Performance-based seismic evaluation is usually done by considering simplified models for the liquid storage tanks therefore, it is important to validate those simplified models before conducting such evaluation. The purpose of this study is to compare the seismic response results of the FSI (fluid-structure interaction) model and the simplified models for the cylindrical liquid storage tanks and to verify the applicability of the simplified models for estimating failure probability. Seismic analyses were carried out for two types of storage tanks with different aspect ratios (H/D) of 0.45 and 0.86. FSI model represents detailed 3D fluid-structure interaction model and simplified models are modeled as cantilever mass-spring model, frame type mass-spring model and shell type mass-spring model, considering impulsive and convective components. Seismic analyses were performed with modal analysis followed by time history analysis. Analysis results from all the models were verified by comparing with the results calculated by the code and literature. The results from simplified models show good agreement with the ones from detailed FSI model and calculated results from code and literature, confirming that all three types of simplified models are very valid for conducting failure probability analysis of the cylindrical liquid storage tanks.

A reinforced concrete water tank is a typical functional liquid storage structure and cracks are the greatest threat to the liquid storage structure. Tanks are readily cracked due to seismic activity, thereby leading to the leakage of the stored liquid and a loss of function. In order to study the effect of cracks on liquid storage tanks, self-healing and leakage tests for bending cracks and through cracks in the walls of a reinforced concrete water tank were conducted. Material performance tests were also performed. The self-healing performance of bending cracks in a lentic environment and through cracks in a lotic environment were tested, thereby the self-healing width of bending micro-cracks in the lentic environment in the short term were determined. The through cracks had the capacity for self-healing in the lotic environment was found. The leakage characteristics of the bending cracks and through cracks were tested with the actual water head on the crack. The effects on liquid leakage of the width of bending cracks, the depth of the compression zone, and the acting head were determined. The relationships between the leakage rate and time with the height of the water head were analyzed. Based on the tests, the relationships between the crack characteristics and self-healing as well as the leakage were obtained. Thereby the references for water tank structure design and grading earthquake damage were provided.

Nuclear safety-related underground liquid storage tanks, such as those used to store fuel for emergency diesel generators, are critical components for safety of hundreds of existing nuclear power plants (NPP) worldwide. Since most of those NPP will continue to operate for decades, a beyond design base (BDB) seismic screening of safety-related underground tanks in those NPP is beneficial and essential to public safety. The analytical methodology for buried tank subjected to seismic effect, including a BDB seismic evaluation, needs to consider both soil-structure and fluid-structure interaction effects. Comprehensive analysis of such a soil-structure-fluid system is costly and time consuming, often subjected to availability of state-of-art finite element tools. Simple, but practically and reasonably accurate techniques for seismic evaluation of underground liquid storage tanks have not been established. In this study, a mechanics based solution is proposed for the evaluation of a cylindrical underground liquid storage tank using hand calculation methods. For validation, a practical example of two underground diesel fuel tanks in an existing nuclear power plant is presented and application of the proposed method is confirmed by using published results of the computer-aided System for Analysis of Soil Structural Interaction (SASSI). The proposed approach provides an easy to use tool for BDB seismic assessment prior to making decision of applying more costly technique by owner of the nuclear facility.

Recently, in proportion to the increase of earthquake occurrence-frequency and its strength in the countries within the circum-pan Pacific earthquake belt, a concept of earthquake-proof design for huge structures containing liquid has been growing up. This study deals with the refinement of classical numerical approaches for the free vibration analysis of separated structure and liquid motions. According to the liquid-structure interaction, LNG-storage tanks exhibit two distinguished eigenmodes, the sloshing mode and the bulging mode. For the sloshing -mode analysis, we refine the classical rigid-tank model by reflecting the container flexibility. While, for the bulging-mode analysis, we refine the classical uncoupled structural vibration system by taking the liquid free-surface fluctuation into consideration. We first construct the refined dynamic models for both problems, and present the refined numerical procedures. Furthermore, in order for the efficient treatment of large-scale matrices, we employ the Lanczos iteration scheme and the frontal-solver for our test FEM program. With the developed program we carry out numerical experiments illustrating the theoretical results.

본 연구에서는 하나의 제어장치로 서로 직교하는 2방향의 건물응답을 동시에 제어할 수 있는 동조액체질량감쇠기(Tuned Liquid Mass Damper; TLMD)를 제안하고 제어성능을 실험적으로 검증하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 TLMD는 한 방향으로는 동조액체기둥감쇠기(Tuned Liquid Column Damper; TLCD) 내부에 채워진 액체의 운동에너지를 이용하여 구조물의 응답을 제어하게 된다. 그리고, 다른 한 방향 즉 TLCD의 직각 방향으로는 LM guide(linear motion guide) 위에 놓인 TLCD 수조와 내부의 액체의 질량을 이용하여 동조질량감쇠기(Tuned Mass Damper; TMD)로 거동하게 함으로써 구조물의 응답을 감소시킨다. 이와 같은 TLMD의 양방향 독립거동 특성을 증명하기 위해 실물크기의 구조물에 설치하여 강제진동실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과, 양방향 모두 대상 구조물의 응답을 감소시키는 것을 확인하여 제안된 TLMD의 효용성을 검증하였다.

박형석, 안운선과 장세헌이 제안한 액체구조에 관한 천이상태이론을 물에 적용시켜 액체상태에 있는 물의 상태합을 구했다. 이 이론은 액체의 분자가 고체와 같은 자유도, 천이상태의 자유도 및 기체와 같은 자유도를 갖는다는 것이다. 물은 4^{\circ}C$에서 그의 부피가 최소로 되는 등 특유한 성질들을 가졌지만 이 액체이론이 잘 적용된다. 이 이론을 써서 계산한 물의 몰부피, 증가압, 엔트로피, 증발열 및 일정한 압력에서의 비열 그리고 임계점에서의 성질 등은 실측치와의 좋은 일치를 보여준다.

액체저장탱크는 화학물질을 다루는 산업단지의 주요한 구조물로서, 지진으로 인한 구조물의 손상은 화학물질의 유출, 화재, 폭발 등의 추가적인 피해를 야기한다. 따라서 액체저장탱크의 지진 취약성을 사전에 효율적으로 평가하고, 지진에 대비하는 일이 필수적이라고 할 수 있다. 지진으로 인해 진동하는 액체저장탱크는 액체-구조물의 상호작용으로 탱크 벽체에 유동압력이 작용하며, 이는 탱크의 응력을 증가시키고 구조적 손상을 일으키는 원인이 될 수 있다. 한편, 구조물의 지진 취약성은 여러 불확실성 요인들을 고려하여 정해진 한계상태에 대한 파괴확률을 산정함으로써 평가하게 되는데, 보다 정확한 액체저장탱크 지진 취약도 평가를 위해서는 신뢰성 해석 과정에서 정교한 유한요소 해석이 요구된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 최근에 신뢰성 해석 소프트웨어와 유한요소 해석 소프트웨어를 서로 연동시켜 개발된 FERUM-ABAQUS를 활용한 유한요소 신뢰성 해석을 통해 액체저장탱크의 파괴확률을 계산하였다. 이러한 유한요소 신뢰성 해석 기법은 두 소프트웨어 간의 자동적인 데이터 교환이 가능하여 보다 효율적으로 구조물의 지진 취약성을 평가할 수 있으며, 이를 통해 얻은 파괴확률 결과를 바탕으로 지진 강도에 따른 액체저장탱크의 지진 취약도 곡선을 성공적으로 도출하였다.
