Cracking Response of a Concrete Wall to Cryogenic Temperature

Abstract:

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) has the cryogenic temperature of –160°C to ensure the minimum storage volume when stored in LNG containers. Among various types of LNG storage containers, the full containment above-ground type with a double safety system (outer concrete tank and inner steel tank) is very common. Normally, the inner tank contains LNG, but when the LNG leaks from the inner tank, the outer concrete tank comes into contact with LNG. Under this accidental case, it is indispensable for the outer wall to keep the liquid tightness in order to safely contain the LNG before taking any countermeasure. It is, therefore, proposed to take up a heat conduction problem using the finite element method with the ANSYS software to obtain temperature distribution data of a concrete wall at cryogenic temperatures.
