Abstract: The glass fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) double-wall tanks not only have long life, good anticorrosion property, self-weight light, free maintenance and other advantages, but also can effectively monitor oil leakage by installing continuous monitoring system in the sandwich of double-wall. Although the FRP buried double-wall tank has been widely used in foreign countries, but the design and research about this product is very lag in China. For this reason, the finite element model of FRP buried double-wall tank was built by using the ABAQUS/CAE module and the three-dimensional design software SolidWorks, and the stiffness and strength of this tank under the load in accordance with UL1316 standard were also calculated and analyzed. This article aims to analyze the reliability and applicability of FRP buried double-wall tank on filling station construction.
