THE 2009 FORUM ON SEISMIC DESIGN OF PIPING SYSTEMS FOR THE YEAR 2010

摘要

A summary of The 2009 Forum on Seismic Design of Piping Systems for the Year 2010 is provided. This forum session was the thirteenth in a series that was started in 1992. Previously, the title was Appropriate Criteria and Methods for Seismic Design of Nuclear Piping. In this 2009 forum, the main topic of discussion was "Dynamic Response Behavior of Piping." Test results from three experimental programs were reviewed. The Berkeley NL vibration tests, the University of Liverpool vibration tests, and the EPRI/NRC Piping and Fitting Dynamic Reliability Program. The self-limiting nature of piping response by inelastic energy absorption is obvious from the experimental data.
