Earthquake response analysis of nuclear power plant buildings

摘要

This paper gives the results of earthquake response analysis of nuclear power plantbuildings in accordance with the methodology of seismic margin assessment and generic implementationprocedure. Earthquake resisting of all the important buildings was considered taking adynamic effect on soil-structures interaction into account. Limits of seismic resisting of buildingare expressed by high confidence low probability of failure. Impact contact between two structuresis modeled by gap elements during the transient. The results of dynamic transient analysis on NISAand ANSYS are compared.
