Seismic Analysis of Safety-Related Nuclear Structures and Commentary
About this episode
Provides detailed technical requirements and commentary for earthquake engineering within the nuclear industry. The document specifies various acceptable analysis methods, such as time history, response spectrum, and complex frequency response, along with extensive guidance on modeling structures, including material properties, mass, and damping ratios. A significant portion addresses the complexities of Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI), detailing both direct and impedance-function approaches, and procedures for evaluating special structures like seismic-isolated buildings and fluid-containing tanks. Finally, the text compares this standard to advanced probabilistic methods like the Seismic Probabilistic Risk Assessment (SPRA) and the Seismic Margin Assessment (SMA) methodologies, particularly for evaluations beyond the design basis.
