Seismic Performance Evaluation and Analysis of Vertical Hydrogen Storage Vessels Based on Shaking Table Testing
Source abstract
Abstract
In this study, the structural integrity of a system installed on protrusion concrete, considering the usability of a vertical hydrogen storage vessel, was verified. To achieve this, a site survey was conducted to select the target structure, and analytical validation was performed to design specimens for shaking table tests. Subsequently, dynamic behavior characteristics were analyzed using an artificial earthquake simulated according to the procedures outlined in ICC-ES AC 156, which is the seismic design criterion. As a result, it was observed that the seismic motion was amplified by approximately 10 times compared to the original load magnitude, based on the acceleration response of the test specimen. It is inferred that the seismic motion occurring during an earthquake could cause significant damage to both the internal and external aspects of the structure, depending on the structure’s form and the composition of materials. Through analytical verification and testing, it was revealed that the main structure of the test specimen and the anchor bolts for installation met the seismic performance criteria. However, the protrusion concrete area exhibited damage, indicating a structural vulnerability when subjected to external forces such as earthquakes. Consequently, on-site measures to address this structural risk need to be explored.
