Abstract

There are a lot of equipment related to safety and electric power production in nuclear power plants. The structure and equipment in NPPs were generally designed considering a high safety factor to remain in the elastic zone under earthquake load. However it is needed to revaluate the seismic capacity of the structure and equipment as the magnitude of earthquake was recently increased. In this study the floor response due to the nonlinear behaviors of structure was analyzed and the inelastic structural response factor was calculated by the nonlinear time history analysis. The inelastic structural response factor was calculated by the EPRI method and the nonlinear analysis method to realistically evaluate the seismic fragility for the equipment. According to the analysis result, it was represented that the inelastic structural response factor was affected by the natural frequency of equipment, the location of equipment and the dynamic property of structure.

원자력발전소에는 전력생산과 안전과 관련된 수많은 기기들이 존재하고 있다. 기본적으로 원자력발전소의 구조물과 기기는 지진시 탄성거동올 목표로 안전율을 매우 높게 적용하여 설계해 왔다. 그러나 최근 발생한 지진의 규모가 증가함에 따라 설계수준을 초과한 지진에 대한 기기의 안전성을 재평가할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 구조물의 비선형 거동에 의한 층응답을 분석하였고, 비선형해석에 의한 구조물의 비탄성구조응답계수를 재평가하였다. 기기의 지진취약도 평가시 구조물의 비탄성구조응답이 어떤 영향을 주는지 분석하기 위하여 재평가된 구조물의 비탄성구조응답계수와 기존에 사용되어온 구조물 비탄성구조응답계수를 적용하여 지진취약도 평가를 수행하였다. 해석결과에 따르면 비탄성구조응답계수는 기기의 고유진동수, 기기의 위치 그리고 구조물의 동특성에 따라 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.
