Simulation Results

Considering the disastrous consequences of the oil tank failure, it is of great importance to ensure the safety of the large-scale oil tank under earthquakes. This study sheds light on investigating the dynamic response of a prototype 100,000 m3 cylindrical oil-storage tank under various seismic excitations. The foundation of the tank is also considered in this study so that the obtained results are closer to the reality. Shaking table tests are conducted using a 1/20 scale liquid-tank-foundation system under various seismic excitations. The test results reveal that the dynamic responses such as accelerations and the deformation of the test specimen in the major and minor vibration directions do not differ significantly. Finite element models are constructed for the test specimen and the prototype tank and are validated through comparing the simulation results with the test data. The simulation results suggest that it might be necessary to stiffen the locations on the tank wall where the thickness of the tank wall changes because the stresses at such locations may be close or even exceed the yield strength of the structural steel under severe earthquakes.

Important Significance

The composite foundation fully takes the carrying capacity of pile and soil into account, which decreases the settlement of oil storage tank foundation and differential settlement of oil storage tank bottom apparently. Analyzing the changes of stress and settlement under different conditions and optimizing the parameters of pile have important significance in engineering practice. In this paper, with an actual project of oil storage tank for background, basing on the Drucker-Prager yield criterion, the FEM model of composite foundation has been carried out by using ANSYS procedure. And with simulating the status of composite foundation under the working load, the project properties of composite foundation are investigated. Further more, analysis on the impacts of different pile parameters on stress and settlement of composite foundation have been carried out. In the end, the optimization scheme of composite foundation design has been proposed.
