The structural safety assessment of large liquid tanks (LLT) has attracted an extensive attention. As a typical gray box model, the belief rule base (BRB) model can handle qualitative information and quantitative data simultaneously, which is a suitable modeling tool for structural safety assessment. However, it is difficult to establish and train the BRB model when there is a lack of expert experience and fault samples of LLT. Therefore, a novel safety assessment model for LLT based on BRB and finite element method (FEM-BRB) is proposed in this paper. The FEM is introduced to construct the BRB model by combining expert knowledge and industry standards for the first time, which can effectively compensate for the lack of expert experience. The fault samples are generated in the mechanism simulation model under different working conditions. Based on the fault samples generated by the FEM and historical samples, the projection covariance matrix adaption evolution strategy (P-CMA-ES) optimization algorithm is then used to train the model, which further improves the structural safety assessment accuracy when lacking fault samples. A case study of three actual oil tanks in a coastal port is conducted to illustrate the effectiveness and advantage of the developed structural safety assessment method.

“…Each natural disaster will cause different damage modes to the storage tanks. According to the literature and previous studies (Antonioni et al 2009;Landucci et al 2012;Schoenherr 2015;Olivar 2020), there are mainly the following damage modes: i) the buckling of tank shell caused by flood and wind load; ii) tank floating due to flooding; iii) displacement of tanks due to flooding; iv) tank overturning due to wind force; v) shell material yielding due to hail strike. Note that here we use damage rather than failure to indicate that the structure and state of the tank itself have been damaged, or changed.…”

“…The European Committee for Standardization proposed the wind coefficient (European Committee for Standardization 2007), which was given by the Fourier formula in the previous study (Greiner and Derler 1995). And, it is assumed that the wind pressure is constant in the height range of the tank, and a constant equivalent uniform external pressure 𝑞 𝑒𝑞 in the perimeter range of the tank acts on the tank surface, the relationship between which and wind pressure is related to an equivalent coefficient (Olivar et al 2020). Since predecessors have done detailed research, it is unnecessary to go into detailed derivation process here.…”

“…Due to their design and purpose, atmospheric storage tanks are vulnerable to Natech events, including earthquakes (Huang et al 2020), tsunamis (Cruz et al 2011), volcanic effects (Milazzo et al), flooding (Elisabeth et al 2008) and strong winds (Olivar et al 2020). As mentioned above, strong winds caused very serious Natech events along the Gulf coast of Mexico in the United States.…”

Natural hazard events that trigger technical emergencies (Natech events), as a typical type of multi-hazard, have become a matter of growing concern. In particular, the occurrence of Natech events in industrial areas triggered a number of severe accidents. The present research aims at introducing a sound but simplified methodology to quickly and flexibly assess the vulnerability of atmospheric storage tanks to multiple natural disasters in Natech events. This method consists of 8 steps, relying on the simplified physical models of tank damage caused by natural disasters. The models of wind overturning tank and tank buckling caused by hail are proposed. In addition, the assessment process of tank vulnerability is demonstrated from two aspects: deterministic analysis and probabilistic analysis. The uncertain parameter set (UPS) proposed in the method and the Monte Carlo simulation method can help to purposefully analyze the impact of various parameters and this method is also a general method, which is also applicable to Natech events including other natural disasters or other types of storage tanks.

Se analizó la situación actual de la investigación y la educación en incendios y explosiones en Colombia desde un enfoque de ciencia e ingeniería y se hicieron recomendaciones sobre los campos que deben desarrollarse para crear una estructura investigativa y educativa que respalde los esfuerzos por prevenirlos. Dado el riesgo de incendios y explosiones, la mayoría de los países han propiciado la creación de centros de investigación y educación orientados al desarrollo científico en esta área. En Colombia tal infraestructura tiene un desarrollo apenas incipiente. La revisión de aspectos importantes en incendios y explosiones como el análisis estadístico, la caracterización fisicoquímica de sustancias inflamables, la cinética química, la combustión, la simulación, la radiación térmica, los fenómenos de pirólisis, el smouldering, la formación de hollín y de humo, la caracterización experimental, la evaluación de riesgos, la educación y otros aspectos específicos de las explosiones evidenció que en Colombia existe un buen desarrollo en la aplicación de la combustión y la pirólisis con fines comerciales, pero sin énfasis en incendios y explosiones. En las demás áreas existen antecedentes de investigación específicamente relacionados con este campo que deben reforzarse. Se recomienda la creación de programas curriculares de posgrado en ciencia y tecnología en esta área, así como el aumento de la capacidad experimental para la caracterización de sustancias inflamables, el fortalecimiento de la investigación en ciencias básicas y el desarrollo de habilidades de computación y simulación.
