Strengthening of Cylindrical Steel Water Tank Under the Seismic Loading

Abstract

Cylindrical steel tanks are widely used to water store and for cooling in nuclear power plants. The seismic behaviour of liquid storage tanks is very complicated due to the hydrodynamic pressures of the fluids in them. In this paper, the epoxy-carbon coating method is suggested to improve of seismic performance of cylindrical steel tanks. Composite epoxy-carbon materials are widely used for winding thin walled cylindrical steel structures. After tank had coated with epoxy–carbon composite material, it was observed that Equivalent (von-Mises) stresses significantly decreased. The maximum hoop stress in the unprotected tank is 81.92 MPa, while the maximum stress is reduced to 44.77 MPa after it was coated with the epoxy-carbon.
