Safety evaluation method for rock cavern gas storage with inner liner based on physical model test
By establishing a physical model and installing sensors to monitor the stress state of the gas storage tank with inner rock lining, and calculating the overload factor, the problem that existing technologies cannot evaluate the overall stress state of the composite structure of sealing layer-lining-surrounding rock is solved, and more accurate safety evaluation and engineering safety are achieved.

AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies cannot accurately reflect the overall stress state of each material in the composite structure of the sealing layer-lining-surrounding rock of the gas storage tank with inner rock lining, which makes it impossible to effectively evaluate its safety.
By establishing a physical model based on the principle of similarity, installing pressure sensors and state sensors, gradually increasing the internal pressure, monitoring the loading internal pressure when the lining cracks, sealing layer defects, sealing layer failure, and the overall large deformation of the composite structure are observed, calculating the overload factor, and using the overload factor to evaluate the overall safety.
It provides a more accurate overall safety assessment of the gas storage facility with an inner rock cavern, enabling the identification of key issues in complex environments and improving the safety of engineering operations.
