In technical branches, such as chemical or petroleum industries, cylindrical steel tanks are essential structures used for storage of liquid products. Therefore, their safety and reliability is essential, because any failure might have dangerous consequences, in extreme cases may even lead to an environmental disaster. The aim of the presented paper is to show the results of the modal analysis concerning the cylindrical steel tank with self-supported roof which has been constructed in northern Poland. The investigation was carried out with the use of the FEM commercial computer program Abaqus. The values of natural frequencies, as well as the natural modes, for different levels of liquid filling (empty tank, partly filled and tank fully filled) were determined in the study. The results of the study clearly indicate that the increase in the liquid level leads to the substantial decrease in the natural frequencies of the structure.

And Storage

A significant part of the oil consumed in the world is transported from production and processing sites to consumers via tankers and pipelines. According to experts' forecasts, the demand for oil and petroleum products in the coming years will be significantly higher than in 2020. In Russia, the oil transportation market is developing in several directions. The main directions are investing in pipeline transport and improving the design of tanks for storing oil and petroleum products. The article considers the contribution of the great Russian engineer V.G. Shukhov to the solution of the problem of oil transportation and storage and in general to the development of the oil industry. In the article "Oil Pipelines" (1884) and in the book "Pipelines and their application in the oil industry" (1894), V.G. Shukhov gave precise mathematical formulae for describing the processes of oil and fuel oil flowing through pipelines, creating a classical theory of oil pipelines. He is the author of the projects of the first Russian main pipelines: Baku-Batumi with a length of 883 km (1907) and Grozny-Tuapse with a length of 618 km (1928). Shukhov V.G. designed and then supervised the construction of oil pipelines of the companies "Branobel", "G.M. Lianozova and sons" and the world's first heated fuel oil pipeline. Working in the oil fields in Baku, Shukhov V.G. developed the basics of lifting and pumping oil products, proposed a method of lifting oil using compressed air — airlift, developed a calculation method and technology for the construction of cylindrical steel tanks for oil storage facilities.

Cylindrical Steel

In this paper, a fluid-structure interaction (FSI) algorithm of the finite element method (FEM), which can take into account the effects of geometric and material nonlinearities of the tank, buckling of the tank shell, and nonlinear sloshing behavior of the contained liquid, is utilized to evaluate the actual behavior of broad cylindrical steel tanks when subjected to strong earthquake motions. In order to clarify a key question—whether anchoring would prevent earthquake damage to tanks—numerical analyses are carried out on the same tank model having two different support conditions: anchored and unanchored. In addition to two horizontal components of ground motion, the vertical component is also taken into account in order to determine the relative importance of vertical ground motion in the behavior of tanks. The consistency of provisions presented in current design codes and numerical analysis results is evaluated.

Structure Result

Deformation of liquid storage tanks and the interaction between fluid and structure result in a variety of possible failure mechanisms during earthquakes. Among all failure modes, base-anchor failure is this paper’s focus. Three cylindrical steel tanks with different H/D were selected to investigate dynamic loadings on the tank seismic responses. The added-mass method was used in the finite element modeling of the steel tanks and fluid, and numerical analyses were performed. The added-mass method results were compared to conventional method outcomes using two or more lumped-mass and equivalent springs for tank-liquid simulation (Housner method). It was found that the added-mass method results in greater forces on the anchors in comparison to the lumped-mass method.
