Mounded Storage Vessels (MSV) are commonly used in industries such as petrochemicals, liquefied Petroleum gas (LPG), and chemical processing, where the containment of hazardous materials is critical. However, the stability and integrity of these structures depend significantly on the adequacy of their foundation systems, particularly when constructed on weak soil deposits. This paper presents a comprehensive study of the performance of vibro stone columns employed as ground improvement technique for foundations of mounded storage vessels situated on weak soil deposits. This study employs geotechnical analyses for foundation designs and their performance under different loading scenarios. The case studies cover the effectiveness of vibro stone columns in enhancing the stability of mounded storage vessel foundations at various locations. The findings of this study provide valuable insights for practicing engineers involved in the design and construction of MSVs, enabling them to take decisions to ensure the safety, reliability, and longevity of these critical industrial structures.

摘要

Mounded Storage Vessels (MSV) are commonly used in industries such as petrochemicals, liquefied Petroleum gas (LPG), and chemical processing, where the containment of hazardous materials is critical. However, the stability and integrity of these structures depend significantly on the adequacy of their foundation systems, particularly when constructed on weak soil deposits. This paper presents a comprehensive study of the performance of vibro stone columns employed as ground improvement technique for foundations of mounded storage vessels situated on weak soil deposits. This study employs geotechnical analyses for foundation designs and their performance under different loading scenarios. The case studies cover the effectiveness of vibro stone columns in enhancing the stability of mounded storage vessel foundations at various locations. The findings of this study provide valuable insights for practicing engineers involved in the design and construction of MSVs, enabling them to take decisions to ensure the safety, reliability, and longevity of these critical industrial structures.
