The sloshing pressures on the side wall and on the top cover plate of a tank partially filled with liquid and rigidly mounted on a barge in irregular waves are investigated through physical model tests. The barge was allowed to oscillate freely in the combined degrees of excitation, i.e. sway, heave, and roll. Four liquid fill levels with aspect ratios hs/l (where hs is the static liquid depth and l is the tank length) of 0.163, 0.325, 0.488, and 0.585 are considered for the present study. The effect of peak wave excitation frequencies on the pressure variation is studied in detail, the results of which are herein reported. It is observed that the impact pressure on the top panel of the tank is about 1.6 times the pressure observed on the side wall.
