| Title: |
STRUCTURAL ASSESSEMENT AND STRENGTHENING OF A LIQUID STORAGE TANK. |
| Sponsor: |
Hellenic Petroleum SA |
| Beneficiary: |
University of Thessaly, Greece |
| Objective: |
This project was aimed at determining the structural condition of a liquid storage tank in a refinery, which had visible wrinkles in its wall. The tank wall surface was laser-scanned and digitized, and this enabled the development of a robust finite element model to conduct stress analysis under hydrostatic and seismic loading conditions. |
