maximum slosh wave height

Dear sir/madam,
i have to check the maximum slosh wave height, for a cylindrical tank. Can you help me apply the formula 0,84RSe (Tc1 )/ g of Eurocode 8? I am not sure how to find Se (Tc1 ).
It's a tank with radius R=3,6m, Height of tank 8,6 (8 m max level liquid). a=0,16g (horizontal acceleration), H/R=2,22, Ci=6,33, Cc=1,48, mi/m=0,786, mc=0,214m, its full of water. If you need any parameter to help me tell me. Ground type C.
Coefficient for structure importance γI=1,0.

-Refer to definitions at EC 8 Part 4: Silos, tanks and pipelines..

- Copy und past of A.2.1.4 Height of the convective wave

dmax =0,84RSe (Tc1 )/ g

R= Radius of the tank

Se (Tc1) = Elastic response spectral acceleration at the 1st convective mode of the fluid
for damping a value appropriate for the sloshing response and g is the acceleration of gravity. ( 0.5% damping may be used )

For convective /sloshing period calculation; refer to formula (A.36)

Tc1=Cc SQRT ( R)

Does this post respond your question ? If not, provide tank and spectrum data for more detailed responses..

Have you looked into the Flow chart A.4, it clearly describes how to find a height of the convective wave.

Thank you my friends! I am very grateful!
The following is a pdf that i have to check. To be specific, in page 5 (of 12) it uses a weird acceleration Ac1(t)=1,25 to calculate the wave that i can't find how was calculated! It must be something very simple that i can't think of!

I can provide you with my calculations excel too (i try to reverse engineer and check this pdf, it's not fully ready yet), but i don't know how to send that to you in a message, so i have a wetransfer link with this temporary password: eng-tips

I looked page 5 , which is Ac1(t)=1,25..

I reviewed the calculation with the data provided,

- R=3,6m, Height of tank 8,6 (8 m max level liquid). a=0,16g (horizontal acceleration), H/R=2,22, Ci=6,33, Cc=1,48 so , Tc=1.48* SQRT(3.6)= 2.81 sec

- Tc= 2.81 > Td=2.0 sec ( 4.th zone of the spectrum )

Se(T)= 0.16*g*S*η*2.5*(Tc*Td/T^2) = 0.16*9.81*1.15*1.5*2.5*(0.6*2.0/2.8^2)=1.04 m/s2

I personally thank you so much! I agree with you, and your calculations! How can i send you personal thank you in this site? Thank you HTURKAK, thank you bkal too! Greetings from Greece
