Free-Field Displacements Calculated with Green’s Functions Implemented in SC-SASSI

Oct 24, 2018

A key step in the formulation and solution of the soil-structure interaction (SSI) problem is the calculation of the displacements of the soil without the presence of a structure, also known as free-field displacements. The free-field displacements are used as basis...

Fluid-Soil-Structure Interaction Analysis of Tank for Seismic Evaluation of Nozzle Subjected to Differential Movement

Oct 23, 2018

This presentation summarizes the methodology and results from a recent seismic evaluation of a safety-class fire water storage tank. Tanks such as this are common at both DOE and NRC regulated nuclear facilities and their safety function following earthquake is relied...

Numerical Modeling of Concrete Building Pounding During Seismic Events-A Case Study

Oct 23, 2018

Review of existing literature on the topic of building pounding suggests that impact can not only result in potential structural damage, but can also result in large high frequency accelerations, that could cause malfunction of equipment installed within the...

Effects of Nonlinearities on Seismic Soil-Structure-Interaction Behavior of a Nuclear Plant Reactor Building: A Case Study

Aug 29, 2018

A comparative seismic soil-structure-interaction (SSI) study was performed for the reactor building of a nuclear power plant in Switzerland in order to gain insights into the relative significance of nonlinear response effects which may be triggered during...
