Seismic Capacity Test of Overhead Crane under Horizontal and Vertical Excitation - Element Model Test Results on Nonlinear Response Behavior-

摘要

The seismic capacity regarding the structural strength and operative function of equipment has been an important issue for seismic safety assessments of nuclear power plants. Since the new safety review guidelines for seismic design of nuclear power plants in Japan require dynamic analysis for vertical excitation, it has become an important issue to confirm the seismic capacity of equipment under vertical excitation.
