Abstract
This is a comparative structural analysis for a steel roof LNG storage tank that has some advantages relatively in designing larger scale tanks and construction cost, etc. compared with a conventional concrete roof LNG storage tank as the capacity of LNG storage tanks is bigger. Structural analysis was performed on a 200,000$k{\ell}$ steel roof LNG storage tank and a concrete of the same capacity in condition of three critical load combination cases, a normal operation, a LNG spillage and seismic case by using finite element method. And comparative structural safety evaluation was carried out by using strength ratio in places of concrete wall, foundation and roof with a quantitative method.
LNG 저장탱크의 대형화 추세에 맞춰 대형화, 건설비용 등에 있어 상대적으로 유리한 강재 지붕형 LNG 저장탱크에 대한 구조안전성을 기존의 콘크리트 지붕형 저장탱크와 비교 평가하였다. 20만$k{\ell}$ 강재 지붕형 탱크와 콘크리트 지붕형 탱크에 대해서 정상운전상태, LNG 유출상태 및 지진하중상태의 주요 하중조합조건에서 유한요소해석기법을 이용하여 해석하고, 벽체, 바닥 및 지붕의 강도비를 통해서 구조안전성을 정량적으로 평가하였다.
