TY - JFULL AU - Sungnam Hong and Sun-Kyu Park and Jieun Jeong and Jinwoong Choi PY - 2013/3/ TI - Performance Evaluation of an Aboveground LNG Storage Tank Cover using Nondestructive and Destructive Tests T2 - International Journal of Civil and Environmental Engineering SP - 212 EP - 219 VL - 7 SN - 1307-6892 UR - https://publications.waset.org/pdf/8095 PU - World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology NX - Open Science Index 74, 2013 N2 - In this study, a new procedure for inspecting damages on LNG storage tanks was proposed with the use of structural diagnostic techniques: i.e., nondestructive inspection techniques such as macrography, the hammer sounding test, the Schmidt hammer test, and the ultrasonic pulse velocity test, and destructive inspection techniques such as the compressive strength test, the chloride penetration test, and the carbonation test. From the analysis of all the test results, it was concluded that the LNG storage tank cover was in good condition. Such results were also compared with the Korean concrete standard specifications and design values. In addition, the remaining life of the LNG storage tank was estimated by using existing models. Based on the results, an LNG storage tank cover performance evaluation procedure was suggested. ER -
