for H2/H~ --0.5 and in Fig. 3 for H2/H~ = 2. Note that for o
a broad tank the impulsive pressure decreases monotonically from bottom to top, whereas for a tall tank the shape of the impulsive pressure distribution has a double curvature. The maximum value occurs at a point away from the bottom. These trends are in agreement with those presented in Veletsos and Tang (1987) for tanks containing one liquid undergoing rocking motion. The impulsive pressure decreases as the value of decreases. This reduction is more pronounced in all tanks and for larger values of Hz/H~.

in which Mn=plnR2Ht is the total mass of liquid I, 3'/12= p2nR2H2 is the total mass of liquid II and S~r and S[ I~ are dimensionless coefficients dependent on.the values of H/R, H2/HI and ct. In Eq. (23) the first term on the right-hand side is the base shear contributed from liquid I and the second term is that from liquid II. Since Eq. (22) involves only simple integrations of hyperbolic functions, the expressions for S[ r and S[ ~ are not given herein. The expression given by Eq. (23) has a physical meaning: it gives the volume ratio of each liquid that may be considered as added mass to the tank wall. However, to study the effect of two liquids on the total base shear, it is also desirable to have an expression that can be used for comparison with an identical tank that contains one liquid.

The relation defined by Eq. (28) may be explained by a generalization of Betti's principle stated in Veletsos and Tang (1987). In that paper the same relation as that defined by Eq. (28) is found for a tank containing one liquid under rocking motion. Numerical values for rgM and Ar[M have been given by Tang (1993a) and Tang and Chang (1992); therefore the value of r~ may be computed by direct application of Eq. (28).

in which AC~M is a dimensionless coefficient. The value of AC[~M is tabulated in column (5) of Tables 1 and 2. It is seen that the value of AC~M decreases rapidly as the value of H/R increases. For the reason identified earlier, Eq. (34) can also be expressed as

If the heightwise distribution of the convective component of the hydrodynamic pressure under lateral excitation is given by the function C~k(Z), then, following from the above argument, the convective pressure p¢r(z, O,t) under rocking can be expressed as

in which 7~ is a dimensionless proportionality factor that remains to be determined.
4.5. Convectivecomponent of base shear It is shown in Tang and Chang (1993b) that the convective base shear QC(t) for a tank-liquid system excited laterally is given by
(36)
The values of Ar~M are shown in Fig. 5. It can be seen that for a tall tank this moment is much smaller than for a broad tank. Note that in Fig. 5 the vertical scale for H/R = 1 is one-fifth of that for H/R = 0.5.
4.4. Convectivecomponent of hydrodynamic pressure The convective pressure exerted on the tank wall may be obtained by evaluating the pressures defined by Eqs. (11) and (12) at r=R. This approach is similar to that used in obtaining the impulsive pressure exerted on the tank wall presented above. However, in this paper a physically motivated approach is used to derive the convective pressure instead and the results obtained by the two approaches will be checked against each other. Since the natural modes of vibration and the natural frequencies of the sloshing motion in a tank-system are independent of the excitation

in which A~(t) is the instantaneous pseudoacceleration induced by a base acceleration J~(t) in an SDF system of circular natural frequency o~.k. A,k(t) is obtained from Eq. (13) by replacing 5/T(t) by J/(t). By application of the same analogy used in obtaining the convective pressure, Eq. (37), for the system in rocking motion from that for the system in lateral motion, one obtains the convective base shear for the system in rocking motion from Eqs. (38) as M I r, 1 1 L,,a,S~A,k(t))

Eqs. (42) and (43) are useful for providing information about the contribution of each liquid and Eqs. (44) and (45) are useful for comparing with the results of an identical tank filled with one liquid to assess the effect of two-liquid interaction. Applying the same analogy as that used in obtaining the convective components of the hydrodynamic pressure and base shear for the system in rocking motion from the corresponding results for the system excited laterally, one obtains from Eqs. (42) and (43) the expressions of
The surface sloshing wave height dr(r, O, t) of an arbitrary point on the liquid surface may be determined from
p~rlz:=n 2 = p2gd(r, O, t)

Substituting p~r and p~r in Eqs. (50) and (51) by Eqs. (11) and (12), one may obtain the expressions for d(r, 0, t) and r/(r, 0, t). The expressions for the maximum values of these two functions are obtained by evaluating d(r, 0, t) and ~/(r, 0, t) at r = R and 0 = 0. Alternatively, the expressions for these maximum values may be obtained as follows. If the expressions for computing these maximum values for the twoliquid-tank system excited laterally are given by

By noting that for a tank subjected to lateral and rocking base motions of the same timewise variations and for each mode of vibration of the sloshing motion in the tank the work done by the base shear for the tank in rocking motion through the displacement of the laterally excited tank is equal to the work done by the foundation moment for the laterally excited tank acting through the rotation of the tank in rocking motion, from Eqs. (41), (44) and (45) one obtains ?"*rS"*

5. Conclusions
The complete solutions for tanks containing two liquids under rocking excitation have been presented. Each dynamic response quantity is expressed as the sum of the impulsive and convective components so that the solutions presented may provide a rational basis for evaluating the effects of tank flexibility and soil-structure interaction. It is found that many response quantities for a tank in rocking motion may be evaluated from the corresponding response quantities for an identical tank excited laterally; in particular, all the convective components of the response quantities can be evaluated in such a way.
(56)
Therefore ~nk - -
results obtained by the two approaches confirm the accuracy. Extensive numerical data for a laterally excited tank containing two liquids are available in Tang and Chang (1993b). Also, because all the convective components of the response quantities for a tank in rocking motion can be computed from their counterparts for the laterally excited tank, no numerical results for the convective components of the response are presented herein.

With ~"* determined, all the convective components of the response quantities for the tank in rocking motion can be calculated. Note that the determination of ~"* from Eq. (57) requires only the results for the laterally excited tank; therefore there is no need to solve the governing equations and the boundary conditions to obtain the convective components of the response for the tank in rocking motion. However, in this paper, for the purpose of confirming the accuracy, the convective components of the response quantities are also computed from the convective pressures defined by Eqs. (11) and (12) which are obtained by directly solving the governing equations and the boundary conditions. The identical numerical
