Seismic design assessment by experimental methods. Notes from the workshop. Working material

Abstract

The workshop intended to provide training on the application of experimental techniques (mainly laboratory testing) as support to the seismic design of structures, equipment and components for nuclear power plants. The focus was on the activities planned by Nuclear Power Institute of China (NPIC) in the near future, and most of the lectures provided by the attendees, dealing with these national activities, were the basis for the discussion with the IAEA experts. Special modules were identified for the workshop, dealing with: Numerical models: detailing and comparison techniques; On site testing of structures and equipment; Special problems: Leak before Break (LBB), thermal effects, combination of seismic with other loads; General seismic behavior and design criteria for fuel assembly and core structures; Seismic qualification methodologies for reactor core, mechanical components, I and C and piping; Balancing analysis and test in seismic qualification; Design of mock-up: selection of seismic input, detailing, scaling and similitudes, selection of sensors and their location; Test planning and conduct, basic documents and specifications; Quality assurance and technical procedures in laboratory testing; Data processing techniques and interface with the numerical models. The material used for presentations by the lecturers and by the national attendees is collected in this volume  More>>

The material used for presentations by the lecturers and by the national attendees is collected in this volume together with some background literature provided by the experts with up to date references and procedures. A special chapter is added to these proceedings with the content of the discussion, for future reference and as a complement to the lectures content, more oriented to the specific, immediate needs of the attendees.}
