This paper shows a benchmark result regarding elastic-plastic seismic response analysis and fatigue evaluation for of piping model excitation test. National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention (NIED) has a lot of experimental results of shaking table test of piping. To propose advance seismic evaluation method for piping under severe seismic event, a task in JSME Code committee performs benchmark activity for elastic plastic seismic response analysis and evaluation for piping by using NIED’s experimental results [1]. Authors are taking part in the task and have been performed a benchmark of seismic response analysis and seismic evaluation by comparing with the experimental results. For fatigue evaluation, the strain ranges and the cycles of each range obtained from strain time history were evaluated. The response acceleration and displacement was evaluated for plastic collapse.

Abstract A Code Case, JSME S NC1, NC-CC-008, in the framework of JSME Nuclear Codes and Standards has been published. New seismic evaluation methodology for piping by utilizing advanced elastic-plastic response analysis method and strain-based fatigue criteria has been incorporated into the code case. It can achieve more rational seismic design than the current rule. This paper demonstrates validity and applicability of fatigue evaluation method proposed in the code case. Experimental results of a shaking table test for a piping model is used for comparing the evaluation by the current rule with one by the code case. As a result, it is confirmed that the code case can provide a rational and conservative result in the fatigue evaluation of piping. Moreover, cycle counting in the fatigue evaluation was examined for further progress of the code case.

Based on one 240-meter-high special-shaped RC chimney, the structure’s dynamic performance and elastic-plastic seismic response analysis has been studied in detail. From the analysis, it demonstrates the weak areas in the chimney. The interlayer displacement angle about corresponding performance points under four kinds of loading mode were also acuired, and the response of four loading patterns were analyzed.

The piping in a nuclear power plant is laid across multiple floors of a single building or two buildings, which are supported at many points. As the piping is excited by multiple-inputs from the supporting points during an earthquake, seismic response analysis by multiple excitations is needed to obtain the exact seismic response of the piping. However, few experiments involving such multiple excitation have been performed to verify the validity of multiple excitation analysis. Therefore, analysis of the seismic design of piping in Japan is performed by the enveloped Floor Response Spectrum (FRS), which covers all floor response spectra at all supporting points. The piping response estimated by enveloped FRS is conservative in most cases compared with the actual seismic response by multiple excitations. To perform rational seismic design and evaluation, it is important to investigate the seismic response by multiple excitations and to verify the validity of the analytical method by multiple excitation test. This paper reports the validation results of the multiple-excitation analysis of piping compared with the results of the multiple excitations shaking test using triple uni-axial shaking table and a 3-dimensional piping model (89.1mm diameter and 5.5mm thickness). Three directional moments from the analysis and the shaking test were compared on the validation. As the result, it is confirmed that the analysis by multiple time history excitation corresponds with the test result.

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.
