Author(s) : OGATA N., YASUDA M., KATAOKI T.

Summary

THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF FROZEN SOILS WERE STUDIED. THE INFLUENCE OF SALT CONCENTRATIONS ON STRENGTH OF FROZEN SOILS IN UNDERGROUND OR INGROUND STORAGE OF CRYOGENIC LIQUIDS WAS DISCUSSED. THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN LNG STORAGE TANK IN THE GROUND WITH NO HEATING EQUIPMENT AROUND THE TANK, THE GROUND WILL BE FROZEN WITH THE LAPSE OF YEARS. FROST HEAVE IN FREEZING OF GROUND AND THE FROZEN EARTH PRESSURE ACTING ON THE WALL OF THE LNG TANK WAS EXAMINED. SINCE LNG INGROUND STORAGE TANKS ARE OFTEN CONSTRUCTED ALONG THE COAST, FROZEN SOILS CONTAINING SALT WERE TESTED. (CRYOG. INF. REP., US., 21, N5, 198305, 16, 24.
