Objective
To consider world experience with all forms of hydrocarbon storage facilities, with a view to assessing how the particular merits of concrete could best be applied for the safe containment of liquids at atmospheric, and at low and cryogenic temperatures.
It was concluded that there was good structural argument for the safe containment of cryogenic liquids using a single-wall prestressed concrete tank principe. It is argued that liquid containment and security against external forces should be done by separate structures, hence a twin-wall installation is necessary. The proposed "phase 2" of project is a design in which the inner wall has nominal strengh, compared with that which surrounds it.
A detailed literature appraisal was first made and contact established with tank owning and operating companies. Reported incidents were assesses and considered in terms of their significance for a variety of tank designs in prestressed concrete using present day methods, materials and safety criteria.
