Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Design Aid for Structural Engineers Circular Storage Tanks and Silos, Third Edition effectively explains and demonstrates the concepts needed in the analysis and design of circular tanks. Tanks have to sustain high-quality serviceability over a long lifespan. This text covers computing the stresses in service in several chapters. It considers thermal stresses and the time-dependent stresses produced by creep and shrinkage of concrete and relaxation of prestressed steel. It also examines the effects of cracking and the means for its control. This text is universally applicable; no specific system of units is used in most solved examples. However, it is advantageous to use actual dimensions and forces on the structure in a small number of examples. These problems are set in SI units and Imperial units; the answers and the graphs related to these examples are given in the two systems. What’s New in This Edition: Presents a new chapter on recommended practice for design and construction of concrete water tanks and liquefied natural gas tanks Includes a companion Website providing computer programs CTW and SOR Provides material on CTW (Cylindrical Tank Walls); with simple input, it performs analysis for load combinations anticipated in the design of cylindrical walls with or without prestressing Contains the finite-element computer program SOR (Shells of Revolution); it performs analysis for design of axisymmetrical shells of general shapes This guide is an authoritative resource for the analysis and design of circular storage tanks and silos.

Download or read book Design and Construction of LNG Storage Tanks written by Josef Rötzer and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-08-15 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weltweit wird die Nutzung von Erdgas als Primärenergieträger noch über Jahrzehnte unverzichtbar bleiben. Dies gilt sowohl für Industrie- und Schwellenländer als auch für Entwicklungsländer. Bedingt durch die geringen Verunreinigungen gilt Erdgas unter den fossilen Brennstoffen als ein klimaschonender, da CO2-Emissionen armer, aber auch als ein bezahlbarer Energieträger. Um den Transport über weite Strecken wie auch über Ozeane zu ermöglichen - und damit eine wirtschaftliche und politische Alternative zu Pipelines zu erzeugen - wird das Gas unter erheblicher Volumenreduktion verflüssigt und mit Schiffen transportiert. An den Export- und Importhäfen sind Flüssiggastanks zur temporären Lagerung und zur weiteren Nutzung erforderlich. Die Tendenz zu kleineren Verflüssigungs- bzw. Verdampfungsanlagen mit den zugehörigen Lagertanks für die Nutzung als Schiffstreibstoff hat neue Marktteilnehmer hervorgebracht, die oftmals noch nicht über die erforderliche Erfahrung und technische Kompetenz verfügen. Der Verweis auf alle vorhandenen Normen reicht nicht aus, um widerspruchsfreie und dem Stand der Technik entsprechende Vorgaben und Anforderungen zu definieren. Durch die Umstellung auf europäische Normung wurden die Überarbeitung und Anpassung der vorhandenen nationalen Normen auf einen europäischen Standard unumgänglich. Komitees und Normenausschüsse auf nationaler und internationaler Ebene haben die Arbeit aufgenommen, um die Normenreihe EN 14620 zu aktualisieren und zu ergänzen. Aber auch in den USA werden die entsprechenden Vorschriften aktualisiert. Die Überarbeitung der 2011 erstmals erschienenen amerikanischen Vorschrift des American Concrete Institute ACI 376 "Requirements for Design and Construction of Concrete Structures for the Containment of Refrigerated Liquefied Gases" wird im Frühjahr 2019 abgeschlossen und die Vorschrift mit detaillierten Angaben zu Planung und Ausführung im Herbst veröffentlicht. Das vorliegende Buch gibt einen Überblick über den Stand der Technik hinsichtlich Planung und Ausführung von Flüssigerdgastanks (LNG-Tanks). Da die Thematik sehr umfangreich und vielschichtig ist, wird hier eine Einführung in die einzelnen Bereiche gegeben, wie zum Beispiel Anforderungen und Auslegung im Betriebszustand, thermische Auslegung, Flüssigkeits- und Gasdruckprüfung, Untersuchung des Baugrunds und zulässige Setzungen, Berechnung und Modellierung der Betonstruktur sowie die besonderen Einwirkungen aus Feuer, Explosion und Impact. Auch die dynamische Berechnung mit der Theorie der schwappenden Flüssigkeit wird dargestellt.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seismic Design and Analysis of Tanks A detailed view on the effects of seismic activity on tank structures As the use of above-ground and underground storage tanks (ASTs and USTs) continues to grow—with approximately 545,000 in the USA alone—the greatest threat to ASTs and USTs is earthquakes, causing the contamination of groundwater, a vital source of drinking water throughout the world. These tanks suffer a great deal of strain during an earthquake, as a complicated pattern of stress affects them, such that poorly designed tanks have leaked, buckled, or even collapsed during seismic events. Furthermore, in oil and gas industrial plants, the risk of damage is even more critical due to the effects of explosion, collapse, and air or soil contamination by chemical fluid spillages. Seismic Design and Analysis of Tanks provides the first in-depth discussion of the principles and applications of shell structure design and earthquake engineering analyses focused on tank structures, and it explains how these methodologies can help prevent the destruction of ASTs and USTs during earthquakes. Providing a thorough examination of the design, analysis, and performance of steel, reinforced concrete, and precast tanks, this book takes a look at tanks that are above-ground, underground, or elevated, anchored and unanchored, and rigid or flexible, and evaluates the efficacy of each method during times of seismic shaking—and it does so without getting bogged down in impenetrable mathematics and theory. Seismic Design and Analysis of Tanks readers will also find: A global approach to the best analytical and practical solutions available in each region: discussion of the latest US codes and standards from the American Society of Civil Engineers (ACSE 7), the American Concrete Institute (ACI 350,3, 371.R), the American Water Works Association (AWWA D100, D110, D115), and the American Petroleum Institute (API 650) an overview of the European codes and standards, including Eurocode 8-4 and CEN-EN 14015 Hundreds of step-by-step equations, accompanied by illustrations Photographs illustrating real-world damage to tanks caused by seismic events Perfect for practising structural engineers, geotechnical engineers, civil engineers, and engineers of all kinds who are responsible for the design, analysis, and performance of tanks and their foundations—as well as students studying engineering—Seismic Design and Analysis of Tanks is a landmark text, the first work of its kind to deal with the seismic engineering performance of all types of storage tanks.
