Abstract

It is absolutely essential that safety assessment of the containment buildings during service life because containment buildings are last barrier to protect radioactive substance due to the accidents. Therefore, this study describes an enhanced degenerated shell finite element(FE) which has been developed for nonlinear FE analysis of reinforced concrete(RC) containment buildings with elasto-plastic material model. For the purpose of the material nonlinear analysis, Drucker-Prager failure criteria is adapted in compression region and material parameters which determine the shape of the failure envelop are derived from biaxial stress tests. Reissner-Mindlin(RM) assumptions are adopted to develop the degenerated shell FE so that transverse shear deformation effects is considered. However, it is found that there are serious defects such as locking phenomena in RM degenerated shell FE since the stiffness matrix has been overestimated in some situations. Therefore, shell formulation is provided in this paper with emphasis on the terms related to the stiffness matrix based on assumed strain method. Finally, the performance of the present shell element to analysis RC containment buildings is tested and demonstrated with several numerical examples. From the numerical tests, the present results show a good agreement with experimental data or other numerical results.

격납건물은 원자로 사고발생시 방사능물질의 외부 유출을 막는 최후의 방벽이므로 가동 중 원전의 격납건물에 대한 안전성평가는 반드시 수행되어야 된다. 이러한 맥락에서 이 논문은 원전 격납건물의 비선형해석을 위해 탄소성 모델을 바탕으로 개발된 8절점 가변형도 쉘 요소와 이를 이용한 구조물의 비선형해석에 대하여 기술하였다. 비선형해석을 위해 콘크리트의 압축거동에 Drucker-Prager 파괴기준을 적용하였고 파괴포락선의 형상을 결정짓는 재료매개변수는 이축응력 실험으로부터 도출하였다. 개발된 쉘 유한요소는 퇴화 고체기법과 횡 전단변형도를 고려하기 위하여 Reissner-Mindlin(RM)가정을 도입하였고 쉘의 두께가 얇거나, 즉 종횡비가 작거나, 균일하지 않은 유한요소망을 사용할 경우 구조물의 강성이 과대하게 평가되는 묶임현상(locking phenomenon)을 제거하기 위해 본 논문에서는 가변형도법을 도입하였다. 개발된 철근콘크리트 쉘 요소의 성능검증을 위해서 벤치마크 테스트를 수행하였고 그 결과 이 논문에서 도출한 유한요소해석 결과는 실험결과와 잘 일치 하였다
