Seismic Evaluation of Water Storage Tanks Considering Soil-Structure-Fluid Interaction Effects

Jul 26, 2022

This paper presents the framework for a performance-based seismic assessment of coupled soil-structure-fluid systems via integrated 3D finite element (FE) analysis. The proposed strain-based performance approach reduces the conservatism and uncertainty associated with...

Modeling of Vertical Component Ground Motion for Soil-Structure-Interaction Analyses

Jul 26, 2022

The standard assumption of modelling the vertical component by vertically propagating P waves underestimates the spatial variability of the vertical ground motion over the dimension of the foundation of large structures, which can lead to very large vertical floor...

Simulation of Soil Structure Interaction Supporting Seismic Shake Table Tests of a Full-Scale Dry Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel

Jul 26, 2022

Introduction Currently, spent nuclear fuel (SNF) is stored in onsite independent spent fuel storage installations (ISFSIs), which are dry storage facilities, at 55 nuclear power plant sites. Because the SNF will be stored at ISFSIs for an extended period of time,...
