We are conducting electrical connectivity testing on a bolted steel water tank to ensure that the tank is isolated for cathodic protection. The tank has a base ring embedded into a concrete base slab.
Does anyone know what the electrical resistance of concrete is?

I believe you are correct that the sloshing (convective) forces will be relatively small (unless you have wave impact loading).
However I would include an impulsive added fluid mass component. Newmark estimated these forces as the mass of water displaced by the tube. For your tube...
