Seismic Analysis of Nuclear Project for Joint between Intake Tunnel and Circumfluence Groove

Abstract

By adopting dynamic time-history analysis method, the seismic analysis for the joint between intake tunnel and circumfluence groove is performed by FLAC3D. Aiming at the mechanical characteristics of this structure and rocky features, according to the design scheme, the analysis of seismic response is carried out, on the base of which envelopes of internal forces are given in this paper. The results show that change of the temperature has much influence on internal force in the same load effect combination. Temperature load also change the direction of internal force in some part. For the similar anti-seismic design, this paper has certain reference value and guiding sense.
