Abstract EN
Under earthquake action, the reinforced concrete structure at the edge of the CAP1400 nuclear power plant foundation slab will be uplifted.
In order to determine the seismic performance of this structure, a 1 : 12 scale shaking table test model was fabricated using gypsum as simulated concrete in order to meet scaled design requirements.
By testing this model, the seismic response of the structure with consideration of the foundation uplift was obtained.
Numerical analyses of the test model and the prototype structure were conducted to gain a better understanding of the structural seismic performance.
When subjected to earthquakes, the foundation slab of the nuclear power plant experiences a slight degree of uplift but remains in the elastic stage due to the weight of the structure above, which provides an antioverturning moment.
The numerical simulation is in general agreement with the test results, suggesting numerical simulations could be accurately employed in place of physical tests.
The superstructure displacement response was found not to affect the safety of adjacent structures, and the seismic performance of the structure was shown to meet the relevant design requirements, demonstrating that this approach to modelling can serve as a design basis for the CAP1400 nuclear power demonstration project.
