چکیده انگلیسی
Seismic isolation can be an effective strategy to protect critical facilities including Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) from the damaging effects of horizontal earthquake ground shaking. The increased flexibility at the base and resulting elongation of the natural vibration period of the structure leads to significant reductions in forces and acceleration transmitted to the structure above the isolation level at the expense of displacements concentrated in the isolation system. Displacement demands can be large at sites of moderate to high seismic hazard and can be accommodated by a horizontal clearance or moat at the isolation level, typically located in the basement of a structure. A surrounding moat wall can function as a stop to limit isolation system displacements and prevent bearing failure under beyond design basis shaking. However, impact of the isolated structure against the moat wall is of concern due to potential amplification in response of the superstructure. Design guidelines aim to prevent impact by specifying a required minimum clearance to stop (CS) with a low annual frequency of exceedance. A CS below the required value can be justified through analysis considering impact to the moat wall or stop. However, little guidance is available on how to model impact to the moat wall and resulting effects on the NPP superstructure. This study proposes a simplified model for impact simulation that captures the impact forces and the effects of impact on the response of seismically isolated NPPs. Variable clearance to the stop and a range of properties for the moat wall and isolation system are considered to identify parameters that influence the response. Results of these studies indicate that large NPP plants as considered here can have significant penetration into the moat wall, and thus not fully limit displacements in the isolation system, while having considerable increases in accelerations throughout the height of the NPP model.
