Design of missile resistant concrete panels

Conference ·
OSTI ID:4380203

In structural design of nuclear power plant facilities. Protection against structural failure in case of accidental impact of several types of projectiles must be a consideration in nuclear power plant design. A method for analyzing reinforced concrete plate elements subject to impact loads is presented. A procedure for computing various critical quantities is outlined. The walls surrounding critical equipment areas are usually made up of a series of concrete panels. A number of different flying objects have been postulated as possible missiles in previous power plant designs, including a crashing airliner. (auth)
