HDR (Heissdampfreaktor) Phase 2 vibrational experiments
As part of the second phase of vibrational/earthquake investigations at the HDR (Heissdampfreaktor) Test Facility in Kahl/Main, FRG, high-level shaker tests (SHAG) were performed during June and July 1986. The purpose of these experiments is to investigate full-scale structural response, soil-structure interaction, and piping and equipment response under strong excitation conditions. While global safety considerations imposed load limitations, the HDR soil/structure system was nevertheless tested to its capacity limits. The performance of up to seven different multiple support pipe hanger configurations (ranging from flexible to stiff systems) was evaluated in the tests. Data obtained in the tests serve to validate analysis methods.
