SUPPORT STRUCTURE OF AN LNG TANK USING AN ELASTIC MEMBER CAPABLE OF COPING WITH THE CONTRACTION AND INFLATION OF THE LNG TANK ACCORDING TO A CHANGE IN A TEMPERATURE

摘要

PURPOSE: A support structure of an LNG tank using an elastic member is provided to prevent an LNG tank from moving, stably support the LNG tank and minimize displacement to the load of the LNG tank.;CONSTITUTION: A support structure of an LNG tank comprises a base unit(40) and an elastic member(50). The base unit is formed on hull to be concave. The LNG tank is installed on the base unit. The elastic member is installed on the inner circumferential surface of the base unit and is divided to regions with different elastic coefficients. The elastic member prevents and supports the movement of the LNG tank being contracted or relaxed according to the change of the LNG tank loaded on the base unit.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2012
