Design Margin

On the evaluation of seismic design margin of the piping and support system in the nuclear power plant, the elasto-plastic behavior of support has played the important role in the seismic response analysis. It is desirable to establish the simple and effective non-linear modeling of the support in order to conduct the seismic response analysis considering each elasto-plastic characteristics of actual numerous supports in the piping system. In this study, the simplified modeling methodology related to the elasto-plastic behavior of the support was investigated by classifying the several non-linear types by estimating the limit load capacity of support, in which the results of non-linear type classification and accompanied failure mode were compared to the static loading tests of the support. At the results, methodology to identify the non-linear type of the support with normal bi-linear model was proposed, and it was confirmed that the non-linearity of the support was classified into the five different types.

In Japan, the seismic design methods for structures are developed in the civil and architectural fields. And these seismic design technologies have also been brought to mechanical structures such as piping facilities and boiler structures, etc.. But, for the geometric time varying structure of which geometric configuration is dependent on time such as cranes, the kinetic and the dynamic characteristics of such structures are not fully considered in the seismic response analyses. In this paper, we try the modeling of the geometric time varying structure systems by means of the method of multibody dynamics. And we examine the effect of the geometric time varying system on the seismic response. The beam elements formulated by the absolute nodal coordinate are used to model the structure that has large displacement motion of the base of the structure. The crane structure for the building construction is modeled in the numerical example. The seismic responses of the moving boom part of the crane model are simulated. New phenomenon has been explored.

Self-anchored suspension bridge is widely used in Chinese City bridge engineering for the past few years. Because the anchorage system of main cable has been changed from anchorage blocks to the ends of the girder, its’ dynamic mechanics behavior is greatly distinguished with the traditional earth anchored suspension bridge. This paper studies the dynamic characteristics and seismic response of one large-span self-anchored suspension bridge which is located in China/Shenyang city. Using a spatial dynamic analysis finite element mode, the dynamic characteristics are calculated out. An artificial seismic wave is adopted as the ground motion input which is fitted with acceleration response spectrum according to the Chinese bridge anti-seismic design code. Time-integration method is used to get the seismic time-history response. Geometry nonlinear effect is considered during the time-history analysis. At last, the dynamic characteristics and the behavior of earthquake response of this type bridge structure are discussed clearly. The research results can be used as the reference of seismic response analysis and anti-seismic design for the same type of bridge.
