Abstract

The influence of different soil properties on the response behaviour of buildings and components was investigated using the finite element method. The first example is concerned with a high temperature reactor. Floor response spectra and rocking of the prestressed reactor pressure vessel are calculated. In another example the influence of soil-structure interaction on the response of embedded buildings is shown.

Influence of Soil-Structure Interaction on the Response of Nuclear Power Stations under Earthquake Excitation

St. Louis, Missouri

The first example is concerned with a high temperature reactor. Floor response spectra and rocking of the prestressed reactor pressure vessel are calculated.
