Abstract

To satisfy the need for verification of the computer programs and modeling techniques that will be used to perform the final piping analyses for the ABB/Combustion Engineering System 80+ Standardized Plant, three benchmark problems were developed. The problems are representative piping systems subjected to representative dynamic loads with solutions developed using the methods being proposed for analysis for the System 80+ standard design. It will be required that the combined license licensees demonstrate that their solution to these problems are in agreement with the benchmark problem set. The first System 80+ piping benchmark is a uniform support motion response spectrum solution for one section of the feedwater piping subjected to safe shutdown seismic loads. The second System 80+ piping benchmark is a time history solution for the feedwater piping subjected to the transient loading induced by a water hammer. The third System 80+ piping benchmark is a time history solution of the pressurizer surge line subjected to the accelerations induced by a main steam line pipe break. The System 80+ reactor is an advanced PWR type.

Piping benchmark problems: dynamic analysis independent support motion response spectrum method

Bezler, P. ; Subudhi, M. ; Hartzman, M.

Four benchmark problems and solutions were developed for verifying the adequacy of computer programs used for the dynamic analysis and design of elastic piping systems by the independent support motion, response spectrum method. The dynamic loading is represented by distinct sets of support excitation spectra assumed to be induced by non-uniform excitation in three spatial directions. Complete input descriptions for each problem are provided and the solutions include predicted natural frequencies, participation factors, nodal displacements and element forces for independent support excitation and also for uniform envelope spectrum excitation. Solutions to the associated anchor point pseudo-static displacements are not included.
Piping benchmark problems. Volume 1. Dynamic analysis uniform support motion response spectrum method

Bezler, P. ; Hartzman, M. ; Reich, M.

A set of benchmark problems and solutions have been developed for verifying the adequacy of computer programs used for dynamic analysis and design of nuclear piping systems by the Response Spectrum Method. The problems range from simple to complex configurations which are assumed to experience linear elastic behavior. The dynamic loading is represented by uniform support motion, assumed to be induced by seismic excitation in three spatial directions. The solutions consist of frequencies, participation factors, nodal displacement components and internal force and moment components. Solutions to associated anchor point motion static problems are not included.

Development of solutions to benchmark piping problems

Reich, M ; Chang, T Y ; Prachuktam, S ; ...

Benchmark problems and their solutions are presented. The problems consist in calculating the static and dynamic response of selected piping structures subjected to a variety of loading conditions. The structures range from simple pipe geometries to a representative full scale primary nuclear piping system, which includes the various components and their supports. These structures are assumed to behave in a linear elastic fashion only, i.e., they experience small deformations and small displacements with no existing gaps, and remain elastic through their entire response. The solutions were obtained by using the program EPIPE, which is a modification of the widely availablemore »« less

Development of solutions to benchmark piping problems. [EPIPE code]

Reich, M. ; Chang, T.Y. ; Prachuktam, S.

Piping analysis is one of the most extensive engineering efforts required for the design of nuclear reactors. Such analysis is normally carried out by use of computer programs which can handle complex piping geometries and various loading conditions, (static or dynamic). A brief outline is presented of the theoretical background for the EPIPE program, together with four benchmark problems: two for the static case and two for the dynamic case. The results obtained from EPIPE runs compare well with those available from known analytical solutions or from other independent computer programs.
