Dr. Mukti L. Das Seattle, Washington November 13-16, 2012 Dynamic Analysis of Nuclear Containments Using Shear Deformation Shell Dr. Mukti L. Das Seattle, Washington November 13-16, 2012 This series of PowerPoint presentations covers the fundamentals of the design of seismic-resistant steel building structures. The primary focus of the material is on ductile detailing of steel structures for seismic resistance, rather than on calculation of lateral forces, dynamic analysis, or other general topics on earthquake engineering. The material is intended primarily for use at the graduate level, although many portions of the presentations are appropriate for undergraduates. The presentations are closely tied to the 2005 AISC Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings (referred to herein as the AISC Seismic Provisions). The presentations discuss basic principles of the behavior of seismic response of steel structures, and show how these principles are treated in the AISC Seismic Provisions. The presentations are most effective if the students have a copy of the AISC Seismic Provisions. A free copy can be downloaded from the AISC website, at: www.aisc.org. For basic steel design topics, the presentation refers to the 2005 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (herein referred to as the AISC Specification). Both the 2005 AISC Seismic Provisions and AISC Specification are written in the combined LRFD - ASD format. These PowerPoint presentations, however, present only the LRFD format. For seismic-resistant design, the LRFD format is preferable, in that it more closely follows the element capacity concepts used seismic design. For code related seismic-design topics not covered in the AISC Seismic Provisions (seismic design categories, R-factors, seismic over strength factors, etc.), the presentations refer to ASCE 7-05 (with Supplement 1) - Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures.

Plates And Shell Theories To idealize a structure as a mathematical model, there is a need for a structural element that has a small third dimension compared to other two dimensions. This idealization resulted to various plates/shell theories that approximate equations of three dimensional quantum mechanics. Two commonly used theories are, a) Kirchhoff-Love theory and b) Mindlin - Reissner theory In this presentation, all plates/shell theory will be referred as “Shell Theory”. This series of PowerPoint presentations covers the fundamentals of the design of seismic-resistant steel building structures. The primary focus of the material is on ductile detailing of steel structures for seismic resistance, rather than on calculation of lateral forces, dynamic analysis, or other general topics on earthquake engineering.

Experiment with a Containment (Cont’d) A Typical Containment Model for this Study Geometry: Slab Diameter =48.25 m Cylinder Diameter =45.25 m Cylinder Height =39.40m Total Height =59.00 m Cylinder Thickness = 1.2 m (Constant) Dome Thickness =1.0 m (Constant) Base Mat Thickness = 1m, 2m, 4m, 8m & 12m (One Particular Thickness at a time) Support: Soil Supported, Modeled as Winkler Spring Loading: 1) Self Weight 2) Patch Load On Base Mat: 1379.46 kN/m2 (21.3mx21.3m) 3) Accidental Internal Pressure: 1000 kN/m2 4) Wind Load of 7 kN/m2 (141 km/h) This series of PowerPoint presentations covers the fundamentals of the design of seismic-resistant steel building structures. The primary focus of the material is on ductile detailing of steel structures for seismic resistance, rather than on calculation of lateral forces, dynamic analysis, or other general topics on earthquake engineering. The material is intended primarily for use at the graduate level, although many portions of the presentations are appropriate for undergraduates. The presentations are closely tied to the 2005 AISC Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings (referred to herein as the AISC Seismic Provisions). The presentations discuss basic principles of the behavior of seismic response of steel structures, and show how these principles are treated in the AISC Seismic Provisions. The presentations are most effective if the students have a copy of the AISC Seismic Provisions. A free copy can be downloaded from the AISC website, at: www.aisc.org. For basic steel design topics, the presentation refers to the 2005 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (herein referred to as the AISC Specification). Both the 2005 AISC Seismic Provisions and AISC Specification are written in the combined LRFD - ASD format. These PowerPoint presentations, however, present only the LRFD format. For seismic-resistant design, the LRFD format is preferable, in that it more closely follows the element capacity concepts used seismic design. For code related seismic-design topics not covered in the AISC Seismic Provisions (seismic design categories, R-factors, seismic over strength factors, etc.), the presentations refer to ASCE 7-05 (with Supplement 1) - Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures.
