A study on Seismic Retrofitting of the NPP Cabinets
원전 캐비넷 구조물의 동적보강효과에 관한 연구
Abstract
In this study, the reduction schemes of ICRS(In-Cabinet Response Spectra), the main part of seismic safety qualification of old nuclear power plant(USI A-46 problem), are studied. To obtain accurate dynamic characteristics of cabinet structure, the cabinet structure modeled by frame model and its eigen analysis is performed. The three types of seismic retrofitting scenarios, such as 1) the installation of bracing, 2) installation of damper, 3) installation of tuned mass damper(TMD), are established and evaluated for the decreasing of ICRS. In the cases of 1) & 2), since, the retrofitted structures show larger ICRS than that of original structure, the careful considerations are need in the application of these methods. Though, the case of TMD show the best retrofitting result, the tuning between the real structure and analysis model is estimated the essential step of retrofitting.
