Feasibility of using ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete for radioactive waste containers: Drop test simulation

Based on the results of numerical comparative study, the UHP-FRC container suffered the least damage level and distribution among the three designs under considered loading cases. Both HSC, HSC with steel liners containers suffered high damage levels aligned between lid and container's body which might lead to an opening of the container. On the other hand, stresses and damage levels at the lid to body interface are substantially improved in case of using UHP-FRC.
