General provision 4.1 Basic provisions 4.1.1 In order to strengthen the construction quality management, standardize the quality management behavior of construction enterprises and promote the construction enterprises to improve the quality management level, it is stipulated that the construction unit can establish relevant quality management system according to the quality management of the unit and the relevant requirements of GB/T 50430. 4.1.2 During the construction of underground works, there are often abnormal conditions with or without exploration data, so that the project cannot be carried out smoothly. In order to avoid losses, the construction unit is required to find out the distribution of concealed works within the construction scope. 4.2 Type of storage tank foundations This Article only aims to make the personnel who have just contacted the storage tank foundation construction know the foundation structure, and does not mean that it is limited to the forms listed herein. Due to the improvement of national environmental protection requirements, the seepage control practice of storage tank foundation is becoming more and more common. In order to improve the seepage control effect, geotechnical materials are given priority because they are easier to construct than other impervious materials and have good seepage control effect. 5. Storage Tank Foundation Construction 5.1 General provisions GB/T 50756 has been issued and implemented. In this revision, some contents of ground improvement have been deleted. This Specification refers to GB/T 50756 for the foundation construction and quality requirements. Therefore, the foundation construction and quality acceptance requirements meet the provisions of GB/T 50756 and this Specification. 6. Storage Tank Foundation Construction 48 SH/T 3528-2014 6.1 Excavation and backfilling 6.1.1 The construction survey and setting-out aim to calibrate the plane position, shape and elevation of the storage tank foundation designed on the drawing on the ground of the construction site, and guide the construction in the construction process, so that the project can be constructed according to the design requirements. Construction survey is not only the basis of the project, but also the key to the project quality. The checking of building line after setting-out is more important and cannot be a mere formality. 6.1.2 When the storage tank foundation is located in mountain or areas with high groundwater level, blasting and dewatering measures shall be taken for excavation. This Article especially emphasizes that excavation shall be carried out according to the approved construction technical documents. 6.1.4 The trench shall be inspected in time after the excavation, and the cushion shall be poured in time after the inspection. It is emphasized that the two timely measures are to prevent rainwater and groundwater from soaking the foundation trench. Timely understanding means no delay, immediately, at once. 6.1.7~6.1.9 The backfilling in these articles refers to the backfilling outside the ring wall of the storage tank foundation, and these articles define the sampling quantity for layered construction, layered compaction and compacting factor. 6.3 Reinforced concrete foundation 6.3.1.3 In recent years, there have been accidents of collapse during the installation of ring wall reinforcement or the removal of support system after installation, resulting in property and construction period losses in less serious cases and casualties in serious cases. Therefore, a support system is required for steel bar setting, which is not only to ensure the steel bar setting quality, but also an important safety protection measure. 6.3.4.3 Ensuring the construction quality of reinforced concrete ring wall is not only an important link to ensure that the storage tank foundation meets the requirements of design documents, but also a basis to ensure that the storage tank body is evenly stressed, and the foundation is fully stressed and evenly settled. In order to ensure the quality of the top surface of the ring wall, it is clear that the concrete on the surface of the ring wall is troweled, calendered and leveled at one time; it also specifies the requirements for secondary mortar leveling when the surface of the ring wall needs to be plastered. 49 SH/T 3528-2014 6.3.5 Mass concrete construction See GB 50496 for the definition of mass concrete. 6.4 Packing layer and impervious layer / sand layer in ring wall 6.4.1 General provisions At present, the packing in the ring wall of domestic storage tanks is mainly plain soil, lime soil, graded sand and graded gravel. The requirements for raw materials of the packing are relatively high, and the compacting factor is usually more than 0.96. In order to ensure the packing quality, it is necessary to focus on material selection and construction. As the main pressure bearing part of the steel storage tank foundation structure, the construction quality of the packing in the ring wall directly affects the safe operation of the storage tank. The packing in the ring wall shall be treated as a sub-part of the foundation acceptance. The material quality and compaction quality of the packing in the ring wall shall be regarded as an important quality control point for the storage tank foundation construction, and the construction unit and the supervision unit shall strictly control it. When the concrete strength of the ring wall is greater than C20, the ring wall can bear considerable lateral pressure generated by mechanical movement; the construction of internal and external ramps over the ring wall will not damage the ring wall; when the concrete strength of the ring wall is not greater than C20 or the amount of packing is large, in order to save the construction period, the construction technical documents shall be approved when the scheme of reserving door holes on the ring wall and carrying out storage tank core construction in advance is adopted. 6.4.2 Plain soil packing layer Moisture content is an important factor affecting the compaction quality. Under the action of the same compaction energy, the moisture content of the packing has a direct impact on the dry density (compacting factor) after compaction. Near the optimum moisture content, the dry density (compacting factor) after compaction is the largest. With the gradual increase or decrease of moisture content, the dry density (compacting factor) after compaction gradually decreases. With the gradual increase of the storage tank foundation diameter, the degree of mechanized construction used for the packing is higher and higher, which also gradually increases the reliability of the packing quality. Therefore, the area of inspection points is also increasing with the increase of the packing area specified in this Article. 50 SH/T 3528-2014 During the layered laying of packing, evidential sampling shall be carried out layer by layer, but evidential sampling shall also be conducted for the parts that are not convenient for mechanical compaction construction and are tamped manually, so as to achieve all-round monitoring in the whole process. 6.4.3 Lime soil packing layer During lime soil mixing, the lime digestion period is generally half a month, which must be reached, and then fine screening shall be conducted. Fine screening is also required for the soil mixing. Generally, it takes 3~5 days for stuffy lime with plastic cloth. If the digestion period does not expire, the lime particles will be too large and will expand after encountering water, so it cannot be compacted. 6.4.4 Graded gravel packing layer The maximum dry density of middle-level gravel in this Article shall be determined through compacting test according to the stone selected for actual construction. 6.4.8 Impervious layer This Article stipulates that geotechnical materials shall be rechecked before mobilization, and can be used only after passing the recheck; Test welding shall be conducted before geomembrane construction, and weld inspection shall be conducted according to the selected weld mode. Before the geomembrane construction, the sundries in the base course shall be cleaned, and there shall be not local concave-convex phenomenon on the base course surface. The cleaned base surface shall be dense and flat, and the flatness and cleanliness shall be controlled to prevent the impervious membrane from being pierced by sundries or leakage due to uneven compactness during use. 6.5 Asphalt sand insulating layer 6.5.6 The asphalt sand insulating layer has three main functions: anti-corrosion, anti-static and stress transfer; The large-scale storage tank foundation also provides a place for mechanical operation for the asphalt sand insulating layer construction, and ensures the asphalt sand insulating layer construction quality. Therefore, this Article specifies that the number of representative samples increases with the increase of area. 6.5.8 In order to meet the design elevation requirements, this Article stipulates that the difference between the measured elevation and the calculated elevation (calculated elevation: that is, the design elevation) is used to control the flatness of large-scale storage tank foundation. 51 SH/T 3528-2014 6.5.11 The asphalt sand insulating layer of the storage tank foundation is the bearing contact surface of the metal tank, and it is also an important measure to protect the storage tank bottom plate from electrochemical corrosion and prevent the capillary water rise of the sand layer. Therefore, the compactness of the asphalt sand insulating layer is very important. Similarly, the mix proportion of asphalt sand is also related to the final compaction effect of asphalt sand layer. The mix proportion specified in this Article is the dominant item. 6.7 Construction of auxiliary facilities The auxiliary facilities specified in this Article mainly refer to the operating platform, apron and bottom sealing of the storage tank. The operating platform, apron and bottom sealing of the storage tank are the operation items carried out after the leak test and settlement observation are qualified. Sealing is very key. Poor anti-corrosion and rust removal will lead to storage tank bottom corrosion, and poor joint between sealing material and heat insulation material will lead to rainwater entering the heat insulation layer through sealing. 7. Leak Test and Foundation Settlement Observation 7.1 General provisions 7.1.6, 7.1.7 This articles specifies the requirements and regulations for storage tank foundation settlement observation. After the storage tank is filled with water for 48h, if the maximum settlement value and uneven settlement value do not exceed the allowable value, it is considered that the foundation settlement test is qualified, and then the water can be drained. If the uneven settlement exceeds the allowable deviation value, it needs to immediately analyze the causes and take measures to stop water filling or drain to prevent foundation instability, In addition, it is also necessary to observe the leakage of the storage tank due to uneven settlement. 8. Defect Disposal The storage tank foundation defect disposal method is mainly based on the storage tank foundation settlement. An economic and reliable method with convenient construction and less impact shall be selected after analyzing the current stress state of storage tank body and foundation. During the specific implementation, calculation, test and checking calculation shall be carried out to ensure the safety and reliability of the repair scheme, and the durability after repair shall be considered. 52 SH/T 3528-2014 After the leak test and settlement observation of the storage tank foundation is completed, the concave-convex deformation or hollowing of the storage tank bottom plate is common. If the deformation error is not greater than the specified value, it is appropriate to maintain the current redistribution of the stress of the storage tank bottom plate; otherwise, it is necessary to deal with the concave-convex deformation or hollowing. The specific error limit is given. 9. Technical Documents for Handover Before the acceptance of storage tank foundation, the construction unit shall organize self-inspection and timely repair the parts with quality defects until they meet the acceptance standards specified in this Specification, and then the construction unit shall deliver it to the development / supervision unit for the acceptance. The acceptance shall be carried out in two aspects: one is that the technical data meet the requirements; the other is that the on-site measured data meet the requirements. The technical documents for handover shall be compiled and delivered to the development unit according to the provisions of the contract or SH/T 3503. 53 SH/T 3528-2014 Petrochemical Industry Standard of the People's Republic of China Specification for Construction and Acceptance of Steel Storage Tank Subgrade & Foundation in Petrochemical Industry SH/T 3528-2014 * Published by China Petrochemical Press Issued by Sinopec Engineering Standard Distribution Station Address: No. 58, Andingmenwai Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing Postcode: 100011 Tel: (010) 84271850 Telephone of Sinopec Standard Editorial Department: (010) 84289937 Telephone of Reader Service Department: (010) 84289974 http://www.sinopec-press.com E-mail: press@sinopec.com Copyright proprietary without reproduction * Book size 880×1230 1/16 Sheets 2.75 Words 70,000 Version 1 in May 2015 First Printing in May 2015 * ISBN: 155114 • 1032 Pricing: CNY 38.00 (Please identify the anti-counterfeiting mark on the cover when purchasing) 54
