“…Equivalent-linear analysis codes such as SASSI (Ref. 5) have been widely used to calculate the seismic SSI response of safety-critical nuclear structures 65,66 since the 1980s. After the Fukushima Daichi NPP incident, 67 seismic demands for beyond-design-basis events have been a growing concern.…”

Seismic analysis and risk assessment of safety-critical infrastructure like hospitals, nuclear power plants, dams, and facilities handling radioactive materials involve computationally intensive numerical models and coupled multiphysics scenarios. They are also performed in a strict regulatory environment that requires high software quality assurance standards, and in the case of safety-related nuclear facilities, a conformance to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Nuclear Quality Assurance (NQA-1) standard. This paper introduces the open-source finite-element software, MASTODON (Multihazard Analysis of Stochastic Time-Domain Phenomena), which implements state-of-the-art seismic analysis and risk assessment tools in a quality-controlled environment. MASTODON is built on MOOSE (Multi-physics Object-Oriented Simulation Environment), which is a highly parallelizable, NQA-1 conforming, coupled multiphysics, finite-element framework developed at Idaho National Laboratory. MASTODON is capable of fault rupture and source-to-site wave propagation using the domain reduction method, nonlinear site response, and soil-structure interaction analysis, implicit and explicit time integration, automated stochastic simulations, and seismic probabilistic risk assessment. When coupled with other MOOSE applications, MASTODON can also solve strongly and weakly coupled multiphysics problems. This paper presents a summary of the capabilities of MASTODON and some demonstrative examples.

“…Ganev et al [11] presented the results from forced vibration tests (FVT) microtremor observations and earthquake response analysis. The dynamic behaviour of the soil-structure system was simulated with two numerical models: a sway-rocking model whose soil parameters were evaluated on the basis of continuum formulation method (CFM) and the finite element method with the flexible volume substructuring approach.…”

SUMMARYThis paper presents a general discussion on the application of computational mechanics concepts to solve engineering problems involving interaction effects between different media-for example, structure-soil/rock interaction and/or different phases such as solid-fluid interaction. The discussion includes illustrations based on numerical analyses of such problems using coupled finite element and boundary element, coupled finite element and infinite element methods. A few of the other mechanics concepts such as damage mechanics and optimization are also included in the discussion.

SUMMARYThis paper presents results of observation and analysis of the response of one of the longest cable-stayed bridges in the world to the Hyogoken-Nanbu (Kobe) Earthquake of 17 January 1995. It is determined that interaction of the foundations of the bridge towers with the supporting soil plays a decisive role in the overall structural behaviour. The key factor governing the changes of the soil properties at this site is pore-water pressure buildup, which results in liquefaction of the saturated surface soil layers under large dynamic loads. Models of the soil and structure are created and initially validated by accurately simulating the system response to a small earthquake. Soil parameters reflecting the pore-water pressure buildup in the strong earthquake are determined by an advanced non-linear effective stress analysis, combining the Ramberg-Osgood model of stress-strain dependence with a pore pressure model based on shear work concept. They are utilized to investigate and simulate the interaction of the foundation and the supporting soil using the program SASSI with the flexible volume substructuring approach. The results show a good agreement with the observations and have useful implications to the scientific and engineering practice.
