  • VESTA (Verification of Ex-vessel corium STAbilization) and VESTA-S (-small) test facilities were constructed at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute in 2010 to perform various corium melt experiments. Since then, several tests have been performed for the verification of an ex-vessel core catcher design for the EU-APR1400. Ablation tests of an impinging $ZrO_2$ melt jet on a sacrificial material were performed to investigate the ablation characteristics. $ZrO_2$ melt in an amount of 65-70 kg was discharged onto a sacrificial material through a well-designed nozzle, after which the ablation depths were measured. Interaction tests between the metallic melt and sacrificial material were performed to investigate the interaction kinetics of the sacrificial material. Two types of melt were used: one is a metallic corium melt with Fe 46%, U 31%, Zr 16%, and Cr 7% (maximum possible content of U and Zr for C-40), and the other is a stainless steel (SUS304) melt. Metallic melt in an amount of 1.5-2.0 kg was delivered onto the sacrificial material, and the ablation depths were measured. Penetration tube failure tests were performed for an APR1400 equipped with 61 in-core instrumentation penetration nozzles and extended tubes at the reactor lower vessel. $ZrO_2$ melt was generated in a melting crucible and delivered down into an interaction crucible where the test specimen is installed. To evaluate the tube ejection mechanism, temperature distributions of the reactor bottom head and in-core instrumentation penetration were measured by a series of thermocouples embedded along the specimen. In addition, lower vessel failure tests for the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant are being performed. As a first step, the configuration of the molten core in the plant was investigated by a melting and solidification experiment. Approximately 5 kg of a mixture, whose composition in terms of weight is $UO_2$ 60%, Zr 10%, $ZrO_2$ 15%, SUS304 14%, and $B_4C$ 1%, was melted in a cold crucible using an induction heating technique.

  • In recent years, many research works have been carried out in order to obtain a more controlled durability and long-term performance of concrete structures in chloride containing environments. In particular, the development of new procedures for probability-based durability analysis/design has proved to be very valuable. Although there is still a lack of relevant data, this approach has been successfully applied to some new concrete structures. In this paper, the equation used for modelling of the chloride penetration was based on Fick's Second Law of Diffusion in combination with a time dependent diffusion coefficient. The probability analysis of the durability performance was performed by use of a Monte Carlo Simulation. The procedure was applied to an example based on limited data gathered in this country. The influences of each parameter on the durability of concrete structures are studied and some comments for durability design are given. The new procedure may be very useful in designing an important concrete structures in chloride containing environments. Also it may help to predict the service life of concrete structures under a given probability of failure.

  • 철도사면은 예상치 못한 연약지반의 존재로 인해 붕괴될 수 있다. 이 연구는 철도사면의 파괴원인을 규명하고 대책공법 적용을 위한 강도정수를 결정하는데 그 목적이 있다. 사면파괴의 원인을 파악하기 위하여 시추조사, 콘관입시험, 현장베인시험 등이 수행되었다. 또한 연약지반의 강도정수를 구하기 위해 불교란상태로 시료를 채취하여 실내시험을 수행하였다. 현장원위치시험 및 실내시험 결과 사면 파괴의 원인은 과압밀점토의 점진적 파괴에 따른 연약지반 강도저하영역의 전파에 기인한 것으로 밝혀졌다.

  • Maintaining the integrity of the major equipment in nuclear power plants is critical to the safety of the structures. In particular, the soundness of the piping is a critical matter that is directly linked to the safety of nuclear power plants. Currently, the limit state of the piping design standard is plastic collapse, and the actual pipe failure is leakage due to a penetration crack. Actual pipe failure, however, cannot be applied to the analysis of seismic fragility because it is difficult to quantify. This paper proposes methods of measuring the failure strain and deformation angle, which are necessary for evaluating the quantitative failure criteria of the steel pipe elbow using an image measurement system. Furthermore, the failure strain and deformation angle, which cannot be measured using the conventional sensors, were efficiently measured using the proposed methods.

  • To improve occupants' safety in an emergency, crashworthy design is necessary to rotorcraft design and development. To improve crashworthiness capability, most of the crash energy should be absorbed by rotorcraft and the energy transmitted to the occupants should be minimized. To absorb the crash energy efficiently, the individual energy attenuation provided by landing gear, structure, fuel tank and seats should be considered totally. Especially, landing gear has the important role for crashworthy design because landing gear absorbs relatively large energy for the crash landing. In addition, military specifications require failure of landing gear shall not increase danger to any occupants by penetration of the airframe. To meet the specification requirements, failure mechanism should be prepared so that landing gear is collapsed safely and doesn't penetrate the airframe. In this study, design of failure mechanism which is necessary for the rotorcraft landing gear was performed and the results were presented.

  • 본 연구는 모래다짐말뚝으로 개량된 연약지반에 대해 수행한 원심모형시험에 대한 것이다. 부분적으로 또는 전체적으로 관입된 모래다짐말뚝에 의해 개량된 복합지반의 파괴거동을 규명하고 관입률과 치환율의 효과를 비교하기 위해 9회의 원심모형실험이 수행되었다. 실험 결과로부터 전체 관입지반의 침하감소비는 부분 관입지반의 침하감소비보다 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 모래다짐말뚝으로 보강된 복합지반의 파괴각이 치환율 10%에서 26, 25, $34^{\circ}$ 치환율 30%에서 22, $29^{\circ}$인 것으로 나타났다. 강성재하 시험 결과, 표층변위는 관입비의 증가에 따라 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

  • This paper describes a probabilistic fracture mechanics (PFM) analysis based on Monte Carlo (MC) simulation. In the analysis of CANDU pressure tube, it is necessary to perform the PFM analyses based on statistical consideration of flaw generation time. A depth and an aspect ratio of initial semi-elliptical surface crack, a fracture toughness value, delayed hydride cracking (DHC) velocity, and flaw generation time are assumed to be probabilistic variables. In all the analyses, degradation of fracture toughness due to neutron irradiation is considered. Also, the failure criteria considered are plastic collapse, unstable fracture and crack penetration. For the crack growth by DHC, the failure probability was evaluated in due consideration of flaw generation time.

  • Reliability-based durability model was developed to consider the uncertainty of analysis variables in durability model for harbor concrete structures. The durability analysis program based on Finite Element Method (FEM) was modified adopting the reliability concept to estimate the probability of durability failure. Water-cement ratio in the durability analysis is the most important factor influencing chloride diffusion coefficient, evaporable water, etc. The probability distribution of water-cement ratio was calculated converting standard deviations of compressive strength in Concrete Standard Code to those of water-cement ratio. Based on the Monte Carlo Simulation, the probabilities of penetration depth and durability failure were calculated.
