Abstract:
This is a state-of-the-art review of various treatments of earthquake loaded liquid filled shells by the methods of earthquake engineering, fluid dynamics, structural and soil dynamics, as well as the theory of stability and computational mechanics. Different types of tanks and different possibilities of tank failure will be discussed. We will emphasize cylindrical above-ground liquid storage tanks with a vertical axis. But many of the treatments are also valid for other tank configurations. For the calculation of the dynamically activated pressure due to an earthquake a fluid-structure-soil interaction problem must be solved. The review will describe the methods, proposed by different authors, to solve this interaction problem. To study the dynamic behavior of liquid storage tanks, one must distinguish between anchored and unanchored tanks. In the case of an anchored tank, the tank bottom edge is fixed to the foundation. If the tank is unanchored, partial lifting of the tank’s bottom may occur, and a strongly nonlinear problem has to be solved. We will compare the various analytical and numerical models applicable to this problem, in combination with experimental data. An essential aim of this review is to give a summary of methods applicable as tools for an earthquake resistant design, which can be used by an engineer engaged in the construction of liquid storage tanks.

Abstract:
A container to store water in a huge amount of capacity can simply be called as the water tank. During the earthquakes, all these liquid storage tanks get collapsed or damaged heavily. 40 to 65 years is the feasible lifetime of an ESR in general. Shortage of drinking water, utilizing water, uncontrolled fires, etc are some unexpected events caused due to any damage or collapse of the tanks. Water tank parameters include various designs of tanks and different way of construction, materials, linings etc. Different materials are used for the construction and development of water tanks such as: - plastic, concrete, steel, fiberglass, etc. Therefore, to avoid all those unwanted events in the future various studies have been carried out regarding different types, shapes of water tanks. In this research, Elevated Service Reservoir (E.S.R) is being compared of shape Rectangular & Circular water tanks of capacity 5lakh litres and a total height of 18m with 3m, 4.5m staging height in Earthquake Zone V by Equivalent static analysis using STAAD.PRO software and referring GSDMA guidelines for the design of a tank and IS 1893 PART2-2014 code. By studying all the observations and results, it shows that Circular water tank is more preferable and economical for use.

Abstract:
Abstract Tanks for the storage of oil and gas play a special role in the oil and gas industry. During the construction and design of such structures in difficult geological conditions, increased attention is paid to their safe operation. The combined manifestation of seismic impacts and the presence of permafrost can pose an increased danger. The article presents an analysis of the various components of an oil and gas storage system. A comparative analysis of the seismic resistance of storage tanks was carried out, taking into account the presence of a thawed permafrost base in the base. It is shown that during thawing, the permafrost base can greatly affect the seismic resistance of the structure.

Abstract:
The use of storage tanks in sewerage systems has increased in recent years. The primary functions of such tanks are to attenuate flow and to retain pollutants within the sewer system. The main problem is to provide storage and effective separation of gross and suspended solids without incurring poor self - cleansing and associated high maintenance costs. The size of the required storage volume is dependant on the purpose for which the tank is to be used, but the end product of any design analysis is a fixed volume of storage. This project has involved the development of fullscale and laboratory computer controlled monitoring systems for the purpose of flow visualisation and digital imaging and for the comparative assessment of the sediment removal performance of different geometric configurations of overflow and storage tank. These systems used sophisticated control procedures and the latter had the facility to generate a flow hydrograph of any shape and duration and to superimpose on this hydrograph a pollutograph of synthetic cohesive sediment of any distribution. A wide variety of tanks have been constructed, mainly rectangular in plan shape (some circular), but both online and off-line and with and without an overflow structure. The use of benching to the chamber floor and the inclusion of a dry-weather flow channel were common but not universal features.

Abstract:
The topic of chemical oxidative degradation in rotational molded polyethylene (high-density cross-linked) chemical (sodium hypochlorite) storage tanks is an industry problem that ranks at the top of current business issues for manufacturers of chemical storage tanks. The degradation of these tanks not only compromises the physical and mechanical properties of the tank material, but reduces the life expectancy of the tank, eventually resulting in catastrophic tank failure. Premature tank failure comes at a hefty cost. The reputation of the manufacturer is questioned often resulting in immediate loss of customer satisfaction and future business. The leaking of the chemical from the failed tank serves as a liable environmental hazard that jeopardizes the safety and welfare of its surroundings – people and environment. And the associated manufacturer of the failed tank is almost certainly responsible for the repair or replacement of the tank. All these associated problems and many more related to chemical tank failure cost this relatively small industry millions of dollars annually. The need to determine the failure mechanisms of these tanks is critically important. Such an understanding will provide industry with useful knowledge that will open the door for improvements in tank performance. There is no question that a deeper understanding of failure mechanisms will improve a tank manufacturer's reputation, increase business sales, and assure environmental safety. The addition of this knowledge will also instill consumer confidence in an industry that is considered to lack refined manufacturing processes and proven quality controls. Such advancements are keys to making rotational molding a cutting-edge, technology-driven process that prepares industry for future growth and development. The purpose of this research is to provide tested empirical data and proven expert analysis that can be utilized by companies in understanding the failure mechanisms of these tanks. The information regarding this topic was collected from various tank samples taken from Poly Processing, a leading manufacturer of rotationally molded polyethylene chemical storage tanks and producer of the examined samples, and Odyssey Manufacturing, a manufacturer of bulk sodium hypochlorite and the end user of the examined samples. In the final chapter of this research, a summary is presented of the important findings regarding the purpose of the thesis study.

The concept for a new form of pumped storage hydro is being developed within the Precision Engineering Research Group at MIT: the Ocean Renewable Energy Storage (ORES) project. Large, hollow concrete spheres are created, fitted with a reversible pump-turbine and deployed to the sea floor. Water is then allowed to flow through the turbine, into the sphere, to produce power and power is stored back in the device by running the turbine backwards as a pump and evacuating the sphere. The first prototype of that concept is presented here. A land-based system was designed, built and tested to demonstrate its ability to store energy and test the viability of the manufacturing methods planned. The device was successfully built and cycled, storing 2Wh of energy. The round-trip efficiency of the device was severely affected by the low efficiency of the scaled down rotating equipment. It was also found that casting a monolithic sphere is preferable to assembling multiple pieces and that the interior of the sphere should be maintained at atmospheric pressure via a vent line.

Abstract:
A number of LNG storage tank designs have been implemented on past and current projects. Such designs include full containment tanks with a 9%Ni inner liner for primary containment and storage of LNG at cryogenic temperature, a carbon steel liner for secondary liquid containment, thermal corner protection and vapor barriers on the inner tank and a concrete outer tank for resistance to external loads. LNG storage tanks are a key component of an LNG liquefaction or regasification facility and there is only a handful of specialized contractors that possess the tank technology and track record of the materials involved and the construction know how required for successful execution. This paper will focus on factors influencing LNG storage tanks design selection and construction execution strategies which can be a function of functional requirements as well as project location.

Abstract:
The Old Solvent Tanks (OST), located at the Savannah River Site (SRS) Old Radioactive Waster Burial Ground (ORWBG), are comprised of 22 underground storage tanks that were used to store spent radioactive solvent and aqueous wastes generated from the plutonium-uranium extraction (PUREX) process. The OSTs were installed at various dates between 1955 and 1968 and used to store the spent solvents until 1974. The spent solvents stored in the OSTs were transferred out from 1976 through 1981 leaving only residual liquids and sludges that could not be pumped out. Final remediation goals for the ORWBG include an overlying infiltration control system. If the tanks were to structurally fail, they would collapse causing potential for onsite worker exposure and release of tank contents to the environment. Therefore, as an interim action, methods for stabilizing the tanks were evaluated. The preferred remedial action was “Grouting of the Tank Wastes In-situ.” The primary function of the grout is to provide structural stability of the tanks by filling void space with material that prevents tank collapse. Incidental to any mixing that may occur, residual material in the tanks will be incorporated into the grouting mixture. The incidental grouting will ultimately improve environmental protection by rendering the residual material immobile. To accomplish this task, the SRS Environmental Restoration Division (ERD) teamed with the Savannah River Technology Center (SRTC) to determine a remedial design strategy and to translate this strategy into a construction specification and drawings for implementation. The OST remedial design strategy contained the following key aspects for performance requirements and acceptance criteria: • Grout mix; • Tank atmosphere testing; • Grout delivery system and camera monitoring system; • Off-Gas HEPA filter system and environmental monitoring; • OST Sealing and labeling. From November 2001 through February 2003 all 22 Old Solvent Tanks were successfully stabilized. This paper will discuss the systems designed to perform and monitor the grouting operation, the grouting process, and the radiological controls and wastes associated with grouting the Old Solvent Tanks.

Abstract:
Abstract A number of methods are currently employed for cleaning and inspection of large fuel storage tanks. All of these methods require that the tank be first taken out of service, emptied, the present sludge material removed, vented, and cleaned before the inspection process is undertaken. This process is very time consuming, laborious and costly. In addition, there is a great safety concern for people that have to operate the machinery inside the tank. In this paper, the design of a novel robotic system for cleaning large crude and # 6 oil storage tanks through regular homogenization that also prepares the tank surfaces and weld line for in-situ inspection is presented. The developed system is shown to not only reduce the direct and indirect cost of fuel tank cleaning and inspection, but also greatly reduce the amount of solid waste that has to be disposed of at high cost and with potentially high adverse environmental impact. This design solves most of the problems associated with the presently available telerobotic systems for similar operations since it makes it possible for the operator to be in constant visual contact with the robot operating within the tank. This novel design also greatly reduces the logistics problems related to the tether line and its handling within the tank and its entanglement. A prototype of this system is under construction.

Abstract:
Following the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant resulting from the March 11, 2011 Great Tohoku Earthquake and subsequent tsunami, there was a general concern regarding the beyond design basis capability of existing nuclear power plants. The Condensate Storage Tanks (CST) in the nuclear power plant were originally designed to withstand an earthquake with a peak ground acceleration (PGA) of 0.3g. The government regulatory commission increased the required PGA to 0.4g, therefore, an upgrade of the design basis for the CSTs was required. Due to the vintage of the existing nuclear power plant, the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) Unresolved Safety Issue (USI) A-46 methodology may be used for seismic upgrade work of the mechanical and electrical equipment. The Condensate Storage Tanks (CST) belong to the mechanical and electric equipment and therefore were required to have seismic upgrade work because of significant deficiencies that were found in the anchorage of the tanks to the concrete foundation. A seismic analysis and design upgrade of the Condensate Storage Tanks (CST) was performed to resolve exceedances for base shear, overturning moment and sloshing due to recently updated seismic loads. A detailed analysis of the CST showed that the as-built anchor chair detail did not provide sufficient margin for the Beyond Design Basis Earthquake Event (BDBEE). The as-built anchor chair detail did not provide the required strength to transfer the shear and pull-out loads from the tank shell to the concrete foundation, i.e. no clear load path was provided for the updated seismic loads. Therefore, as a result of the inadequate anchorage, the main issues to resolve in the CST were tank sliding, shell buckling and sloshing due to earthquake loading. The principal challenges encountered during the analysis, design and construction stages were (1) not allowing to loosen the double nut configuration attaching the anchor bolt to the existing anchor chair, and therefore allowing to (2) remove or replace only a few components of the as-built anchor chair, and (3) the retrofit design had to be implemented while tanks were operable, i.e. filled with fluid. An additional challenge faced during the design of the new anchor chair components was the limit in anchor chair height imposed by the numerous interferences in the CST such as nozzles, reinforcing plates and existing welds. A mitigation strategy is analyzed, designed and successfully implemented for retrofitting the ninety-six anchor chairs and allowing for full development of the anchor bolt shear and pull-out strength.

Abstract:
Enbridge Pipelines Inc. utilizes aboveground crude oil storage tanks for operational flexibility and merchant storage purposes. Most of these tanks are built in accordance with the requirements of API 650. This standard requires that an appropriate corrosion allowance be included in the minimum shell thickness calculations. A variety of sources were researched in an effort to develop a process that ensures the selected corrosion allowance allows for the safe operation of a tank for its entire service life. Some of these sources include other API standards, historical API 653 tank inspection reports, published atmospheric corrosion rates, and corrosion allowance specifications of industrial counterparts. Defining an appropriate corrosion allowance requires consideration of a number of factors: • Whether or not the product contains significant sediments and water; • Whether or not an internal lining will be applied in accordance with API 652; • The length of time to the first out-of-service inspection; • Whether or not the tank will be externally coated; • The temperature of the product stored; • The annual precipitation at the specified location; • The average chloride concentration in rainwater at the specified location. During the course of the corrosion allowance study, the issue of maximum allowable design stress was also considered. The allowable stress values specified in the standard for construction of new tanks (API 650) differs from the allowable stress values specified in the inspection standard for existing tanks (API 653). It has been suggested that the incremental difference between the minimum shell thicknesses calculated using API 650 instead of API 653 could be designated as corrosion allowance. This paper will describe the corrosion allowance calculations in detail as well as address the issue of maximum allowable design stress.

Abstract:
Brazil Campos Basin is under large offshore oil production activity. Many new giant oil fields are under development. Brazil has been using tankers ship converted as FPSO platform vessel. At this moment three FPSO are in final construction phase to be installed in Campos Basin. Many oil cargo tankers are transformed to work as FPSO. Although they are showing good characteristics, some problems are having been emerging. The turret design approach was used in the primary FPSO’s but recently the spread mooring system with rigid risers is also under installation in Campos Basin. New ideas about Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) system have been in focus since some projects started working in an appropriately FPSO design direction. This paper spotlights one of these ideas: the FPSO tankers arrangement as a possible optimization procedure. MARPOL rule is followed but an alternative procedure is suggested to consider vessel control under wave’s action and at the same time looking for stress minimization. The aim in this procedure is increase the operator capability. The idea is allow the FPSO operator change the load condition using ballast in segregated tanks assuring a more suitable vessel condition in waves. Stability, wave response, stresses and operation ability should be also merit functions in any optimization process. A box shape FPSO-BR is used to highlight the procedure application. Results are presented and conclusion pointed out.

Abstract:
Increase of natural gas demand has led the increase of constructions of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) storage tanks worldwide. The inner tank material for above ground LNG storage tanks has mostly been made of 9% nickel steel plate over the last 50 years as it has excellent mechanical properties under the cryogenic temperature of −160deg.C. During this period, the LNG storage tanks made of 9%Ni steel plate have safely been operated. Meanwhile, technologies of steel making, welding, design, construction and inspection of 9%Ni steel plate have been improved significantly and enable us to achieve enlarging volumetric capacity of the tank to 2–3 times. It is known that nickel is an expensive and valuable rare metal and recent tendency of increase in nickel price has influenced the price of 9%Ni steel plate. In such a circumstance lowering the Ni content would save cost and this has led to an extensive research and development resulting in the 7%Ni-TMCP steel plate. This 7%Ni-TMCP steel plate developed is characterized by adjustment of chemical compositions and application of suitable Thermo-Mechanical Controlled Process (TMCP). In order to evaluate fitness of the 7%Ni-TMCP steel plate and its weld for LNG storage tanks, a series of testing was conducted. Several different kinds of plate thicknesses from 6 to 50 mm were chosen to run large scale fracture toughness tests such as duplex ESSO tests, cruciform wide plate tests as well as small scale tests. As a result it was demonstrated that the 7%Ni-TMCP steel plate had a quite excellent resistance to brittle fracture of the inner tank steel and its welds exposed to the cryogenic temperature of LNG. Furthermore, other various issues such as extent of applicable heat input, repair weld, difference of physical constants and so on were investigated and found acceptable. In Japan Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) approved to apply this steel to new LNG storage tanks of Osaka Gas. After that Osaka Gas decided to construct a new full containment LNG storage tank applying 7%Ni-TMCP steel in Senboku terminal 1. The capacity is 230,000m3, which is larger than present largest scale of 180,000m3 in Japan. The construction is planned to start in September 2012 and be completed by November 2015.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper explores the application of the required loads while performing fitness-for-service (FFS) assessments on an in-service storage tank. Specifically, API 579 – 1, Level 3 FFS assessments involving finite element analyses are studied. In the authors’ experience, due to the absence of specific details about the application of loads within the design codes and post construction standards such as API 579 - 1, the chosen load application is purely at the discretion of the analyst. Often times, choosing one methodology over the other can result in non-conservative assessments. For example, in order to apply wind load pressure distributions on tanks and vessels for plastic collapse and buckling behavior, API 579 – 1 directs the user to ASCE 7 – 16 for wind load calculations. However, previous versions of ASCE 7 did not specify a circumferential pressure distribution for cylindrical structures which can significantly vary around the circumference of a large diameter storage tank. In addition, a few changes in ASCE in the recent edition affect the assessment of in-service tanks for seismic loads. The authors assessed various load cases on tanks of varying diameter to thickness (D/t) ratios and diameter to height ratios. The results show that the choice of loading can have a significant impact on the buckling characteristics of the tanks in-service. This is an attempt to develop some assessment guidelines to support the proposed Tank Assessment Section in a future Edition of API 579 – 1 Standard.

Abstract:
In order to assure reliable and safe operation of large-sized vertical storage tanks and find the hazardous defects during the operation, it is needed to regularly inspect and test the storage tanks. Current inspection technology for in-service storage tanks can be divided into online inspection technology and post-shutdown internal inspection technology. Online inspection technology mainly includes acoustic emission technique, guided ultrasonic wave technique, spot ultrasonic thickness measurement technique and ultrasonic thickness measurement technique using auto wall-climbing robot, etc., and post-shutdown internal inspection technology mainly includes magnetic flux leakage inspection technique, ultrasonic inspection technique, surface inspection technique and vacuum leak detection technique, etc. This paper introduces the inspection methods for large-sized vertical petroleum storage tanks adopted currently in China in order to judge the status of the storage tank according to the online inspection results, decide whether to cut down or extend post-shutdown internal inspection cycle or not and develop inspection and maintenance plan; and conduct post-shutdown internal inspection according to the cycle specified in the enterprise standard. This paper also introduces the development situation of codes for design, construction and erection, repair and retrofitting and inspection standards for large-sized vertical petroleum storage tanks.

Full text
Abstract:
The Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) has been employed for pavement design by the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) since 2009 and has generated efficient pavement designs with a lower cost. It has been demonstrated that the success of MEPDG implementation depends largely on a high level of accuracy associated with the information supplied as design inputs. Vehicular traffic loading is one of the key factors that may cause not only pavement structural failures, such as fatigue cracking and rutting, but also functional surface distresses, including friction and smoothness. In particular, truck load spectra play a critical role in all aspects of the pavement structure design. Inaccurate traffic information will yield an incorrect estimate of pavement thickness, which can either make the pavement fail prematurely in the case of under-designed thickness or increase construction cost in the case of over-designed thickness. The primary objective of this study was to update the traffic design input module, and thus to improve the current INDOT pavement design procedures. Efforts were made to reclassify truck traffic categories to accurately account for the specific axle load spectra on two-lane roads with low truck traffic and interstate routes with very high truck traffic. The traffic input module was updated with the most recent data to better reflect the axle load spectra for pavement design. Vehicle platoons were analyzed to better understand the truck traffic characteristics. The unclassified vehicles by traffic recording devices were examined and analyzed to identify possible causes of the inaccurate data collection. Bus traffic in the Indiana urban areas was investigated to provide additional information for highway engineers with respect to city streets as well as highway sections passing through urban areas. New equivalent single axle load (ESAL) values were determined based on the updated traffic data. In addition, a truck traffic data repository and visualization model and a TABLEAU interactive visualization dashboard model were developed for easy access, view, storage, and analysis of MEPDG related traffic data.

Abstract:
The procedure for finding technological parameters for the installation of pile foundations with small-sized drilling rigs, when developing design and technological documentation in compressed construction conditions, is considered. Methodological approaches to the choice of technologies for the construction of pile foundations are shown, depending on the dimensions of the small-sized drilling machines used, the required area for their placement, storage areas, and auxiliary equipment. in compressed conditions of construction. The existing normative documents do not set out separate requirements for the development of projects for the execution of works in compressed construction conditions, these norms do not provide for the definition of rational erection schemes for the selected set of mechanization in the dimensions of a specific construction site, which is characterized by various restrictions and obstacles. The proposed requirements for the use of mechanization methods in the conditions of compacted buildings during the installation of pile foundations based on a preliminary analysis of the parameters of the construction site: engineering and geological condition of the site; internal brevity of the designed structure; external brevity of the construction site; dimensions of the driving car; sites for the location of additional equipment, warehouses, unloading areas. Taking into account practical experience in the development of work projects and the analysis of current regulatory documents, made it possible to establish the main requirements for the use of small-sized drilling rigs in densely built-up conditions.
