Abstract

South Korea is the world's second-largest importer of LNG and possess about 70 tanks which are in operation by 2017. Thirty years as the design warranty period have exceeded since LNG storage tanks as the core facility of LNG industry were constructed in 1986. The LNG storage tank is under precision safety diagnosis from 2014 due to urban gas business act amendment. There is no criteria of condition evaluation for outer tank of LNG storage tank at the time of precision safety diagnosis. Through analysis of structural characteristic of LNG storage tank and civil structure condition evaluation standards, the criteria of condition evaluation for main members was developed. The criteria of objective condition evaluation can improve safety and reliability of LNG storage tank and suggest matenance criteria.

한국은 세계 2위의 LNG 수입국이고 2017년 기준 약 70기의 LNG 저장탱크가 상업운전 중에 있다. LNG산업의 핵심설비인 LNG 저장탱크는 1986년 상업운전 이후 설계보증 연한인 30년이 경과 되면서 도시가스사업법 개정을 통해 2014년부터 정밀안전진단을 수행하고 있다. 정밀안전진단 시 LNG 저장탱크의 외조 콘크리트에 대해서 상태평가를 할 수 있는 기준이 부재한 상태이다. LNG 저장탱크의 구조적 특성과 기존 토목구조물 상태평가 기준 분석을 통해 저장탱크의 대표부재에 대한 상태평가기준을 개발하였다. 개발된 객관적 상태평가기준은 LNG 저장탱크의 안전성 및 신뢰성을 향상시키고 보수기준을 제시할 수 있다.
