Evaluation of Seismic Margin of Existing Steel Structure Based on Seismic Margin Assessment
내진여유도평가법에 근거한 기존 강구조물의 내진성능평가
Abstract
The Turbine Building of nuclear power plant is classified as non safety-related structure. During the operation, there may be possibility the original licensing basis would be changed, which makes non safety-related structure safety-related. Such a change in regulation requires utility to perform seismic qualification for the existing structure and their facilities. Thus it is meaningful to evaluate seismic margin of the existing non-qualified building structure. In addition, in this paper it is shown that a modification to the structure can enhance their seismic capacity.
