  • The fatigue crack growth characteristics of base metal and weld joint of 9% Ni steel for LNG storage tank was carried out using CT specimen at room temperature and $-162^{\circ}C$. Fatigue crack growth rate of base and weld metals at RT and $-162^{\circ}C$ was coincided with a single line independent of the change of stress ratio and temperature. In the region of lower stress intensity factor range, fatigue crack growth rate at $-162^{\circ}C$ was slower than that at RT, and the slop of fatigue crack growth rate at $-162^{\circ}C$ increased sharply with propagating of fatigue crack, fatigue crack growth rate at RT and $-162^{\circ}C$ was intersected near the region of $2{\times}10-4\;mm$/cycle, and after the intersection region, fatigue crack growth rate at $-162^{\circ}C$ was faster than that at RT. The micro-fracture mechanism using SEM shows the ductile striation in the stable crack growth region. Also the defects of weld specimen after fatigue testing were detected using the A scan of ultrasonic apparatus.

  • 본 연구에서는 LNG 저장탱크에서 액면화재(pool fire) 발생시 복사열속(radiation flux)의 정량적인 예측과 복사열 피해를 줄이는 방법을 제안하기 위하여 RISC모델을 사용하여 여러 조건에서 복사열속을 계산하였다. 모델 예측결과 LNG 탱크의 액면화재에 의한 복사열 피해에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 인자는 풍속임을 알 수 있었다. 화염과 피해 대상물사이의 복사피해 정도는 높은 풍속에서 보다 낮은 풍속에서의 풍속변화에 따라 크게 변하였다. 또한 액면화재 발생시 복사열 피해는 탱크 또는 공장 주위에 방풍시설을 함으로써 크게 줄일 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 방풍시설은 다른 방법들 보다 경제적이기 때문에 냉각시설 및 소방시설과 연계하여 가스 저장탱크 주위에 설치하는 것이 바람직하다.

  • As one step for the safety performance of LNG storage tank, the change in fracture toughness within the X-grooved weld heat-affected zone (HAZ) of newly developed 9% Ni steel, which was submerged arc (SA)-welded, was investigated. Both crack initiation fracture toughness and crack arrest fracture toughness were evaluated by the crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) tests and compact crack arrest (CCA) tests. As the evaluated region approached the fusion line, each test result shorted different tendency, that is, crack initiation toughness decreased while crack arrest toughness increased. The results were discussed through the observation of the microstructural change.

  • 지중식 LNG 저장 탱크의 지중연속벽(슬러리 벽체)의 시공 품질 및 건전성을 평가하기 위하여 비파괴 진단을 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 지중 연속벽의 9군데 측점을 선정하여 각각의 측점에서 탄성파 충격-공진법으로 벽체의 두께를 측정하였고, GPR을 사용하여 철근의 배치 간격을 조사하였다. 또한, 음속과 반발경도를 측정하여 압축강도를 추정하였다. 그 결과로 벽체의 두께는 150cm 이상으로 설계값을 만족하고 있으며, 철근의 배근 간격도 설계값과 잘 일치하였다. 콘크리트의 압축강도 추정값은 기준값보다 훨씬 크게 나타나서 전체적으로 구조물의 시공 품질은 양호한 것으로 판단된다.

  • 본 연구에서는 액화천연가스(LNG 즉 Liquefied Natural Gas) 저장탱크의 보강재(stiffener) 설계를 위한 주요 설계인자들의 특성을 파악하고 구조 최적설계를 수행하였다. 보강재가 결합된 LNG 저장탱크의 내조는 외부의 펄라이트(perlite)의 압력에 의해 좌굴되지 않도록 설계되는데, 기존의 보강재 설계방법에서는 펄라이트 압력이 내조 높이에 무관하게 동일하다고 가정하여, 보강재의 과도한 설계를 초래하였다. 본 연구에서는 펄라이트의 물성값에 따른 펄라이트 압력분포의 영향을 살펴보았고, 최적설계를 통해 기존 설계보다 보강재의 재료비용이 15.3% 절감됨을 알 수 있었다.

  • This study aimed to assess the feasibility on the wide and long 9%Ni steel plate for use in the LNG storage inner tank shell. First, 5-m-wide and 15-m-long 9%Ni steel plates were test manufactured from a steel mill and specimens taken from the plates were tested for strength, toughness, and flatness to verify their performance based on international standards and design specifications. Second, plates with a thickness of 10 mm and 25 mm, a width of 4.8~5.0 m, and a length of 15 m were test fabricated by subjecting to pretreatment, beveling, and roll bending resulting in a final width of 4.5~4.8 m and a length of 14.8m with fabrication errors identical to conventional plates. Third, welded specimens obtained via shield metal arc welding used for vertical welding of inner tank shell and submerged arc welding used for horizontal welding were also tested for strength, toughness and ductility. Fourth, verification of shell plate material and fabrication was followed by test erection using two 25-mm-thick, 4.5-m-wide and 14.8-m-long 9%Ni steel plates. No undesirable welding failure or deformation was found. Finally, parametric design using wide and long 9%Ni steel plates was carried out, and a simplified design method to determine the plate thickness along the shell height was proposed. The cost analysis based on the parametric design resulted in about 2% increase of steel weight; however, the construction cost was reduced about 6% due to large reduction in welding work.

  • A New concept for the LNG-FPSO ship, with moonpool and bilge step in bottom, is proposed. This concept is investigated with regard to motion reduction and sloshing phenomena of the cargo and operation tanks. The principal dimensions of the ship are $L\timesb B\times D\times t(design)=270.0\times51.0\times32.32\times13.7(m)$, with a total cargo capacity of 161KT; a 98% loading condition is considered for this study. The moonpools and rectangular step at the bilge have been designed for the purpose of decreasing the motion within the tank. For the motion analysis, linearized three-dimensional diffraction theory, with the simplified boundary condition was used. The six-degree of freedom coupled motion responses were calculated for the LNG-FPSO ship. Viscous effects on the roll motion responses of a vessel were taken into account in this calculation program, using an empirical formula suggested by Himeno(1981). The case study for the moonpool size has been conducted using theoretical estimation and the experimental method. For the optimization of the moonpool size and effect of the bilge step, 9 cases of its size, both with and without bilge step, were involved in the study. no motion responses, especially roll motion, for the designed LNG-FPSO ships are much lower than those of other drill ships and shuttle tankers. The limit criterions are satisfied. To check the cargo tank and operation tank sizes, we performed a sloshing analysis in the irregular waves which focuses on the pressure distribution on the tank wall and the time history of pressure and free surface for No.2 and 5 tanks of LNG-FPSO with chamfers. Finally, optimum tank sire was estimated.
