The unprecedented scale was catastrophic, and caused devastating destruction to both people s lives and the Japanese landscape. One such damage was to storage tanks, a necessary infrastructure for storage of materials needed for everyday life. In order to prevent future damages, this paper will share valuable feedback from actual damages, as well as the results from studies conducted to assess the potential impact of future earthquakes and ensuing tsunamis in order to reduce damage to future storage tanks.

2 1. INTRODUCTION On 11 March 2011, the magnitude-9.0 Tohoku Earthquake triggered a Tsunami which hit Japan with an unprecedented height of water. Production and storage facilities located along the coast were directly impacted and the extraordinary disaster that followed was mainly due to the Tsunami. Damage to many cylindrical oil storage tanks occurred due to sliding, floating, overturning, steel wall buckling and collapse due to the forces of the tsunami. Traditionally, production and storage facilities have not been designed to withstand tsunami forces and inundation. However, since significant earthquakes are predicted in the future with epicenters near Tokai, Tonankai and/or Nankai, the reassessment of the safety and countermeasures for protection of the storage tanks to future Tsunamis are outstanding issues. The establishment of safety guidelines and strength assessments for cylindrical storage tanks against tsunami has been studied by the IHI team from the following point of view. (1) Validation of the simplified evaluation method for storage tanks developed by FDMA based on actual damages to storage tanks (2) Impact of predicted tsunami disasters to low temperature single containment gas storage tanks and study of issues. (3) Development of evaluation method for structural integrity checking of the outer steel wall single containment (double metallic wall) tanks using coupled analysis between wall and tsunami force by Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method. IHI introduces, for the first time, a methodology for evaluating structural integrity of cylindrical tanks when subjected to tsunami forces and effects. 2. THE DAMAGES OF THE STORAGE TANKS DUE TO THE TSUNAMI A summary of past Great Earthquakes which generated large tsunamis including the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami is shown in Table 2.1. Inundation height, run-up height and inundation area of the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami are shown in Fig.2.1 Table 2.1: Summary of the Great Earthquake Which Made the Big Tsunami and Extraordinary Disasters Earthquake Date Magnitude Max.

Examples of damaged storage tanks are shown in Fig ), 3) Figure 2.2: Examples of Damaged Storage Tanks 3
4 FDMA reported that 167 tanks were damaged. Of those, 120 tanks had capacities less than 500kl. There was no damage to tanks with capacities larger than10,000kl, but the piping for 27 of these tanks was damaged. Various types of tank damage caused by the tsunami are shown in Fig2.3 Scouring Tank Foundation Sliding failure Floating Sliding Overturning Tsunami Damages to tank foundation Tank deformation Tsunami Buckling due to external water pressure Damage to bottom plate due to local uplifting Buckling to wall plate due to local uplifting Collision with floating object Damage to piping Figure 2.3: Various Types of Damage to Oil Storage Tanks by Tsunami 4) The relationship between tank damage, inundation depth and tank volume in the coastal area of Iwate and Miyagi prefecture is shown in Fig.2.4. Damages increased with inundation depth larger than 3m. For inundation depths between 3 and 5m, two types of damage were observed, only damage to attached piping and damage to attached piping and tank body. For inundation depths over 5m, most of the storage tanks were damaged. On the other hand, low temperature liquefied gas storage tanks were not damaged because fortunately these tanks were not built in the high inundation area.

LARGE EARTHQUAKE PREDICTION IN JAPAN A large earthquake along the Nankai trough in Japan could cause a large tsunami. Tsunami propagation analysis with a 10m mesh was done by the Cabinet Office, Government of Japan. Tsunami height, inundation area and the assumed disaster were reported in August One of the results of a numerical simulation 4
5 indicating the distribution of tsunami height is shown in Fig.3.1. The assumed inundation area includes a large part of Toukai and west Japan; its area is 1.8 times that of the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami. Tsunami Height (m) Figure 3.1: Example of Tsunami Height Due to a Large Earthquake along the Nankai Trough 5) As mentioned above, the establishment of a structural integrity evaluation method for cylindrical storage tanks, including low temperature liquefied gas (LNG) storage tanks, against tsunami forces is a very important issue. In order to predict tsunami disasters, the methodology is necessary. (a) Propagation analysis of tsunami over a large area (b) Local tsunami propagation analysis and tsunami force analysis surrounding the storage tank (c) Allowance for floating objects and collision analysis (d) Structural analysis of the storage tank [(a) Propagation analysis of tsunami over a large area] will be performed by the Cabinet Office of Japan Government, and thus has not been addressed by the IHI team. [(c) Allowance for floating objects and collision analysis], while very important, is difficult to identify concretely at this time. In this paper, assumed tsunami conditions (inundation depth, flow velocity etc.,) are given as the initial conditions. [(b) Local tsunami propagation analysis and tsunami force analysis surrounding the tank], and [(d) Structural analysis of tank] will be discussed. (It is likely that a protective dike will significantly reduce the chances of a tsunami hitting a tank. However, in this paper, the resistance effect of the dike to the tsunami has not been taken into account.) 4. SIMPLIFIED EVALUATION METHOD FOR STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF STORAGE TANKS BY FDMA In this section, we will introduce the simplified evaluation method for storage tank integrity which was proposed by FDMA in The suitability and limitation of this method will be discussed hereinafter. 4.1 Tsunami Force Acting on a Cylindrical Tank Because of the many facilities and oil tanks damaged by the Indonesia Sumatra Earthquake Indian Ocean Tsunami Disaster of December 26, 2004, FDMA executed investigations of Japanese domestic facilities and storage tanks which are under their control concerning tsunami inundation and countermeasures 4). One of these investigations was an experiment on a tank using a two-dimensional flume. The evaluation considered the effects of tsunami flow speed on a cylindrical storage tank. 5
6 Distribution of tsunami pressures acting on a cylindrical tank is shown in Fig.4.2, and tsunami forces are shown in equations (4.1) and (4.2).

Coefficient of inundation depth α and β were proposed as follows, F r : Froude number V max : Max. velocity of Tsunami 6
7 4.2 Simplified Evaluation Method for Tank Damage by Tsunami To predict sliding, floating (including lifting up) and overturning of the cylindrical storage tanks, the simplified evaluation method of tank damage by tsunami was proposed by FDMA 4). In this method, tank self-weight including internal liquid and friction force between tank bottom plate and foundation are compared to vertical and horizontal tsunami forces respectively. And then, it is decided whether tanks are damaged or not. Steel wall buckling due to the difference between external and internal pressure is predicted by the simplified formula taken from the shell buckling theory 6). 4.3 Validity of the Simplified Evaluation Method for Determining Storage Tanks Damage Based on the Actual Tank Damages The possibility of oil storage tanks moving (sliding, floating and overturning) due to the 2011 Earthquake and Tsunami were studied with results shown in Fig.4.3 2). 62 out of the 68 damaged tanks were estimated to have moved. 138 out of the 176 non damaged tanks were estimated to have not moved. It is reported that this evaluation method has 80 to 90% reliability. Concerning overturning of tanks and steel wall buckling, there were no reports which compared the predictions with actual damage by the simplified evaluation method. This could be because most oil tanks have no anchoring or relatively small anchoring resistance against tsunami forces, so sliding or floating of the tanks occurs before overturning or steel wall buckling. 1,000 kl tank 10,000 kl tank Sliding Floating Overturning Wall buckling Sliding Floating Overturning Wall buckling Inundation depth (m) Inundation depth (m) Ratio of internal liquid (%) Ratio of internal liquid (%) Figure 4.3: Evaluation Results of Damages for Typical Dimensions Tank 2) The following issues detract from using the simplified evaluation method for tank damage. (1) Vertical tsunami forces are estimated in cases where tsunami water entered through a gap between the tank bottom plate and foundation. In case that anchoring and /or a water protection system would prevent water intrusion into the gap between the tank bottom plate and foundation, vertical tsunami forces will be overestimated. (2) In the case of moving (floating and overturning), only friction between tank and foundation is considered as acting against tsunami forces in the simplified evaluation method. The effect of other forms of anchoring is not assessed. To investigate these issues, we made some modifications to the simplified evaluation method. Damaged tanks were then re-evaluated. 7
8 (1) Application of vertical tsunami forces on a tank Two cases are studied, as indicated in Fig. 4.4, considering the degree of intrusion of tsunami water into the gap between the tank bottom plate and foundation. The possibility of sliding, uplift and overturning phenomena is verified in comparison with the result of simplified evaluation method. Overturning moment Overturning moment Horizontal tsunami force Vertical tsunami force [Case A] [Case B] Case A: The seal against intrusion of water is available. No inundation of tsunami into the gap between tank bottom plate and foundation is expected. Case B: The seal is not complete. A uniform vertical force by tsunami water is applied due to gradual inundation into the gap between tank bottom plate and foundation. Figure 4.4: Types of Application of Vertical Wave Force (2) Consideration of anchor bolt resistance When a vertical force is applied by tsunami water, the resistance by anchor bolts is studied. 1 Resistance to the horizontal tsunami force (resistance by friction force between foundation and tank bottom plate) + (shear strength of anchor bolts) 2 Resistance to the vertical tsunami force (self- weight of tank including internal liquid) + (tensile strength of anchor bolts) 3 Resistance to the overturning moment (resisting moment due to the self-weight of tank) + (resisting moment due to tensile strength of anchor bolts) Vertical tsunami force Horizontal tsunami force Tank self-weight Shear strength and tension strength of anchor bolts Frictional resistance force Figure 4.5: Relation between Tsunami Force and Resistance of Tank 8

(F tt F rr ) + (F tt F rr ) + (M t M rr ) = 1 F rh : Horizontal resisting force F rv : Vertical resisting force M t : Resisting moment for overturning Typical specifications of the tanks being investigated are listed in Table 4.2.

(The tank is presumed to have moved before wall buckling occurred.) : The judgment is not coincident with the actual behavior. *2 The inundation into the gap between tank bottom plate and foundation is assumed. *3 See Fig.4.4 about "CaseA", "CaseB". Almost empty tanks marked as Tank-1, and Tank-2 in Table 4.2 and 4.3 slid due to the force of the tsunami even though the resistance by anchoring is accounted. These results are the same as actually occurred. Anchor bolts are mainly designed to withstand wind and earthquake loads, which are much less than tsunami forces. However, comparing the effect of intrusion of tsunami water into the gap between the tank bottom plate and foundation to actual tanks, there are two results as to whether sliding occurred or not. Tank-4 actually received over 3m inundation depth, however the tank did not slide even though it was almost empty. The analytical result for Tank-4, without considering the vertical force due to tsunami (Case A) corresponds to actual damage. Based on the above verification, it is concluded that the intrusion of tsunami water into the gap between the tank bottom plate and foundation should be accurately taken into account in order to increase the reliability of predicting sliding of tanks. 10
11 5. PREDICTION OF DAMAGE DUE TO TSUNAMI FOR LIQUEFIED GAS STORAGE TANKS 5.1 Parts of Liquefied Gas Storage Tank Were Predicted to be Damaged by Tsunami Force Recently, liquefied gas storage tanks with pre-stressed concrete for the outer tank (outer wall) are mainly constructed in the world. However, this paper specially considers a single containment liquefied gas storage tank with dike because many of these have been constructed in Japan. An example of this tank is shown in Fig These liquefied gas storage tanks have following features, and therefore have excellent safety against tsunamis compared with the cylindrical oil storage tanks. (1) Most LNG terminals are constructed on the edge of a large bay. Tsunami height does not grow due to area effect of a large bay. (2) Dikes are placed around each tank as secondary barriers and they have significant strength and height. Therefore, it is presumed that the tsunami will rarely reach the tank. (3) The tank is fixed to its foundation by anchor straps on the inner tank and anchor bolts on the outer tank. Thus, it would be very difficult to move a tank if a tsunami were to hit the tank. (4) Even if a tsunami were to flow over the dike and reach the tank, the inner tank, which stores liquefied gas, would not be subjected to the tsunami force because of the double steel wall. In addition, any damage to the outer tank is not directly linked to leakage of liquefied gas. In this paper we have assumed that a tsunami will flow over the dike, reach the outer tank wall, and report on the evaluation method to determine if these tanks will withstand the tsunami. The damage by tsunami forces to the various parts of a liquefied gas storage tank listed in Fig. 5.1 should be evaluated. Dike Figure 5.1: Portion of Liquefied Gas Storage Tank to Be Checked for Damage by Tsunami Forces Among the items noted in Fig.5.1, we evaluated the outer tank wall which the tsunami hits first. A single containment tank with double steel wall has anchor straps on the inner tank which penetrate the bottom plate of the outer tank and anchor in the concrete foundation as shown in Fig.5.2. The anchor strap is welded to the outer tank bottom plate thus increasing the resistance against tsunami force by both friction (between outer tank bottom plate/foundation) and shear strength (of anchor bolt on outer tank plus anchor strap from inner tank). 11
12 Anchor strap (a) (c) Bottom plate of outer tank (b) Bottom insulation Tank foundation Strap box (a) Resistance by anchor bolts (b) Resistance by anchor straps (c) Friction force between outer tank bottom plate and foundation Figure 5.2: Resistance of Outer Tank to Tsunami Based on the above, it is highly likely that the outer tank steel wall, will buckle before uplift or sliding occurs. Further, it is important to understand the damage to the outer wall so that we can evaluate whether the annular space of the tank is inundated or not. Therefore, in this paper, we discuss the evaluation method for buckling of the steel wall of the outer tank. 5.2 Verification of the evaluation method for buckling by FEM Since buckling of the outer tank steel wall is predicted to occur first, in this section a FEM analytical method is studied to determine the inundation depth at which buckling occurs. The simplified evaluation method proposed by FDMA uses a formula based on shell buckling theory 6) in which hydrostatic pressure acts on a cylindrical wall. In this method it is assumed that the steel wall has a uniform thickness and is not reinforced. In addition, we set the boundaries of the cylindrical shell at the bottom of tank wall and the height of the second stiffener which covers the inundation depth. The FEM analysis is performed considering the actual thickness of tank wall and location of stiffener to be able to compare both results. Load condition is indicated in Fig. 5.3 N 2 gas and insulation pressure External water pressure Figure 5.3: Load Condition for the Evaluation of Buckling 12
13 The analytical model and results (mode of buckling) are shown in Fig Wall thickness (lower part): 12 mm Close-up of inside Close-up of inside Diameter 60m Height of wall 33m Stiffeners (total 7 course) FEM model for outer tank Buckling mode Wave number=130 Figure 5.4: FEM Model and Result of Buckling Analysis The results of both analyses are indicated in Table 5.4. In the evaluation by shell buckling theory, the effect of wall stiffeners attached to the area which is receiving the external pressure of the tsunami is not taken into account. Therefore, it is expected that the FEM analysis inundation depth, which considered the effects of all stiffeners, will be larger than that determined by shell buckling theory.

COUPLED ANALYSIS BETWEEN TSUNAMI AND TANK BY SPH METHOD It has been suggested that buckling will occur in the steel wall of a storage tank due to tsunami forces. The simplified evaluation method explained in the section 5 assumes the pressure distribution of tsunami forces in a circumferential direction and as a uniform static pressure. Accordingly, an accurate behavior of the tank may not be represented. Therefore, in order to model the actual dynamic behavior of tsunami forces and the deformation of the tank outer wall simultaneously, a coupled analysis is carried out. In this chapter the results are described. 6.1 Outline of analysis by SPH method SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics) method calculates the hydrodynamic behavior modeling the continuous media of the tsunami as an assembly of particles of water. This method has the following merits: 13
14 (1) It is easy to build the complicated shape model of a tsunami because the mesh required in FEM analysis is not necessary. (2) The behavior of the tsunami with large shape deformations can be expressed. The following studies are carried out in order to confirm the effectiveness of the SPH method for a coupled analysis of tsunami and tank. (1) Comparison with hydraulic model experiment (2) Application of SPH method on actual LNG tank Program of PAM-CRASH2G V is used. 6.2 Comparison with Hydraulic Model Experiment The hydraulic model experiment 4) is simulated by SPH method. By comparing the results of the experiment, the feasibility of tsunami analysis and degree of accuracy are checked. The analytical model is shown in the Fig The tank is regarded as rigid body and the situation just before tsunami acts on tank is given as the initial condition of analysis by the SPH method. The shape of the tsunami is assumed as a rectangular wave. Model of tsunami Inundation depth : 3.0 m Flow velocity : 5.0 m/s Diameter of particle: 500 mm Dimension of model tank Diameter (D): 20 m Wall height (H): 20 m H/D: 1.0 Figure 6.1: Outline of Analytical Model The results of the analysis regarding the behavior of the tsunami are shown in Fig The wave force and wave pressure of tsunami obtained by analysis are then compared with the results of the experiment as shown in Fig. 6.3 and 6.4. Finally, it is confirmed that both maximum wave force and wave pressure are almost the same as the value obtained from the experiment. With regard to the horizontal forces by the tsunami, the behavior from the time of application of the tsunami force to the peak has almost the same inclination as that of the experiment. Further, regarding tsunami wave pressure, as shown in Fig. 6.4, the value by analysis well corresponds to the value obtained by experiment, and wave pressure distribution in the circumferential direction at each tank wall height is well distributed according to the analysis.

In this case the wall of tank is modeled by a thin wall in consideration of elastic-plastic deformation. Tank specification is indicated below. Tank diameter: 61.3m Height of tank wall: 32.7m Thickness of tank wall: 12mm (lower part), 10mm (upper part) Material : Mild steel(equivalent to JIS SS400) 15

In this analysis a greater than expected tsunami flow velocity was given in order to simulate the phenomena of tank wall buckling. Inundation depth of tsunami :5m Speed of tsunami :8.33m/s Size of SPH : 500mm The analytical model is shown in the Fig. 6.5 L130 Stiffener ( Thickness: 9 mm) Flow velocity: 8.33m/s Inundation depth: 5m Clearance of floating foundation Figure 6.5: Outline of Analytical Model The behavior of the tsunami and tank obtained by the analysis is indicated in Fig According to this analysis both the behavior of tsunami and deformation of tank after buckling occurs can be represented.

17 7. CONCLUSION In order to establish a method to evaluate the structural integrity of flat bottom cylindrical tanks against a tsunami, the conventional simplified evaluation method is checked in view of proper method and issues brought by this study. Followings are the results. (1) The simplified evaluation method for estimating damage to oil storage tanks finds that tanks without anchor bolts and tanks with weak anchors were easily damaged due to horizontal and vertical movement. This result roughly matches with actual damage. (2) In cases where tsunami water does not enter the gap between the tank bottom plate and foundation, sometimes the results of the simplified evaluation method by FDMA does not correspond to actual damages. Therefore, in order to increase the reliability of predicting the possibility of tank sliding, it is important to take into account the intrusion of tsunami water into this space accurately. (3) For the case of a liquefied gas storage tank with a dike, it is considered that they have excellent safety against a tsunami compared with cylindrical oil storage tanks because of their structural features and site condition. If a tsunami flows over the dike and reaches the tank, the buckling of the outer steel wall by tsunami force could occur before other damages. FEM analysis is carried out to establish the evaluation method of buckling of the outer steel wall and is validated by comparing with shell buckling theory. (4) The SPH method is adopted as an analytical tool which can represent both hydrodynamic behavior of tsunami and deformation of tank wall at the same time. A coupled analysis between tsunami and tank is performed by using two kinds of models. The following results are obtained. 1 In the SPH analysis comparing the results with the hydraulic model experiment, the wave force and pressure measured in the experiment are well represented. 2 In the SPH analysis for an actual tank, the hydrodynamic behavior of the tsunami and the buckling behavior of tank wall can be represented accurately. These results show that the SPH method can be used to check the structural integrity of tanks against tsunami forces. Furthermore, issues to be considered to improve the accuracy of analysis are described below. (1) Establishment of how to determine the vertical wave force (buoyancy) corresponding to the degree of intrusion of water into the gap between tank bottom and foundation. (2) Establishment of how to determine an accurate initial condition of the tsunami for analysis (tsunami height just before tsunami acts on the tank, distribution of velocity ) (3) Establishment of how to evaluate whether tsunami water will enter the space between outer and inner wall in relation to the degree of buckling and stresses occurring in the outer steel wall. (4) Study of evaluation method which takes into account the effect of a dike.
