Seismic Proving Test of a Reinforced Concrete Containment Vessel (RCCV)Part-5 Simulation Analysis of the Safety Margin Test

摘要

Seismic proving tests for a reinforced concrete containment vessel (RCCV) were carried out by Nuclear PowerEngineering Corporation (NUPEC) with an 1/8 scale model using the large-scale, high perforrnance shaking table ofTadotsu Engineering Laboratory during 1998 to 1999. These tests consist of proving tests and margin tests. Provingtests were carried out to confirm the structural integrity and functional soundness of RCCVs for S1 and S2 levels.Meanwhile, margin tests were performed to measure Seismic margin. On the proving test, summary, test results andsimulation analysis results have been already reported in 15 th SMiRT. In the previous part-4, summary of the margintests is presented and the test results are discussed. In this report, simulation analysis results are compared to the testresults and discussed. Moreover, safety margins were estimated by the analysis.
