This book was released on 2015 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work studies the seismic analysis and design of systems with multiple support motions. Examples of such structures are nuclear safety - related piping, bridges with widely spaced piers, pipelines and tunnels. Dynamic analysis of such systems is more elaborate than analysis of other general structures such as buildings, because it must consider the relationships among various support motions, or explicitly, the correlations between them. Herein, a method that models such correlations is presented. A time domain space state Markov vector approach is used to define a target covariance matrix of a vector random process and this matrix is used as a target for an AR simulation of correlated acceleration time histories.To provide a facility for experimental testing of multiply supported structures, a four-table seismic simulation system was designed, fabricated and tuned to have the ability of executing correlated multiply supported excitations. Features, performance curves, control and implementation details of the system are given as a manual for operation and testing.A review of existing problems and methods for analysis of nuclear piping systems is provided. A set of experiments is performed to evaluate responses of “stiff” and more “flexible” piping designs to correlated, response-spectrum-compatible support motions. These preliminary tests show effects of correlation on piping responses. Guidance is given on more comprehensive experiments needed to evaluate piping designs that are more “flexible”. The system of shaking tables proved to be fully functional.Linearized analytical and numerical models of “stiff” and “flexible” piping are defined. Analytical and numerical eigenvalues are compared. The numerical models are used for predicting responses and comparing these responses to experimental results. Necessary features of a nonlinear model that may be capable of predicting geometrically non-linear behavior of a hanger pipe support (self-weight support) are discussed.

This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Structural Integrity Research of the Electric Power Research Institute presents the result of the mission of the Electric Power Research Institute to conduct research and development promoting the clean, safe, and economical generation of power by the utility industry. This book covers nuclear plant design, licensing, and regulation questions. Organized into 13 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the primary motivations for structural integrity research, including insights into reactor safety from probabilistic risk assessments and the increasing costs of plant structural components. This text then examines the SIMQUAKE series of field tests on model containment structures. Other chapters consider the methodology for realistically predicting fluid–structure interaction transient loads and the structural response of the reactor vessel, core support barrel, and core. This book discusses as well the ABAQUS finite element program. The final chapter deals with high-amplitude dynamic tests. This book is a valuable resource for engineers.
Download or read book Earthquake Resistant Buildings written by M.Y.H. Bangash and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-08-19 with total page 730 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This concise work provides a general introduction to the design of buildings which must be resistant to the effect of earthquakes. A major part of this design involves the building structure which has a primary role in preventing serious damage or structural collapse. Much of the material presented in this book examines building structures. Due to the recent discovery of vertical components, it examines not only the resistance to lateral forces but also analyses the disastrous influence of vertical components. The work is written for Practicing Civil, Structural, and Mechanical Engineers, Seismologists and Geoscientists. It serves as a knowledge source for graduate students and their instructors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seismic design of secondary systems such as piping requires knowledge of the motions at various locations of the primary structures. When the structure or buildings are subjected to earthquake-like excitations at the ground level, the responses at different floor levels may be quite different from each other. This difference depends on the building and soil frequency characteristics, the characteristics of the input signals, the damping levels, and soil-structure interaction effects. When multiple independent excitations are considered in the analysis of piping systems, the responses can be considered to have two distinct components. One is due to the inertia of masses alone (dynamic component) and the other is due to the time varying differential motion of the support points (pseudo-static component). To address this problem, a sample of six piping systems, two of which were subjected to thirty-three earthquakes, were studied to develop a statistical assessment of different methods of predicting the dynamic, pseudo-static and combined response. Both uniform and independent support motion methods were considered. The results are obtained in tabular form. The mean and standard deviation for the two piping systems subjected to thirty-three earthquakes were obtained to allow an assessment of the adequacy and level of conservatism associated with each method. These results are also displayed in graphical form for selected, critical locations in the piping systems. The limitations of each method and recommendations are discussed.
