As the last barrier to preventing nuclear leakage, it is crucial to enhance the load-bearing capacity and cracking resistance of nuclear containment under internal pressure accidents. Currently, fiber-reinforced polymers are widely used in prestressing concrete structures because of their superior performance, but little research has been conducted on fiber-reinforced polymers in the field of nuclear power plants. In this paper, carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) is used as a prestressing tendon material instead of traditional steel strands to study the damage mode of the new type of containment under internal pressure and the feasibility of using CFRP as prestressing tendons. In this study, a three-dimensional refinement model is established, employing ABAQUS 2020 software to analyze and quantify the pressure-bearing performance of nuclear containment with CFRP tendons and finally determine the reasonable range of CFRP tendons that can be used as a replacement. The research shows that the containment with CFRP tendons has an obvious strengthening effect in delaying the generation of cracks, restraining the speed of crack development, reducing the plastic damage of the steel liner, and improving the ultimate bearing capacity of the containment.

“…It was observed that the steel liner in the vicinity of holes and concrete was very easy to detach. Zhang et al [ 15 ] constructed a representative model of a PCCV using the reliable nonlinear mechanical behavior of materials. The safety margin and performance of the model were scientifically studied under internal pressure.…”

Current investigations of performance improvement in prestressed concrete containment vessels (PCCVs) with fiber reinforcement are scarce, and the type of fiber to select for PCCVs is not explicitly stated. The failure mechanism of PCCVs with fiber reinforcement under internal pressure is investigated in this paper. The effects of different fiber types, including rigid fiber, flexible fiber, and hybrid fiber, are considered for the creation of fiber-reinforced PCCVs. The mechanical behavior between conventional and fiber-reinforced PCCVs is scientifically compared and identified. The results demonstrate that to achieve the aim of inhibiting early cracking of the concrete, any type of fiber can be taken into account. The performance of the ultimate pressure capacity and yielding of the liner can be promoted, respectively, by introducing steel, steel-PP, and steel-PVA fiber-reinforced concrete. Additionally, the failure regions can be controlled to a certain extent under ultimate internal pressure via the appropriate use of FRC.
