DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an underground tank system for storing low temperature liquids such as LNG (liquefied natural gas).

In the case of underground tanks that store low-temperature liquids such as LNG at -162°C, a frozen layer grows around the underground tank due to the cold heat of the stored liquid, which has a negative impact on structures around the tank over time. Therefore,
Efforts have been made to stop the growth of this frozen layer within a certain range.

A typical example of this is a method using a heat fence, which is located at a location far away from the underground tank 01, as shown in Figure 1.
A heating element (heat fence) 02 that uses hot water, etc. is inserted and installed to surround the underground tank 01 to approximately the same depth as the depth of the underground tank 01, and the growth of the frozen layer a is stopped inside this heating element 02, preventing further growth. This is a method of not allowing it to grow.

The method of inhibiting the growth of frozen soil layers using heat fences as described above is certainly effective in inhibiting the growth of frozen soil layers, and is currently being implemented, but recently the problem of ground displacement around underground tanks has been addressed. It turned out that simply preventing the growth of the frozen soil layer through heat fencing was not the solution.

In other words, the cause of ground displacement is that soil near the ground surface repeatedly freezes and thaws on an annual cycle due to heat input from the atmosphere.
When it freezes, it absorbs water from the surrounding unfrozen soil and becomes frozen, but when it thaws, the power to send water back to the surrounding area is weak, so the displacement of the surrounding ground does not return to its original state, and when it freezes,
There is a problem in that the displacement of the surrounding ground accumulates each time it thaws, and in addition, in areas close to the ground surface, the earth pressure from above is small and the temperature gradient is also small. However, it is easy to satisfy the conditions for a phenomenon in which a layer of pure ice forms near the frozen surface and then grows, and even if the growth of frozen soil stops, the growth of pure ice continues and the displacement of the surrounding ground continues. In addition, in the ground near the surface, rainwater permeates and increases the moisture content, which promotes the phenomenon of frozen soil, and the frozen expansion rate of reclaimed soil, which is normally used for embankments for underground tanks, is higher than that of other soils. Due to these causes, ground displacement at the ground surface occurs separately from that at the deep layer.

Therefore, in order to solve the problem of displacement of the ground around underground tanks, it is necessary to take effective measures against the above causes. In the above case, the first possible means for this is to cover the ground surface with a heat insulating and water-blocking material to reduce the influence of atmospheric temperature and prevent rainwater from entering. In other cases, it is necessary to further fill the earth on the earth embankment part 03 to increase insulation and earth pressure from above. In other cases, it is necessary to construct a mechanical water-stop wall around the underground tank to cut off the water supply, or to improve the soil quality and form an impermeable soil layer.

However, no matter how many of these measures are implemented, it is impossible to completely block out the effects of weather or completely prevent the intrusion of rainwater and groundwater. For this reason, even small effects of frozen soil pressure appear as ground displacement that cannot be ignored over time.

In addition, there are proposals to install multiple heat fences or change the performance of heat fences depending on the soil quality as a means to efficiently prevent frozen soil depending on the soil quality (especially Kaisho 49-815). However, since this known example is installed in a deep layer, even if the problems related to the soil quality are solved, the problems related to the weather cannot be solved.
