Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention is made of FRP liquid storage tank Deterioration diagnosis method and FRP liquid storage tank This relates to a method for evaluating repair plans. [Background technology]

[0002] BACKGROUND ART Tanks made of fiber-reinforced plastics (hereinafter referred to as FRP), which are composite materials of resin and reinforcing fibers, have been well known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). There are also liquid storage tanks for storing chemical liquids such as strong acids like hydrochloric acid and strong bases like caustic soda. These liquid storage tanks are usually made of corrosion-resistant FRP. The corrosion-resistant FRP has a reinforcing layer and a corrosion-resistant layer that is fixed to the inner surface of the reinforcing layer and forms the liquid-contacting surface. The reinforcing layer, also called the outer layer, is a layer that provides the liquid storage tank with appropriate structural strength. The corrosion-resistant layer is a layer that provides the liquid storage tank with appropriate corrosion resistance.

[0003] In FRP liquid storage tanks, corrosion caused by chemicals progresses gradually over time. Therefore, deterioration diagnosis of the liquid storage tank is carried out. Deterioration diagnosis is generally carried out by visual inspection and hardness measurement. In the visual inspection, the inspector evaluates, for example, the degree of cracks and fissures in the wall that makes up the liquid storage tank, the degree of discoloration and decolorization, the degree of elution, etc. on a four-point scale. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-247468 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, FRP liquid storage tanks have the characteristic that liquids such as hydrochloric acid penetrate their walls. As a result, walls that appear to be sufficiently strong may actually be weakened due to deterioration. For this reason, the conventional deterioration diagnosis method using visual inspection has the problem that the results of deterioration diagnosis vary depending on the inspector.

[0006] Furthermore, when repairing a deteriorated wall, the entire corrosion-resistant layer and a portion of the thickness of the reinforcing layer are removed by grinding, and then the reinforcing layer and the corrosion-resistant layer are adhered to the removed wall in that order. In this case, in order to effectively repair the wall, it is necessary to evaluate the appropriateness of the thickness of the reinforcing layer to be added to the removed wall before the repair work is carried out.

[0021] An embodiment of a method for diagnosing deterioration of corrosion-resistant FRP equipment and a method for evaluating a repair plan for corrosion-resistant FRP equipment will be described below with reference to Figures 1 to 6. In this embodiment, an FRP liquid storage tank will be described as an example of the corrosion-resistant FRP equipment.

[0022] <Configuration and design specifications of the liquid storage tank> As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the FRP liquid storage tank of this embodiment (hereinafter referred to as liquid storage tank 10) is a cylindrical tank. Liquid storage tank 10 of this embodiment stores hydrochloric acid with a concentration of 35%, but the liquid stored is not limited to hydrochloric acid and may be other liquids. Furthermore, although liquid storage tank 10 of this embodiment is installed outdoors, liquid storage tank 10 may also be installed indoors.

[0023] The side plate 12 is cylindrical and has a central axis extending in the vertical direction. The liquid storage tank 10 has a bottom plate 11 that closes the lower opening of the side plate 12, a top plate 14 that closes the upper opening of the side plate 12, and accessories 15 such as handrails.

[0024] The bottom plate 11 of this embodiment has a flat plate shape. The shape of the top plate 14 in this embodiment is a 10% dished end plate. Hereinafter, the bottom plate 11, the side plates 12, and the top plate 14 may be collectively referred to as a wall portion 30. The top plate 14 and the accessories 15 may be collectively referred to as a roof portion 13.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 2, the side plate 12 is made up of a plurality of stages (five stages in this embodiment) of regions 21 to 25, each having a predetermined height. 4, the wall portion 30 has a reinforcing layer 31 and a corrosion-resistant layer 32 provided inside the reinforcing layer 31. The reinforcing layer 31 has a well-known structure, for example, made of a thermosetting resin and glass fiber. The corrosion-resistant layer 32 has a well-known structure, for example, made of a thermosetting resin and glass fiber.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 2, the height (dt) of the side plate 12 of the liquid storage tank 10 is 6450 (mm). The spatial height (de), which is the height from the highest liquid level in the liquid storage tank 10 to the upper end of the side plate 12, is 200 (mm).

[0027] As shown in FIG. 3, the inner diameter (D) of the side plate 12 of the liquid storage tank 10 is 3200 (mm). The actual capacity of the liquid storage tank 10 is 51.84 (m 3 ) Liquid specific gravity (ρ w ) is 1.2.

[0028] FPR specific gravity (ρ m ) is 1.65. The design pressure (P) is 0 (kPa) for both positive and negative pressures. The design temperature (T) is room temperature.

[0029] The fixed load of the bottom plate 11 is 1,716 (N). The fixed load of the side plate 12 is 11,376 (N). The fixed load of the top plate 14 is 1,765 (N).

[0030] The fixed load of the tabletop attachment is 3,923 (N). The fixed load of the side panel attachment is 2,452 (N). The total fixed load of the bottom plate 11, side plates 12, top plate 14, top plate attachments, and side plate attachments, that is, the fixed load of the entire liquid storage tank 10, is 21,231 (N).

[0031] The snow load (ws) is 4,732 (N). The snow load (ws) is calculated using (Formula 1). In (Formula 1), "sp" is the standard snow load, which is 588 (Pa). Also, "r" is 1 / 2 of the inner diameter (D), which is 1600 (mm).

[0032]

[0033] Table 1 shows the height (y) from the lower end of each of the regions 21-25 of the side plate 12 to the upper end of the side plate, the total pressure (P+p) acting on each of the regions 21-25 of the side plate 12, the hydrostatic pressure (p), and the liquid weight (wo) in each of the regions 21-25 of the side plate 12. The total pressure (P+p) is the sum of the design pressure (P) and the hydrostatic pressure (p). In this embodiment, since the design pressure (P) is 0 (kPa) as described above, the total pressure (P+p) is equal to the hydrostatic pressure (p).

[0034] [Table 1]

[0035] Table 2 shows the height (y) from the lower end of each region 21 to 25 of the side panel 12 to the upper end of the side panel, and the thickness (t t ), the thickness (c) of the corrosion-resistant layer 32, the total thickness (ta ), and weight w1 (N).

[0036] [Table 2]

[0037] As shown in Figure 4, the total thickness (t a ) is the thickness (t t ) and the thickness (c) of the corrosion-resistant layer 32. In this embodiment, the total pressure (P+p) increases in the lower regions 21 to 25, so the thickness (t t ) is set large.

[0038] <Deterioration diagnosis method for liquid storage tanks> The deterioration diagnosis method is a method for diagnosing the deterioration state of the wall portion 30, and includes an acquisition step, a measurement step, and a determination step.

[0039] (Test piece acquisition process) In the test piece obtaining step, a part of the wall portion 30 is cut out to obtain a test piece. (Measurement process) In the measurement step, the mechanical property value (X) of the test piece is measured. Note that, for the mechanical property value of the wall portion 30 at the time of new construction, a small sample having the same configuration as the wall portion 30 is prepared, and the mechanical property value (X) is measured using the sample.

[0040] Since the liquid storage tank 10 of this embodiment is a cylindrical tank, the allowable tensile stress (ft) and the tensile modulus of elasticity (Et) are used as the mechanical property values ​​(X). Table 3 shows the allowable tensile stress (ft) and tensile modulus of elasticity (Et) for each of the bottom plate 11, top plate 14, side plate 12 (axial direction), and side plate 12 (circumferential direction) at the time of new construction.

[0041] [Table 3]

[0042] Table 4 shows the allowable tensile stress (ft) and the tensile modulus of elasticity (Et) of each of the bottom plate 11, the top plate 14, the side plate 12 (axial direction), and the side plate 12 (circumferential direction) when deteriorated.

[0043] [Table 4]

[0044] Hereinafter, the allowable tensile stress (ft) may be referred to as the long-term allowable tensile stress (ft). The liquid storage tank 10 has a structure in which strip-shaped mats (not shown) containing reinforcing fibers are attached via an adhesive so as to extend in the circumferential direction and are layered in the radial direction. As described above, the thickness of the reinforcing layer 31 is made different by varying the number of mats layered in each of the regions 21 to 25 of the side plate 12. Therefore, the allowable tensile stress (ft) of the side plate 12 differs between the axial direction and the circumferential direction. Hereinafter, the allowable tensile stress in the axial direction will be referred to as the axial tensile allowable stress (ft L ) and the allowable tensile stress in the circumferential direction is set to the allowable tensile stress in the circumferential direction (ft C )

[0045] Similarly, the tensile elastic modulus (Et) of the side plate 12 differs between the axial direction and the circumferential direction. Therefore, the axial tensile elastic modulus is defined as the axial tensile elastic modulus (Et L ) and the circumferential tensile modulus of elasticity is the circumferential tensile modulus of elasticity (Et C )

[0046] (Judgment process) The determination step is performed based on the mechanical property value (X) measured in the measurement step, the thickness (t t ), and the thickness of the reinforcing layer 31 (t t ) is used to determine whether the wall 30 can withstand the force acting on the wall 30 in the usage environment. The determination step also determines, for each of the multiple stages of regions 21 to 25, whether the side plate 12 can withstand the force acting on the side plate 12 in the usage environment.

[0047] The corrosion-resistant layer 32 is a corrosion barrier and does not contribute to the mechanical strength of the wall 30. Therefore, the thickness of the wall 30 is calculated by subtracting the thickness of the reinforcing layer 31 (t t ) only. (1. Diagnosis of deterioration of the tabletop) (1-1. Diagnosis of whether the tabletop can withstand internal pressure) The minimum thickness (t min ) is calculated using (Equation 2) based on the long-term tensile allowable stress (ft) of the top plate 14, the design pressure (P), the inner radius (R) of the center of the top plate 14, the head plate coefficient (M), and the thickness (c) of the corrosion-resistant layer 32.

[0048] The head coefficient (M) is calculated based on the inner radius (ro) of the corners of the top plate 14 and the inner radius (R) of the center of the top plate 14 using (Equation 3).

[0049]

number

[0050] In the determination step, the total thickness (t a ) is the minimum thickness (t min ), it is determined that the top plate 14 can withstand the internal pressure. The total thickness of the top plate 14 at the time of installation (t a ) is 9 (mm) (see Table 2).

[0051] In this embodiment, the design pressure (P) is "0" as described above. Therefore, whether it is a new installation or a deteriorated installation, the minimum thickness (t min ) is "2 (mm)". Therefore, the thickness of the top plate 14 (t a ) is the minimum thickness (t min ), it is determined that the top plate 14 can withstand the internal pressure.

[0052] (1-2. Check whether the tabletop can withstand external pressure such as snow accumulation) The external pressure buckling strength (Pcr) of the top plate 14 is determined by the outer radius (Ro) of the top plate 14, the tensile modulus of elasticity (Et), and the thickness (t t ), and the safety factor (S), it is calculated using (Equation 4).

[0053]

number

[0054] Here, in the determination step, if the external pressure buckling strength (Pcr) of the top plate 14 is greater than the design external pressure (Po), it is determined that the top plate 14 can withstand the external pressure. The thickness (t t ) is 7 (mm) (see Table 2).

[0055] The outer radius (Ro) of the top plate 14 is 3,209 (mm), and the tensile modulus of elasticity (Et) at the time of installation is 12,480 (N / mm 2 ), and the safety factor (S) is 2.5. In addition, the design extraneous pressure (Po) is 0.0012 (Mpa). Therefore, the external pressure buckling strength (Pcr) of the top plate 14 at the time of new construction is 0.00855 (MPa), which is greater than the design extraneous pressure (Po), and it is therefore determined that the top plate 14 can withstand the external pressure.

[0056] On the other hand, the tensile modulus of elasticity (Et) after deterioration is 6,500 (N / mm 2 ) Therefore, the external pressure buckling strength (Pcr) of the top plate 14 in the deteriorated state is 0.00445 (MPa), which is greater than the external design pressure (Po), and therefore it is determined that the top plate 14 can withstand the external pressure.

[0057] (2. Diagnosis of deterioration of side panels) (2-1. Minimum thickness required for side panels) (2-1-1. Diagnosis of whether the side panels can withstand internal pressure) The minimum axial thickness (t L) is the allowable axial tensile stress (ft L ), the maximum operating pressure (Pi) in each of the regions 21 to 25, the inner diameter (D) of the liquid storage tank 10, and the thickness (c) of the corrosion-resistant layer 32 in each of the regions 21 to 25, are calculated using (Equation 5).

[0058] In addition, the minimum thickness in the circumferential direction (t C ) is the circumferential tensile allowable stress (ft C ), the maximum operating pressure (Pi) in each of the regions 21 to 25, the inner diameter (D) of the liquid storage tank 10, and the thickness (c) of the corrosion-resistant layer 32 in each of the regions 21 to 25, are calculated using (Equation 6).

[0059]

number

[0060] The maximum operating pressure (Pi) in each of the regions 21 to 25 is the design pressure (P), the liquid level (h j ), specific gravity of the liquid ρ w Based on this, it is calculated using (Equation 7).

[0061]

number

[0062] In the determination step, the total thickness (t a ) is the minimum axial thickness (t L ) and the allowable tensile stress in the circumferential direction (ft C ), it is determined that the side panel 12 can withstand the internal pressure.

[0063] Table 5 shows the height (y) from the bottom end of each of the regions 21 to 25 of the side plate 12 to the top end of the side plate 12, the height (h j ), maximum operating pressure in each area 21 to 25 (P i), allowable axial tensile stress at new construction (ftL), minimum axial thickness (t L ), circumferential tensile allowable stress (ft C ), minimum thickness in the circumferential direction (t C ), total thickness (t a ), and the judgment results are shown.

[0064] [Table 5]

[0065] Table 6 shows the height (y) from the bottom end of each of the regions 21 to 25 of the side plate 12 to the top end of the side plate 12, the height (h j ), maximum operating pressure in each area 21 to 25 (P i ), allowable axial tensile stress at degradation (ftL), minimum axial thickness (t L ), circumferential tensile allowable stress (ft C ), minimum thickness in the circumferential direction (t C ), total thickness (t a ), and the judgment results are shown.

[0066] [Table 6]

[0067] At the time of new construction, for all areas 21 to 25, a >ft L , and t a >ft C Therefore, the result is "OK". Even during deterioration, t a >ft L , and t a >ft C Therefore, the result is "OK".

[0068] (2-1-2. Diagnosis of whether the side panels can withstand external pressure such as wind) The external pressure buckling strength (Pcr) of the side plate 12 is determined by the Poisson's ratio (v) of the FRP material constituting the liquid storage tank 10, the circumferential tensile elastic modulus (Et C ), the height of the side panel 12 (dt), the thickness of the reinforcing layer 31 constituting the side panel 12 (t t ) and the radius of curvature (r) of the side plate 12, it is calculated by (Equation 8).

[0069] The coefficient (Z) is determined by the thickness (t t ), the radius of curvature (r) of the side plate 12, the height (dt) of the side plate 12, and the Poisson's ratio (v) of the FRP, and is calculated using (Equation 9).

[0070]

number

[0071] Here, in the determination step, if the external pressure buckling strength (Pcr) of the side plate 12 is greater than the design external pressure (P), it is determined that the side plate 12 can withstand the external pressure. The Poisson's ratio (v) of the FRP material of this embodiment is 0.3.

[0072] The axial tensile elastic modulus of the side panel 12 at the time of installation (Et L ) is 13,040(N / mm 2 ) The height (dt) of the side plate 12 is 6,450 (mm). The thickness (t t The average value of ) is 5 (mm).

[0073] The radius of curvature (r) of the side plate 12 is 1,602 (mm). In addition, the non-design pressure (P) is 0.00094 (Mpa). The external pressure buckling strength (Pcr) of the side plate 12 at the time of new construction is 0.00162 (MPa), which is greater than the design external pressure (P), and therefore it is determined that the side plate 12 can withstand the external pressure.

[0074] On the other hand, the axial tensile modulus of elasticity (Et L ) is 8,900(N / mm 2 ) Therefore, the external pressure buckling strength (Pcr) of the side plate 12 in the deteriorated state is 0.00110 (MPa), which is greater than the design external pressure (P), and therefore it is determined that the side plate 12 can withstand the external pressure.

[0075] (2-2. Stresses in the side panels due to wind loads or earthquakes) (2-2-1. Axial buckling stress occurring in the side plate) In order to calculate the stress generated in the side plate 12, it is necessary to determine the overturning moment (M1) as will be described later.

[0076] The overturning moment (M1) used here is the larger of the overturning moment due to an earthquake (M1) and the overturning moment due to wind load such as a typhoon. In the case of the liquid storage tank 10, the overturning moment due to an earthquake (M1) is used because it is several times larger than the overturning moment due to wind load. Therefore, the procedure for calculating the overturning moment due to wind load will not be described here.

[0077] Table 7 shows the height of the center of gravity (H), weight of snow and work floor (wp), weight of the main body (wd), weight scale (w), floor load (Wv), horizontal force due to earthquake (F H ), and the earthquake-induced overturning moment (M1).

[0078] [Table 7]

[0079] As shown in FIG. 2, the height of the center of gravity (H) is the height from the bottom surface of the liquid storage tank 10 to the center position of each of the regions 21 to 25 in the height direction. The weight scale (w) is the sum of the weight of snow, work platform, etc. (wp) and the weight of the main body, etc. (wd).

[0080] Horizontal force due to earthquake (F H ) is the weight scale (w) and the seismic coefficient (kH ) is the product of In this embodiment, the seismic coefficient (k H ) is said to be 0.4 (equivalent to a seismic intensity of 6+ to 7-).

[0081] The earthquake-induced overturning moment (M1) is calculated by the weight scale (w) and the seismic coefficient (k H ) and the height of the center of gravity (H). The axial buckling stress (σ c1 ) is the stress (σ CH ), design vertical seismic coefficient (K MW ) vertical earthquake force on the side panel 12 (σ CV ), the stress (σ CO ), and the stress (σ P ) and is calculated using (Equation 10).

[0082] Here, the stress (σ CH ) is the inner diameter (D) of the side plate 12, the thickness (t t ), and design vertical seismic coefficient (K MW ) is calculated by (Equation 11) based on the overturning moment (M1') acting on the liquid storage tank 10 when full due to the earthquake load.

[0084] Design vertical seismic coefficient (K MW ) vertical earthquake force on the side panel 12 (σ CV ) is the design vertical seismic coefficient (K MW ) and the stress due to the weight of the roof part 13 (σ CO ) and is calculated using (Equation 13).

[0085] The stress (σ P ) is the thickness (t t ), the design internal pressure (P), and the inner diameter (D) of the side plate 12, and is calculated using (Equation 14).

[0086] In addition, the allowable buckling stress (σ K ) is the inner diameter (D) of the side plate 12, the axial tensile modulus of elasticity (Et L ), and the thickness (t t ) and is calculated using (Equation 15).

[0100] [Table 11]

[0101] As shown in Table 10, at the time of new construction, σ t1 ≦1.5ft L Therefore, the result is "OK". As shown in Table 11, during deterioration, σ t1 ≦1.5ft L Therefore, the result is "OK".

[0102] (2-2-3. Circumferential stress occurring in the side plate) The stress (σ Φ0 ) is the thickness (t t ), the inner diameter (D) of the side plate 12, and the sum of the hydrostatic pressure and the internal pressure (Pi), calculated by (Equation 17).

[0113] [Table 13]

[0114] As shown in Table 12, at the time of new installation, all of the regions 21 to 25 satisfy (Formula 21), (Formula 22), and (Formula 23), and therefore the judgment result is "OK." As shown in Table 13, in the deteriorated state, the second region 22 to the fifth region 25 satisfy (Formula 21), (Formula 22), and (Formula 23), and therefore the judgment result is "OK." On the other hand, the first region 21 does not satisfy (Formula 23), and therefore the judgment result is "NG."

[0115] <Repair of storage tank> If, in the aforementioned judgment process, it is judged that the wall portion 30 cannot withstand the forces acting on the wall portion 30 in the usage environment, i.e., if it is judged as "NG" in any of the judgment processes of this embodiment, the wall portion 30 is repaired as follows.

[0116] That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the entire corrosion-resistant layer 32 of the wall portion 30 and the thickness (t t 6, a reinforcing layer 131 and a corrosion-resistant layer 132 are sequentially added to the wall portion 30 after removal by bonding.

[0117] The preferred repair method is the fiber-reinforced plastic liquid storage tank repair method described in Japanese Patent No. 6527986, developed by the inventors of the present application. Specifically, the surface of the corrosion-resistant layer 32 is first polished. A dichloromethane-based solvent is then applied to the surface to dissolve the resin. The surface is then scratched with a jig to lift the fibers. The surface is then cleaned to remove residues, including dichloromethane and the dissolved resin. A new reinforcement layer 131 and a corrosion-resistant layer 132 are then sequentially bonded to the surface with an adhesive. The repair method is not limited to the above method.

[0118] <Repair plan evaluation method for liquid storage tanks> The repair plan evaluation method is a method for evaluating a repair plan prior to repairing the wall portion 30 described above.

[0119] In the following, the above-described determination step will be referred to as the first determination step. The repair plan evaluation method includes an existing thickness acquisition step, a post-repair thickness calculation step, a post-repair mechanical property value calculation step, and a second determination step.

[0120] In the existing thickness acquisition process, the thickness (t a ) and the thickness of the removed part t remBased on this, the thickness of the reinforcement layer 31 after removal, which is the existing thickness (t o ) is acquired (see FIGS. 5 and 6).

In the post-repair thickness calculation step of this embodiment, the post-repair thickness (t comp ) is calculated.

[0136] [Table 19]

[0137] In each of the subsequent repair plan evaluations, it is determined whether the repaired wall portion 130 can withstand the forces acting on the wall portion 30 in the usage environment when repairs are carried out according to the plans exemplified in Tables 14 to 19.

[0138] (3. Evaluation of the tabletop repair plan) (3-1. Evaluation of whether the repaired top plate can withstand internal pressure) The minimum thickness (t min ) is calculated by (Equation 2) as described in (1-1).

[0139] Here, in the second determination step, similarly to the first determination step described in (1-1), the total thickness (t a ) is the minimum thickness (t min ), it is determined that the top plate 14 can withstand the internal pressure.

[0140] The total thickness of the top plate 14 after repair (t a ) is 10 (mm) (see Table 2). In this embodiment, the design pressure (P) is "0" as described above. Therefore, the minimum thickness (t min ) is "2 (mm)". Therefore, the thickness of the top plate 14 (t a ) is the minimum thickness (t min ), it is determined that the repaired top plate 14 can withstand the internal pressure.

[0141] (3-2. Evaluation of whether the tabletop can withstand external pressure such as snow accumulation) The external pressure buckling strength (Pcr) of the top plate 14 is calculated by (Equation 4), as described in (1-2).

[0142] Here, in the second judgment process, as in the first judgment process described in (1-2.), if the external pressure buckling strength (Pcr) of the top plate 14 is greater than the design external pressure (Po), it is judged that the top plate 14 can withstand the external pressure.

[0143] The thickness (t comp =to+tn) is 8 (mm) (see Table 14). In addition, the tensile modulus of elasticity after repair (Et comp ) is 6,649 (N / mm 2) (see Table 16). Therefore, the external pressure buckling strength (Pcr) of the top plate 14 after repair is 0.00595 (MPa), which is greater than the design external pressure (Po), and it is therefore determined that the top plate 14 can withstand external pressure.

[0144] (4. Side Panel Repair Plan Evaluation) (4-1. Minimum thickness required for side panels) (4-1-1. Evaluation of whether the side panels can withstand internal pressure) The minimum axial thickness (t L ) is calculated using Equation 5, as described in (2-1-1).

[0145] In addition, the minimum thickness in the circumferential direction (t C ) is calculated using Equation 6, as described in (2-1-1). Here, in the second determination step, similarly to the first determination step described in (2-1-1), the total thickness (t a ) is the minimum axial thickness (t L ) and the allowable tensile stress in the circumferential direction (ft C ), it is determined that the side panel 12 can withstand the internal pressure.

[0147] [Table 20]

[0148] After repair, for all areas 21 to 25, t a >ft L , and t a >ft C Therefore, the result is "OK". (4-1-2. Evaluation of whether the side panels can withstand external pressure such as wind) The external pressure buckling strength (Pcr) of the side plate 12 is calculated by (Equation 8), as described in (2-1-2).

[0149] Furthermore, the coefficient (Z) is calculated using equation (9), as described in (2-1-2). Here, in the second judgment process, as in the first judgment process described in (2-1-2.), if the external pressure buckling strength (Pcr) of the side panel 12 is greater than the design external pressure (P), it is judged that the side panel 12 can withstand the external pressure.

[0150] Here, the axial tensile elastic modulus (Et L ) and the lowest value of each of the regions 21 to 25, 7,998 (N / mm 2 ) will be adopted. In addition, the thickness (t t ) is set to 6 (mm), which is the smallest value among the regions 21 to 25.

[0151] This means that if the condition that the external pressure buckling strength (Pcr) calculated using the minimum values ​​of the axial tensile elastic modulus (EtL) and the thickness of the reinforcing layer 31, 131 is greater than the design external pressure (P) is satisfied, then the axial tensile elastic modulus (Et L ) and the thickness (t t ) can also be considered to satisfy the condition.

[0152] The external pressure buckling strength (Pcr) of the side plate 12 after repair is 0.00157 (MPa), which is greater than the external design pressure (P), and therefore it is determined that the side plate 12 can withstand the external pressure.

[0153] (4-2. Stresses in the side panels due to wind loads or earthquakes) (4-2-1. Axial buckling stress occurring in the side plate) To calculate the stress generated in the side panel 12, it is necessary to determine the overturning moment (M1) as described in (2-2-1).

[0158] The stress (σ P) is calculated using Equation 14 as described in (2-2-1). In addition, the allowable buckling stress (σ K ) is calculated using Equation 15 as described in (2-2-1).

[0159] Here, in the second judgment step, as in the first judgment step described in (2-2-1.), the axial buckling stress (σ c1 ) is the allowable buckling stress of the side plate 12 (σ K ) is below, the side panel 12 is MW ) earthquake load.

[0165] [Table 23]

[0166] As shown in Table 23, after repair, σ t1 ≦1.5ft L Therefore, the result is "OK". (4-2-3. Circumferential stress occurring in the side plate) The stress (σ Φ0 ) is calculated using Equation 17 as described in (2-2-3).

[0167] Horizontal seismic intensity for design (K H ) The stress σ generated in the side panel 12 by the horizontal force of the earthquake ΦH is calculated by (Equation 18). Design vertical seismic coefficient (K MW ) The stress σ generated in the side panel 12 by the vertical force of the earthquake ΦV is calculated by (Equation 19).

[0168] Circumferential tensile stress σ generated in the side plate 12 Φ1 is calculated by (Equation 20). Here, in the second judgment step, similarly to the first judgment step described in (2-2-3), when all of (Equation 21), (Equation 22), and (Equation 23) are satisfied, the side panel 12 is judged to have a design vertical seismic coefficient (K MW ) earthquake load.

[0169] Table 24 shows the height (h') from the bottom surface of the side panel 12 to the lower end of each of the regions 21 to 25, and the thickness (t t ), stress (σ Φ0 ), stress (σ ΦH ), stress (σ ΦV ), the sum of stresses (|σ C1 |+σ Φ1 ), circumferential tensile stress after repair (ft C ), short-term circumferential tensile stress after repair (1.5ft C ), division value (σ Φ0 / ft C ), division value (σ Φ1 / 1.5ft C ), division value ((|σ C1 |+σ Φ1 ) / 1.5ft C ), and the judgment results are shown.

[0170] [Table 24]

[0171] As shown in Table 24, after repair, all of the regions 21 to 25 satisfy (Formula 21), (Formula 22), and (Formula 23), and therefore the judgment result is "OK." In the above example, the repair plan was judged to be appropriate, but the thickness (t rem ) and additional thickness (t n), or depending on the type of FRP material that constitutes the reinforcement layer 131 added by repair, the judgment result may be "NG".

[0172] <Effects of this embodiment> (1) The deterioration diagnosis method for an FRP liquid storage tank includes a measurement step of measuring the mechanical property value (X) of the wall portion 30, and a measurement step of comparing the mechanical property value (X) measured in the measurement step with the thickness (t t ), and thickness (t t and a determining step of determining whether the wall portion 30 can withstand the force acting on the wall portion 30 in the usage environment based on the design specification values ​​of the liquid storage tank 10 other than the above.

[0173] The mechanical property values ​​(X) of the wall 30 of the liquid storage tank 10, such as the tensile strength and the tensile modulus of elasticity, vary depending on the state of deterioration of the wall 30. In addition, if the deterioration state of the wall portion 30 is the same, the thickness (t t ) is smaller, the wall portion 30 is less able to withstand the force acting on the wall portion 30 in the usage environment.

[0174] According to the above method, the mechanical property value (X) of the wall portion 30 is measured in the measuring step. Then, in the determining step, the mechanical property value (X) and the thickness (t t ), and the thickness (t t Whether the wall 30 can withstand the force acting on the wall 30 in the usage environment is determined based on the design specification values ​​of the liquid storage tank 10 other than the above. Therefore, the deterioration state of the wall 30 of the liquid storage tank 10 can be diagnosed with high accuracy.

[0175] (2) The liquid storage tank 10 is a cylindrical tank having a cylindrical side plate 12 that is a wall portion 30. The side plate 12 is composed of multiple regions 21 to 25, each having a predetermined height. The determination step determines for each of the multiple regions 21 to 25 whether the side plate 12 can withstand the force acting on the side plate 12 in the usage environment.

[0176] The side plate 12 of the cylindrical tank is composed of a plurality of regions 21 to 25 each having a predetermined height. The force acting on the side plate 12 differs for each of the plurality of regions 21 to 25. In addition, in the cylindrical tank, the thickness (t t ) are different.

[0177] According to the above method, in the determination step, it is determined whether or not side plate 12 can withstand the force acting on side plate 12 in the usage environment for each of multiple regions 21 to 25. Therefore, the deterioration state can be accurately diagnosed for each of multiple regions 21 to 25 of side plate 12.

[0178] (3) The deterioration diagnosis method for an FRP liquid storage tank includes an acquisition step of acquiring a part of the wall portion 30 as a test piece. In the measurement step, a mechanical property value (X) of the test piece is acquired. According to this method, the measurement process can be carried out at a location other than the site where the liquid storage tank 10 is installed, such as a testing site, etc. Therefore, the measurement process can be carried out easily.

[0179] (4) The repair plan evaluation method for an FRP liquid storage tank includes an existing thickness acquisition step, a post-repair thickness calculation step, a post-repair mechanical property value calculation step, and a second determination step. According to this method, the existing thickness (t o ) is obtained, and the existing thickness (t o ) and additional thickness (t n ) and the thickness after repair (t comp ) is calculated. Then, the mechanical property value (X o ) and the mechanical properties (X n ) and the existing thickness (t o ) and additional thickness (t n ) and the mechanical property value (X comp ) is calculated. Also, the mechanical property value (X comp ), thickness after repair (t comp ), and the thickness after repair (t comp) is used to determine whether the wall 130 can withstand the force acting on the wall 130 in the usage environment. Therefore, before carrying out the repair work, the additional thickness (t n ) can be evaluated for validity.

[0180] (5) The existing thickness acquisition step acquires the existing thickness (t o The post-repair thickness calculation step calculates the post-repair thickness (t comp The post-repair mechanical property value calculation step calculates the post-repair mechanical property value (X comp In the second determination step, the mechanical property value (X comp ), thickness after repair (t comp ), and the thickness after repair (t comp ) is used to determine whether the wall portion 130 can withstand the force acting on it in the usage environment.

[0181] According to this method, in the second determination step, it is determined whether the side panel 12 can withstand the force acting on the side panel 12 in the use environment for each of the regions 21 to 25 of the plurality of stages.
