High-fidelity numerical analysis of the damage and failure mechanisms of a prestressed concrete containment vessel under internal pressure

Nuclear Engineering and Design, 2021
Abstract The safety of nuclear power plants, which is of great public concern, depends largely on the safety of prestressed concrete containment vessels (PCCVs). To ensure the safety of PCCVs, researchers have conducted many experimental investigations and numerical simulations in recent decades.

Structural design criteria for primary containment structures (Prestressed concrete reactor vessels)

Nuclear Engineering and Design, 1969
Abstract Starting from a general design philosophy which derives the requirements for a primary containment structure from the characteristics of a power reactor system, specific structural design criteria are formulated. The general structural response of a PCRV to various loads, the types and combinations of loads to be considered, and allowable ...

Analysis of a prestressed-concrete containment vessel exposed to high pressure and temperature

In the thesis, the topic of structural feasibility analyses of prestressed-concrete cylindrical containment structures subjected to high pressure and temperature loads is investigated. The motivation for investigating this specific topic is to solve a practical problem discovered during research and development of a novel reactor, which is currently ...
