COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Design of Liquid Retaining Structures. It covers the importance of liquid retaining structures in petroleum and industrial applications; the types of liquid retaining structures, key design considerations and differences between liquid and ordinary structural designs; the types of liquid retaining structures, structural behavior and load considerations; the material selection and durability considerations; the design standards and codes for liquid retaining structures; and the design of reinforced concrete liquid retaining tanks and steel liquid retaining tanks.
Further, the course will also discuss the seismic design considerations for liquid retaining structures and foundation design for liquid retaining structures; the design of bunds and secondary containment systems including structural modeling and finite element analysis (FEA); the waterproofing strategies for liquid retaining structures, corrosion protection and cathodic protection systems; the leak detection and monitoring systems, crack prevention and remediation techniques; and the fire protection and safety considerations, risk assessment, failure prevention and construction methods for liquid retaining structures.
