... results would provide the turnaround team with firm scope for repair in order to resintate the bottom plate and avoid discovery scope. Two Finite Element (FE) models were created to account for hotspot temperature conditions measured at November 2018 and June 2019. Each of these FE models involved...

... Under severe seismic design conditions for LNG storage tanks in recent years, detail verification of soundness of structure including uplift behavior of bottom plate has been required. The design state is used to be analyzed statically as if the maximum dynamic pressure represents reciprocal...

... the stress of the bottom plate. In the case of establishing the bottom plate model with the uplift, several properties have to be considered, such as tank dimension and plate thickness, magnitude and distribution of dynamic liquid pressure that is affected by width and height of the uplift, elasticity...
