건플랜트 내부의 주요 시설물인 원통형 액체저장탱크에 지진 하중이 작용하면 탱크 벽체에 좌굴이 발생하여 큰 손실을 초래할 수 있다. 탱크 구조물 설계시 좌굴에 대한 허용응력을 규정한 국내 기준은 일관성이 부족하고 근거가 미약하여 주로 국외의 API 650, BS EN 1998-4:2006, 뉴질랜드 기준 등을 차용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 서로 다른 형상 비를 갖는 탱크 구조물에 대해 응답스펙트럼해석을 수행하여 유체 동압력을 산정한 후 재료 및 기하비선형을 고려한 비선형 좌굴해석을 수행하여 축방향 허용좌굴응력을 산정하고 국외 기준과의 비교를 통해 적절한 국내 기준을 제안하였다.

건물과 교량의 내진설계기준 제정작업이 활발하게 진행되고 있는 반면 탱크구조물에 대한 내진설계기준 제정작업은 아직 초기단계에 머무르고 있는 실정이다 탱크구조물이 지진에 의해 붕괴되는 경우 탱크자체의 파손 및 저장물의 손실에 의한 직접피해보다 저장물의 유출에 의한 피해파급이 더욱 심각한 상황을 초래할 수 있다 따라서 탱크구조물의 내진설계기준에는 탱크구조물의 동적 거동에 대한 해석 및 검토방법은 물론 이러한 피해파급을 최소할 수 잇는 조치가 포함되어야 한다 이논문에서는 원통형 액체저장 강탱크에 대한 내진설계기준의 제정에 필수적으로 고려해야 하는 설계개념과 원칙 해석방법 검토사항 및 피해파급 차단초치를 제시하였다.

본 연구에서는 휘발유가 저장되어 있는 탱크의 화재폭발로 인해 인적 및 재산피해의 규모 사례를 통해 화재 위험성을 확인하고, 인접탱크에 미치는 복사열 영향을 평가하여 안전이 확보되는데 필요한 보유공지를 제시하고자 한다. 경기북부지역의 환경조건(풍속, 기온)에 따른 유류저장탱크 화재 시 방출되는 복사열(최대 방출량)이 인접탱크에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해 시뮬레이션을 적용하였다. 연구결과, 유류저장탱크 화재 시 방출되는 복사열은 최대풍속에 의해 약 1.9배 증가하고 최대기온에 의해 약 700~800 kW 범위에서 차이가 발생되는 것을 확인하였고, 시설 중 직경 28.4 m, 높이 8.5 m의 유류저장탱크 화재 시 약 34.4 m의 보유공지 확보가 필요하다. 향후 다양한 환경조건을 적용하여 휘발유 저장탱크 화재로 인해 방출되는 복사열을 평가하고 이를 통해 구체적이고 정량적인 보유공지 확보에 대한 추가연구가 요구된다.

This paper deals with the buckling behavior of thin-walled aboveground tanks under wind load. In order to do that, the wind pressures are obtained by means of wind-tunnel experiments, while the structural non linear response is computed by means of a finite element discretization of the tank. Wind-tunnel models were constructed and tested to evaluate group effects in tandem configurations, i.e. one or two tanks shielding an instrumented tank. Pressures on the roof and on the cylindrical part were measured by pressure taps. The geometry of the target tank is similar in relative dimensions to typical tanks found in oil storage facilities, and several group configurations were tested with blocking tanks of different sizes and different separation between the target tank and those blocking it. The experimental results show changes in the pressure distributions around the circumference of the tank for half diameter spacing, with respect to an isolated tank with similar dimensions. Moreover, when the front tank of the tandem array has a height smaller than the target tank, increments in the windward pressures were measured. From the computational analysis, it seems that the additional stiffness provided by the roof prevents reductions in the buckling load for cases even when increments in pressures develop in the top region of the cylinder.

Seasonal variation of natural gas demand coupled with rigid and stable import pattern of gas represents the characteristic feature of the Korean Liquified Natural Gas(LNG) industry. This attribute has required a huge amount of investment for the construction of storage facility. Thus, to minimize the supply cost, it is legitimate to reduce storage requirement itself. In this study, we combine three alternative methods to deal with the storage requirement to minimize the supply cost. Those are (1) adding additional storage tanks, (2) inducing large firm customers, and (3) constructing gas-turbine self generation facilities. Methodologically, we employ the mixed integer program (MIP) to optimize the system. The model also consider demand and price-setting scheme in separate modules. From the results, it is shown that if alternatives are combined optimally, a number of storage tanks can be reduced substantially compared with the original capacity plan set by the industry authorities. We perform various sensitivity analyses to check the robustness of the results. The methodology presented in this study can be applied to the other physical network industry, such as hydraulics. The empirical results will shed some light on the rationalization of capacity planning of the Korean natural gas industry.

A liquid storage rectangular tank structures are used In many fields of civil, mechanical and marine engineering. Especially, Ship structures have many tanks In contact with Inner or outer fluid, like ballast, fuel and cargo tanks. Fatigue damages are sometimes observed in these tanks which seem to be caused by resonance with exciting force of engine and propeller. Vibration characteristics of these thin walled tanks in contact with fluid near engine or propeller are strongly affected by added mass of containing fluid. Therefore it is essentially important to estimate the added mass effect to predict vibration of the tank structures. In the previous report, we have developed numerical tool of vibration analysis of 3-dimensional tank structure using finite elements for plates and boundary elements for fluid region. In the present report, using the numerical analysis, vibrations characteristics In deep water tank are investigated and discussed.

This paper presents a method of seismic analysis for a cylindrical liquid storage structure considering the effects of the interior fluid and exterior soil medium in the frequency domain. The horizontal and rocking motions of the structure are included in this study. The fluid motion is expressed in terms of analytical velocity potential functions, which can be obtained by solving the boundary value problem including the deformed configuration of the structure as well as the sloshing behavior of the fluid. The effect of the fluid is included in the equation of motion as the impulsive added mass and the frequency-dependent convective added mass along the nodes on the wetted boundary of the structure. The structure and the near-field soil medium are represented using the axisymmetric finite elements, while the far-field soil is modeled using dynamic infinite elements. The present method can be applied to the structure embedded in ground as well as on ground, since it models both the soil medium and the structure directly. For the purpose of verification, earthquake response analyses are performed on several cases of liquid tanks on a rigid ground and on a homogeneous elastic half-space. Comparison of the present results with those by other methods shows good agreement. Finally, an application example of a reinforced concrete tank on a horizontally layered soil with a rigid bedrock is presented to demonstrate the importance of the soil-structure interaction effects in the seismic analysis for large liquid storage tanks.

Liquid storage tank is one of the major infrastructures and generally used to store gases, drinking and utilizing water, dangerous fluids, fire water and so on. According to the recent reports and experiences, the tank structures are damaged in many earthquakes due to their low energy dissipating capacity. Therefore, many researchers have been tried to know the dynamic properties of the tanks including liquids. However, vary limited experimental studies are carried out using relatively small tank models. In this study, a series of shaking table tests are performed with maximum 2 m cubic rectangular liquid storage tanks made of steel to measure the natural frequency and estimate damping coefficient of impulsive and convective mode of the tanks. Especially, the damping values under different shapes and excitation methods are estimated by logarithmic decrement method and half power band-pass method and compared with current design code and standards such as ASCE 7, Eurocode 8 and NZS. Test results show that the impulsive mode damping is around 2% which is proposed by general standards and codes but the impulsive mode damping is 0.13% average that is slightly lower than the code recommendation.
