Seismic Evaluation of Water Storage Tanks Considering Soil-Structure-Fluid Interaction Effects

Jul 26, 2022

This paper presents the framework for a performance-based seismic assessment of coupled soil-structure-fluid systems via integrated 3D finite element (FE) analysis. The proposed strain-based performance approach reduces the conservatism and uncertainty associated with...

Simulation of Soil Structure Interaction Supporting Seismic Shake Table Tests of a Full-Scale Dry Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel

Jul 26, 2022

Introduction Currently, spent nuclear fuel (SNF) is stored in onsite independent spent fuel storage installations (ISFSIs), which are dry storage facilities, at 55 nuclear power plant sites. Because the SNF will be stored at ISFSIs for an extended period of time,...

Investigating the Shear Performance of SC Walls Under Impact Loads

Jul 26, 2022

Steel-plate composite (SC) structures consist of infilled concrete between steel faceplates with shear ties connecting the front and back faceplates. Shear ties can be made of bars, rebars, plates, or steel shapes. Currently, there is a tendency in the nuclear...
