Experimental research on destruction mechanism of large-scale floating-roof oil tank under blast loading

To explore the dynamic response of a super-large oil tank affected by gaseous mixture explosion,impact experiments were conducted on floating-roof oil-tank models impacted by steady blast wave,which was induced by the reaction of acetylene/air mixtures propagating along a pipe,in inflammable mixture detonation facilities.The overpressure load,dynamic strain and vibration acceleration histories were measured at the walls of the oil-tank...
