Abstract: This study enables intelligent LNG(liquefied natural gas)tank monitoring by combining ground LiDAR,UAV radar,static level gauges,and vibrating wire sensors to analyze outer tank deformation in Guangxi's Beihai LNG project.Findings reveal, 0~5 m tank zone exhibits convex deformation (max 28.7 mm)due to gravity-load-induced concrete creep; longitudinal deformation uniformity exceeds transverse,attributed to more uniform longitudinal prestress; surface flatness deviation (21.3 mm)exceeds standard,suggesting uneven settlement; relative settlement range (-1.26 to 0.82 mm)meets requirements; concrete circumferential stress inversely correlates with temperature as foundation constraints generate additional stress during thermal variation.

Key words: LNG tank, ground LiDAR, UAV radar, static level gauge, vibrating wire sensor
