Seismic isolation structure for pool-type LMFBR — Isolation building with vertically isolated floor for NSSS
Abstract
In the design of nuclear power plants, a critical issue is the determination of loadings and response due to earthquakes. A key principle in structural developments of nuclear power plants is the need to maintain elastic behavior during earthquake. Therefore, usual aseismic design requires stiffened structural design for equipments as well as buildings in order to avoid excessive response to seismic waves and to maintain elasticity.
