Static Simulation on Wind-Induced Buckling of Large LNG Tank

Abstract

Several wind pressure distribution forms of domestic and foreign large LNG storage tanks are introduced in this paper, and the similarities and differences among them are gotten by comparative analysis. The wind pressure distribution of the analytic form used by foreigners and the discrete values given in building structure load specification are substantially the same, but the discrete values used in our specification are partial in safety. Then large LNG tank wind-induced static buckling analysis is developed, and these can laid the foundation for the further research on wind resistance of LNG storage tank.
