Book excerpt: The primary objective of this project is to study the utility of the simplified analogs for the analysis and design of liquid storage tanks constructed using conventional and protective systems. A vertical, cylindrical LNG tank that could be constructed in a region of moderate to high seismicity is evaluated using response-history analysis. Data reported and statistically sorted include (a) base shear, (b) global overturning moment, and (c) wave height in the tank (used for freeboard calculations). The Finite Element (FE) method is utilized to model the tank, as well as the contained liquid. ANSYS, a finite element code that combines structural and fluid simulation capabilities, is used to model the structure in the three-dimensional space and perform modal and nonlinear seismic analysis. The tank is considered to have a fixed base, for the conventional design, and to respond within the linear elastic limit. Seismic isolation is implemented by introducing horizontal inelastic beam elements between the base and the ground. The responses of the conventional and isolated tanks are also reported and compared, for the two earthquake levels, and the effect of seismic isolation is investigated. (Abstract shortened by UMI.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worldwide, the use of natural gas as a primary energy source will remain vital for decades to come. This applies to industrialized, emerging countries and developing countries. Owing to the low level of impurities, natural gas is considered to be a climate-friendly fossil fuel because of the low CO2 emissions, but is at the same time an affordable source of energy. In order to enable transport over long distances and oceans (and hence create an economic and political alternative to pipelines) , the gas is liquefied, which is accompanied by a considerable reduction in volume, and then transported by ship. Thus, at international ports, many LNG tanks are required for temporary storage and further use. The trend towards smaller liquefaction and regasification plants with associated storage tanks for marine fuel applications has attracted new players in this market who often do not yet have the necessary experience and technical expertise. It is not sufficient to refer to all existing technical standards when defining consistent state-of-the-art specifications and requirements. The switch to European standardisation has made it necessary to revise and adapt existing national codes to match European standards. Technical committees at national and international level have begun their work of updating and completing the EN 14620 series. In the USA, too, the corresponding regulations are also being updated. The revision of American Concrete Institute standard ACI 376 Requirements for Design and Construction of Concrete Structures for the Containment of Refrigerated Liquefied Gases, first published in 2011, will be completed in the spring of 2019, and the final version, published in autumn 2019. This book provides an overview of the state of the art in the design and construction of liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanks. Since the topic is very extensive and complex, an introduction to all aspects is provided, e.g. requirements and design for operating conditions, thermal design, hydrostatic and pneumatic tests, soil surveys and permissible settlement, modelling of and calculations for the concrete structure, and the actions due to fire, explosion and impact. Dynamic analysis and the theory of sloshing liquid are also presented.
Download or read book Evaluation of Decommissioned Liquefied Natural Gas Storage Tanks at Chula Vista California written by James P. Lewis and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: San Diego Gas & Electric, SDG&E, built two of the first liquefied natural gas, LNG, peak shaving plants in the U.S. These plants were located on a common facility near SDG&E's South Bay power plant in Chula Vista, California, U.S.A., about 10 miles south of San Diego. The first plant went into service in 1965. A second liquefaction plant and storage tank were completed in 1970. These two plants were decommissioned in 1985 as a result of seismic evaluation based on the current perception of appropriate seismic design criteria for the site and on recent advances in dynamic structural analysis methods. The decision was made to dismantle the plants. The dismantling covered the period of April to September 1990. This publication provides the repot of decommissioning and dismantling of these facilities.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation includes three major components. First, ratios between median values and the associated standard deviations for different definitions of the horizontal component of ground motions in Central and Eastern North America are developed using a subset of the NGA-East database. While the most recent studies produced similar results using different subsets of the NGA-West2 database, it is possible that such directionality results may differ for other earthquake datasets and be region specific. The computed median ratios are similar to the ratios provided in recent studies for other regions with a shift in some period ranges with noticeable differences between the standard deviations. Second, a comparison of a hybrid approach and a fully probabilistic approach for incorporating site effects into a probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) is presented. In the employed hybrid approach the amplification factors are computed by performing equivalent linear site response analysis. The considered fully probabilistic approach is characterized by higher levels of sophistication in which the rock hazard is convolved with the probability density function of the amplification functions to calculate the surface ground motions. The uncertainties associated with the site characterization is addressed via Monte Carlo randomizations. To fulfill the scope of this study, the employed approaches is highlighted focusing on performing a site-specific PSHA for a Liquid Natural Gas tank located in the Gulf Coast region. Finally, a new ground motion prediction model is developed for the response spectral ratio of vertical-to-horizontal (V/H) components of earthquakes for the Gulf Coast region. The proposed V/H ratio model has the advantage of considering the magnitude, source to site distance, and the shear-wave velocity of soil deposits in the upper 30 m of the site (Vs30) for the peak ground acceleration (PGA), and a wide range of spectral periods. The model is based on a comprehensive set of regression analyses of the newly compiled NGA-East database of available recordings with the moment magnitudes M ≥ 3.4 and the rupture distances RRup
