Abstract
Nuclear Powerplants are planned and designed to withstand high internal, external pressures and impact loads. International Atomic Energy Agency recommends Design Extension Condition (Impact of Missile or Aircraft) that is a mandatory condition to be fulfilled by Containment structure. In this Finite Element Analytical study, wall joint section of containment structure is modelled and analysed for Missile body impact, and it is observed that, the surface induced pressure in wall section is dynamic in nature, as it varies with respect to time and load. By obtained 3D simulation and contour pattern on PCC panel, it is found that the induced stress is bending pressure.
期刊介绍:
The Electronic Journal of Structural Engineering (EJSE) is an international forum for the dissemination and discussion of leading edge research and practical applications in Structural Engineering. It comprises peer-reviewed technical papers, discussions and comments, and also news about conferences, workshops etc. in Structural Engineering. Original papers are invited from individuals involved in the field of structural engineering and construction. The areas of special interests include the following, but are not limited to: Analytical and design methods Bridges and High-rise Buildings Case studies and failure investigation Innovations in design and new technology New Construction Materials Performance of Structures Prefabrication Technology Repairs, Strengthening, and Maintenance Stability and Scaffolding Engineering Soil-structure interaction Standards and Codes of Practice Structural and solid mechanics Structural Safety and Reliability Testing Technologies Vibration, impact and structural dynamics Wind and earthquake engineering. EJSE is seeking original papers (research or state-of the art reviews) of the highest quality for consideration for publication. The papers will be published within 3 to 6 months. The papers are expected to make a significant contribution to the research and development activities of the academic and professional engineering community.
