Correlation of Fukushima data with SSI models

Year: 1985

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: The seismic response of nuclear power plant structures is often calculated using lumped parameter methods. A finite element model of the structure is coupled to the soil with a spring-dashpot system used to represent the interaction process. The parameters of the interaction model are based on analytic solutions to simple problems which are idealizations of the actual problem. The objective of this work is to compare predicted responses using the standard lumped parameter models with experimental data. Comparisons are made between response predictions based on lumped parameter models and measured data at the Fukushima Reactor Containment Building during a moderately large earthquake. These comparisons are shown to be good for fairly uniform soil systems. 6 refs., 4 figs.
