34、Technical Committee 59A on liquefied natural gas (LNG). That committee is responsible for NFPA 59A, which is an internationally recognized standard governing the production, storage, and handling of LNG at an operating temperature of 270F.NFPA 59A contains provisions for the use of rein-forced concr
35、ete and prestressed concrete for two principal applications: 1) impoundmentsecondary containment in conjunction with a metallic primary container; and 2) storageprimary containment. NFPA 59A is somewhat limited; it does not provide guidelines specifically tailored to concrete use at cryogenic temper
36、atures. This limitation was the impetus for Committee 59As request. Although the request was related specifically to containment of LNG, this code addresses concrete use for other refrigerated liquefied gas (RLG) as well, ranging in operating temperatures from +40 to 325F. This makes the code and co
37、mmentary analo-gous to the American Petroleum Institutes API 620, which governs design and construction of steel and aluminum RLG storage tanks to 270F.The most common use of reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete in cryogenic storage applications is for secondary containment around metal prim
38、ary storage tanks. Prestressed concrete primary containment tanks were built in North America and Europe from the 1960s through the 1980s. Renewed interest in the use of concrete for primary containment and the need for a code that addressed secondary concrete containment led to the development of t
39、his code, which includes pertinent excerpts from ACI 318-11 and ACI 350-06. The commentary includes considerations by the committee in developing the code.The commentary is not intended to provide a complete historical background concerning development of the code, nor is it intended to provide a de
40、tailed summary of the studies and research data reviewed by the committee in formulating its provisions. References to specific research data are provided for more in-depth study of the background materials.ACI 376 may be used as a part of a legally adopted code and, as such, must differ in form and
41、 substance from docu-ments that provide detailed specifications, recommended practice, complete design procedures, or design aids.Requirements more stringent than the code provisions are desirable for unusual structures. This code and commentary cannot replace sound engineering knowledge, experience
42、, and judgment. A code for design and construction states the minimum requirements necessary to provide for public health and safety. ACI 376 is based on this principle. For any structure, the owner and engineer may require the quality of materials and construction to be higher than the minimum requ
43、irements necessary to provide serviceability and to protect the public as stated in the code. Lower standards, however, are not permitted.ACI 376 has no legal status unless it is adopted by regula-tory bodies. Where the code has not been adopted, it may serve as a reference to good practice. The cod
44、e provides a means of establishing minimum standards for acceptance of design and construction by a legally appointed official or designated representative. The code and commentary are not intended for use in settling disputes between the owner, engineer, contractor, or their agents, subcontrac-tors
45、, material suppliers, or testing agencies. Therefore, the code cannot define the contract responsibility of each of the parties in typical construction. General references requiring compliance with ACI 376 in the job specifications should be avoided because the contractor is rarely in a position to
46、accept responsibility for design details or construction requirements that depend on a detailed knowledge of the design. Generally, the contract documents should contain all of the necessary requirements to ensure compliance with the code. In part, this can be accomplished by reference to specific c
47、ode sections in the job specifications. Other ACI publications, such as ACI 301, are written specifically for use as contract documents for construction.American Concrete Institute Copyrighted Materialwww.concrete.orgRequIRementS foR ConCRete StRuCtuReS foR ContAInment of RefRIGeRAteD LIquefIeD GASe
