Abstract:This study is focused on vertical concrete dry casks and their structural performance in seismic and tip-over events, aiming for risk estimation of large seismically induced motions (large sliding and tip-over) and structural damage due to the tip-over loads. Both numerical and experimental work was conducted to investigate the long-term performance of the concrete outerpacks with an exposed surface. Material level studies provided additional data to the existing literature on how to accelerate the corrosion a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
