  • the present invention relates to a cylindrical structure whose vertical wall and the bottom wall comprise a plurality of adjacent rectangular elements, and in particular to a sealed and thermally insulated tank.
  • the document FR 1 457 617 describes a tank for the storage of liquefied natural gas.
  • This tank comprises a waterproof membrane made of corrugated metal sheets.
  • the circular bottom wall is covered by a plurality of rectangular sheets distributed by symmetrical sectors, and by connecting plates between sectors. This arrangement makes it possible to cover a large part of the surface of the bottom wall with rectangular sheets.
  • the bottom wall is circular, it is necessary to provide special non-rectangular sheets between the straight edges of the rectangular sheets and the circumference of the bottom wall. The number of different sheets needed to cover the entire bottom wall is high.
  • the document FR 2 739 675 describes a vessel whose bottom wall is covered by a plurality of corrugated sheets. Corrugated sheets have radial edges. The cutting of these sheets is more complicated than in the case of rectangular sheets, and can cause a significant amount of drop, which is particularly undesirable when the sheets are made of an expensive material. In addition, different types of sheets with radial edges are required to cover the entire bottom wall.
  • the document FR 2 398 961 describes a vessel whose bottom wall is covered by a plurality of rectangular strakes all parallel to each other. This involves connection difficulties at the intersection of the bottom wall with the vertical wall of the tank. In addition, the cutting strakes causes a significant amount of falling.
  • the problem that the present invention seeks to solve is to propose a cylindrical structure or a vessel, which does not exhibit at least some of the aforementioned disadvantages of the prior art, and particular that can be achieved with a reduced number of forms for parts.
  • the solution proposed by the invention is a cylindrical structure comprising a vertical wall and a bottom wall, said bottom wall having a plurality of image sectors of each other by rotation, each sector comprising a plurality of adjacent rectangular elements, characterized in that said bottom wall has the shape of a regular polygon, each side of which corresponds to one of said sectors, the edges of the rectangular elements of a sector being respectively perpendicular and parallel to the side of the polygon corresponding to said sector.
  • the bottom wall can be composed of rectangular elements.
  • the rectangular elements of the bottom wall can extend to the rectilinear sides of the bottom wall, and in this case no special elements are needed between the rectangular elements and the sides.
  • the rectangular elements of the bottom wall may also extend to a short distance from the straight sides of the bottom wall, and have edges parallel to the sides.
  • the bottom wall can be completed easily by rectilinear elements which extend along the sides of the bottom wall, for example corner angles. In both cases, only a limited number of different elements are needed to form the entire bottom wall.
  • said bottom wall comprises a plurality of identical polygonal connecting elements connecting two adjacent sectors.
  • the connecting elements may for example be quadrilaterals or octagons.
  • said vertical wall comprises a plurality of adjacent rectangular elements, said rectangular elements of the vertical wall being identical to the rectangular elements of the bottom wall.
  • the invention also proposes a sealed and thermally insulated tank, comprising a sealing barrier and a thermally insulating barrier, characterized in that it comprises a cylindrical structure according to the invention above.
  • the rectangular elements may be elements of the sealed barrier and / or the thermally insulating barrier.
  • said rectangular elements comprise corrugated sheets forming the sealing barrier or metal strakes with raised edges forming the sealing barrier. It can also be provided that said rectangular elements comprise panels of thermally insulating material forming the thermally insulating barrier.
  • said bottom wall comprises a central piece to which the most central rectangular elements of each sector are connected.
  • the vessel comprises a rectilinear angle bracket arranged along one side of said bottom wall, said corner angle comprising a horizontal lath to which are connected the most eccentric rectangular elements of a sector and a vertical lath to which are connected rectangular elements of the vertical wall.
  • FIG. 1 is a view from above of a sector and connecting elements of a tank according to one embodiment of the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a view from above of a connecting element of the tank of FIG. 1,

  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the connecting element of FIG. 2
  • FIG. 5 is a partial view from above of the bottom wall of a tank according to another embodiment of the invention.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 are partial perspective views of the tank of FIG. 1, with connecting elements according to an alternative embodiment
  • FIG. 8 shows two connecting elements according to a second variant of the invention.
  • FIGS 6 and 7 there is shown the sealed membrane of a tank 1 for the storage of liquefied natural gas (LNG).
  • the vessel 1 also comprises a concrete support structure and a thermally insulating barrier located between the waterproof membrane and the supporting structure, which are not shown.
  • the sealed membrane of the tank 1 is a cylindrical structure which comprises a bottom wall 2 and a vertical wall 3.
  • the bottom wall 2 has the shape of a regular polygon, with twenty sides 6 in the example shown in the figures 6 and 7.

  • a plurality of rectangular plates 8 are arranged in three rows, with their width parallel to the side 6. From one row to the other other, the rectangular sheets 8 are arranged in staggered rows and there is each time a sheet 8 less as one gets closer to the center.
  • the bottom wall 2 can be entirely composed with a plurality of identical rectangular plates 8, a plurality of 9 identical connecting plates, and a central piece 13, which may optionally be formed by connecting plates 9 as shown in Figure 7.
  • the bottom wall 2 is composed of two or, at most, three types of sheets different.
  • the short side of the outermost rectangular plates 8 is not coincident with the side 6, but is at a short distance, for example 10 cm.
  • a rectilinear corner angle L-shaped section is disposed along the side 6. The corner angle comprises a horizontal slat to which are connected the rectangular plates 8 the most eccentric, by their width.
  • the corner angle also comprises a vertical slat to which are connected the sheets of the vertical wall.
  • the corner angle is only an example of connection between the bottom wall 2 and the vertical wall 3.
  • This connection can be made according to other techniques, for example in a manner similar to the connecting rings used in the field. of LNG transport tank. Whatever technique you choose, as it is a link between two perpendicular walls composed mainly of rectangular sheets whose edges are parallel and perpendicular to the intersection stop, this connection is relatively simple and requires only a limited number of parts.
  • the vertical wall 3 is composed of rectangular metal sheets. In one embodiment, it is the same rectangular sheets 8 as those of the bottom wall 2, which limits the number of types of metal required.
  • the longitudinal corrugations 7 of the bottom wall 2 can be connected to the corresponding longitudinal corrugations 7 of the vertical wall 3, which limits the constraints due to thermal contraction.
