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.

With the expansion of natural gas demands in many countries, the necessity of LNG receiving terminals has been increased. The offshore LNG Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) attracts attentions not only for a land based LNG receiving terminal alternative, but also for a feasible and economic solution. Nowadays, as the reliability of offshore oil and gas floating facilities and LNG carriers gains with proven worldwide operations, the FSRU can achieve a safety level that can be comparable to an onshore terminal. The design development related with safety features of the FSRU has been extensively carried out by oil and gas companies, shipyards, engineering companies, and equipment vendors, and has been successful so far in many fields. The construction of the FSRU can be achieved by integrating various technologies and experiences from many disciplines and many participating companies and vendors. In this paper, reviews on some of the important design features and design improvements on FSRU together with the practical construction aspects in cargo containment, vaporization system, ESD system, and operation modes, have been covered in comparison with actual LNG carrier, onshore receiving terminal, and FPSO systems. In order to materialize an FSRU project, the technical and economic justification has to be preceded. It is believed that once the safety and technical soundness is convinced, the FSRU can bring a higher project feasibility by reducing the overall construction time and cost. Through this study, an FSRU design readily applicable to an actual project has been developed by incorporating experiences gained from many marine and offshore projects. The wide use of proven standard technologies adopted in the series construction of LNG carriers and offshore FPSOs will bring the project efficiency and reliability.

Cathodic protection(CP) is widely used as a means of protecting corrosion for not only marine structures like ship hulls and offshore drilling facilities, but also underground structures like buried pipelines and oil storage tanks. The principle of CP is that the anodic dissolution of metal can be protected by supplying electrons to the cathode metal. When unprotected structures are nearby to CP systems, interference problems between unprotected and protected structures may be happened. The stray current interference can accelerate the corrosion of nearby structures. So far many efforts have been made to reduce the interference in the electric railway systems adjacent to the underground metal structures like buried pipelines and gas/oil tanks. During recent few decades the protection technologies against stray current induced corrosion have been significantly improved and a number of techniques have been developed. However, there is very limited information an marine environments. Some complex harbor structures are protected by two cathodic protection systems, i.e. sacrificial anode cathodic protection(SACP) and impressed current cathodic protection(ICCP). In this case, when the protection current from sacrificial anodes returns to the cathode through electrolyte, it passes through nearby other low resistance metal structures. In many cases the stray current of ICCP systems influences the function of SACP. In this study, the risk of stray current from the SACP system to adjacent reinforced concrete structures has been verified through laboratory experiments. Concrete and steel pile structures modeled a part of bridge have been investigated in terms of CP potential and current between the two. The variation of stray current according to the magnitude of ICCP/SACP has been studied to mitigate it and to suggest the proper protection criteria.

본 연구에서는 국내 한 토양관련전문기관에서 실시한 석유류저장시설에 대한 법정누출검사와 자체정밀조사에서 실제 특정토양오염관리대상시설로부터 오염물질이 누출되는 기준으로는 25.7%, 저장탱크의 결함 등으로 부적합 경우를 포함하면 53.6%가 부적합으로 나타나 환경부의 누출검사 통계의 평균 부적합률 3.1%와는 현저한 차이가 있으며, 누출검사를 실시하는 동기와 점검방식 등에 따른 부적합률이 매우 다르게 나타났다. 또한, 제작 당시에 발생된 결함이 남아 누출의 잠재적 요인이 되고 있는 탱크가 약 20%에 이르고 있으며, 시설의 사용년수 경과에 따른 조사에서는 설치 후 10년 이하 시설의 부적합률이 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과들을 토대로 도출한 특정토양오염관리대상시설에 대한 최적의 사후관리방안은 다음과 같다. 본 연구 결과를 토대로 한 법정누출검사의 이상적인 부적합률은 직접법의 경우 53.6%, 간접법의 경우 30.7%로서 현재의 부적합률과는 많은 차이가 있으며 이는 누출이 되더라도 이를 감지하는 확률이 떨어지는 간접법과, 누출이 없더라도 결함 등으로 부적합으로 판정되는 직접법 등 검사방식에서 비롯된 원천적 차이와, 검사자의 부정 또는 부실검사 등 운용상의 문제로부터 야기되는 결과로 판단되며, 이를 개선하기 위해서는 현재 누출의 감지율이 극히 낮은 가압법 등의 검사방식은 전문적인 실험을 통해 실제 누출을 감지할 수 있는 수준의 시험기준을 마련하는 한편, 토양관련전문기관 및 이에 소속된 검사자에 대한 교육과 검사결과에 대한 사후검증을 통해 부실 부정검사가 이루어지지 않도록 해야 한다. 설치경과년수 10년 이하의 시설이 업소단위의 부적합률, 저장탱크 및 배관계통의 시설단위 부적합률에서 공히 상대적으로 높은데 이는 부실 시공 등으로 인한 문제가 초기에 집중적으로 발생하는 결과로 보이며, 이와 같은 문제를 해소하기 위해서는 신규 시설에 대한 관리제도를 개선하는 한편, 특정토양오염관리대상시설을 설치한 후 10년이 경과하였을 때에는 6개월 이내 누출검사를 받도록 한 현재의 토양환경보전법 시행령 제8조제1항제2호의 규정은 설치 후 5년이 경과한 시점으로 변경하는 방안을 고려해야 한다. 시설을 설치한 후 10년 이상 경과하면 업소단위의 부적합률은 년평균 약 1.4%씩, 시설로부터 누출 발생률은 약 0.25% 씩 증가하고 있는데, 누출검사의 주기는 새로이 발생되는 누출로 인한 환경적 피해와 복구비용, 누출검사에 따른 직접적인 경제적 비용, 행정규제에 따른 국가차원의 득실을 고려하여 결정하는 것이 타당하나 누출검사와 정화에 따른 직접적인 비용만을 비교하여 결정하는 것도 하나의 방안이 될 수 있다. 예를들어, 누출검사 비용을 업소당 150만원, 오염된 업소의 토양정화비용을 1억원으로 하면 경제성 관점에서의 바람직한 점검주기는 약 6년이 된다. 그러나, 업소에 설치된 저장탱크와 배관계통의 품질은 거의 동등하여 하나의 탱크나 배관에서 문제가 발생되면 나머지 시설에서도 순차적으로 유사한 문제가 발생되고, 시설이 내구연한에 도래할수록 그 경향이 뚜렷해지므로, 일련의 시설계통에서 누출이 발생된 경우에는 검사주기를 점차 단축하여 적용하는 것을 고려할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서 검사방식에 따른 점검결과를 보면, 업소단위의 부적합률에서는 58.9%와 22.5%, 저장탱크에 대한 검사에서 23.1%와 1.6%, 주입배관의 경우 4.1%와 0.5%, 주유 배관의 경우 5.5%와 4.1% 등 직접법으로 점검한 경우가 간접법에 비해 현저히 높아, 간접법으로만 점검을 지속하는 경우 그 차이만큼 누출을 방치하는 결과가 초래되는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 문제를 해소하기 위해서는, 일정 주기마다 반드시 직접법으로 점검을 실시토록 하거나 직접법과 간접법을 교차하여 적용토록 개선할 필요가 있다. 비파괴검사에서 부적합 된 저장탱크를 결함의 유형별 분류한 결과 기공 또는 미용접 등 제작하는 과정에서 발생되는 선천적 결함으로 부적합 된 것이 약 20%에 이르고 있는데, 이는 시설의 노후화로 인한 두께미달과 국부부식 등의 후천적 결함에 의한 불합격률 보다 높은 것이다. 이와 같은 선천적 결함은 당해 저장탱크를 제작할 당시의 기술수준과 점검제도 등에서 기인한 것으로 이를 해소하기 위해서는 차기의 누출검사를 반드시 직접법으로 실시하여 원천적 결함을 보수하도록 하고, 현재의 위험물안전관리법에 의한 탱크 성능시험기준을 개정하여 새로이 설치되는 저장탱크는 모두 비파괴시험을 실시하여 제작과정에서 발생된 결함이 제거되도록 하여야 한다. 검사를 실시하게 된 동기를 자체정밀조사와 법정누출검사로 분류하여 평가한 결과, 자체정밀조사에서의 부적합률이 법정누출검사에서의 부적합률에 비해 현저히 높게 나타났는데, 검사결과 부적합 되는 경우 수반되는 2차적인 부담을 회피하려는 심리가 크게 작용하고 있는 것으로 판단된다. 즉, 법정누출검사에서 부적합 되는 경우 행정관서로부터 받게 되는 시설에 대한 보완 및 재검사, 토양정밀조사 및 오염토양 정화 등 일련의 조치를 회피하기 위하여 검사를 취소하거나 즉시 보수를 행하여 재검사를 받도록 함으로서 검사결과가 왜곡되고 있다. 이와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 법정누출검사 결과 부적합된 시설에 대한 시정명령을 시설 보완과 재검사로 한정하여 특정토양오염관리대상시설의 소유자가 사실적으로 점검할 수 있도록 하고, 시설로부터 저장물질의 누출에 의한 부지의 오염은 소유주가 상황을 고려하여 자발적으로 사후조치를 하게 하거나 차기토양오염도 검사를 통해 오염여부를 확인하도록 부담을 완화 할 필요가 있다. 특정토양오염관리대상시설은 설치시기가 오래된 것 일수록 높은 부적합률을 나타내고 있다. 철판의 부식속도를 시설의 설치경과년수에 따른 평균최소두께의 추이에서 확인된 $0.1mm\;yr^{-i}$을 적용할 경우, 6 mm의 철판을 사용한 탱크는 위험물안전관리법상 탱크의 최소두께 (3.2 mm)에 이르기까지 이론상 내구연한은 28년으로서, 2012년 기준 내구연한을 초과한 시설이 7.3%에 이르고 있으며, 동시기에 설치된 주유배관 (표준두께 3.7 mm)의 경우 이론상의 잔존두께는 0.9 mm에 불과하다는 결론이다. 이와 같이 한계수명에 다다른 시설이나 이론상 내구연한을 초과한 시설에 대하여는 조속히 국가적 차원의 조사를 통해 그 실태를 파악하고 그 결과에 따라 폐쇄 또는 Upgrade 방안을 강구해야 한다.

Under the Korean Marine Environment Management Act (hereunder, the KMEMA), the duty to arrange spill clean-up equipments, including spill clean-up vessels, required by the article 67 of the KMEMA is in essence the provision of public goods since it is a precautionary or preventive measure for the efficient performance of oil spill cleaning up. Also the obligation to control marine pollution and the duty to arrange of anti-pollution measures imposed on polluters is the obligation imposed by the public law in accordance with "the Polluter-Pays Principle". Therefore, the execution of such obligations shall be accompanied by the minimum legal and institutional arrangements. On the other hand, judging whether to form the roles of the public and private sectors in providing public goods is basically a matter of policy decision. However, even if the private sector is allowed to participate in the provision of public goods, it is imperative that a minimum requirement be provided to secure the public interest. Although major countries allows polluters to conclude a preliminary contract with a civil anti-pollution management company, these civilian institutions are in principle constituted by the owners of oil storage facilities. Additionally it is worth noting that it operates as a non-profit organization. In particular, if the practitioner performs pollution control for commercial purposes, their profitability may depend on the size of the pollution, the period spent on pollution control, the size of the equipment and manpower mobilized in the pollution control, and so on. Considering the above problems, caution should be taken to allow marine environmental management companies to be un-limitedly entrusted with the responsibility of arranging measures such as pollution control. In order to allow the marine environmental management contractor to be entrusted for the assignment of duty to protect the marine environment, the marine environment management business should be expanded so that the marine pollutant management capacity satisfies the statutory control capacity. For this purpose, it is necessary to manage and supervise the maintenance and improvement of the control capability of the marine environment management business. It is also necessary to discuss the introduction of the grading system for the control ability of the civil control companies alike in major countries.

본 논문에서는 2009년도 인천지역 토양오염 실태조사에 따른 오염 분포도를 분석하였다. 인천 남동국가 산업단지, 부평 이전 미군기지, 서구 매립지 등에서는 유류저장 시설, 자동차 및 유리 산업화, 군부대 시설에 따른 유류 및 중금속 유출 등의 산업 및 경제 활동으로 토양오염 분포도가 다소 높게 조사되었다. 특히 인천의 토양오염 우려 지역을 대상으로 수치해석을 통한 장래 오염 평가를 하였다. 향후 5년 후 불소와 석유계총탄화수소의 오염은 점차 정화 될 것으로 판단되지만, 오염지역의 관리가 소홀하거나 주변지역으로 유출시 이 기간 내에 주변 확산과 시간경과에 따른 오염 진행은 커질 것으로 판단된다.
