Abstract

Outer tank concretes of LNG storage tank are composed of prestressed concrete structures that act as a protective wall. The danger such as the collapse of structures will exist if concrete structures is not secured due to the deterioration. Concrete compressive strength directly related to the safety of structures can be predicted by using estimation equation of compressive strength through rebound hardness test and ultrasonic wave velocity method. But, there is no the estimation equation of LNG storage tank for a relation between NDT data and real strength. In this study, to obtain more accurate real strengths for LNG storage tank, core specimens were sampled from walls of pilot LNG storage tank. The rebound hardness test of general NDT for concrete structures was carried out at each 3 positions for the four areas. The compressive strength estimation equation of LNG storage tank was developed by using the data for rebound hardness test of pilot LNG storage tank and compressive strength test of sampled concrete cores.

LNG 저장탱크의 외조 콘크리트는 방호벽 기능을 하는 프리스트레스 콘크리트 구조물이다. 콘크리트 구조물이 열화가 되어 안전성이 확보되지 않는 경우 구조물 붕괴 등의 위험성이 존재하게 된다. 정밀안전진단시 비파괴검사로 반발경도 및 초음파 속도 측정을 통해 구조물의 안전성과 직접적으로 관련되어 있는 콘크리트 압축강도를 추정식으로 예측할 수 있다. 그러나, LNG 저장탱크는 비파괴검사 데이터와 실제 압축강도에 대한 추정식이 부재하다. 이 연구는 LNG 저장탱크에 대해 보다 정확한 실제 강도를 측정하기 위해 Pilot LNG 저장탱크벽체로부터 코어를 채취하였다. 코어를 채취하기 전 해당위치에 일반적인 비파괴시험 방법인 반발경도 검사를 4개의 다른 영역에 각 3군데 위치에서 이루어졌다. 채취한 콘크리트 코어에 대해 압축강도 시험결과의 실제 압축강도 데이터와 반발경도 데이터를 이용하여 LNG 저장탱크의 압축강도 추정식을 개발하였다.
