Abstract

In the case of power plant facilities, seismic stability of non-structural elements is important. In particular, Cabinet structures to which electrical equipment is attached, should have functional safety against earthquakes. Therefore, in this study the dynamic characteristics of non-structural elements inside existing power plant buildings were identified and the response level generated during dynamic behavior was analyzed. In addition, The steel plate dampers were adopted and adjusted to suit the size of the target equipment. In order to derive the optimal seismic reinforcement, the variables according to the attachment location were set and the responses were analyzed by the seismic movement input before and after reinforcement.

원자력발전소와 같은 발전플랜트 시설의 경우 건물 자체뿐만 아니라 내부에 설치된 비구조요소의 내진안정성 또한 중요하다. 특히, 전기기기가 부착되는 캐비닛 구조물 등은 지진에 대비하여 기능적 안전성이 확보되어야 한다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 기존 발전플랜트 내부에서 운용 중인 전기기기 캐비닛 구조물의 동특성을 파악하고, 동적거동 시 발생되는 응답 수준을 분석하였다. 그리고 내진보강 방법 중 제진 방식을 적용하기 위해 강재 플레이트 댐퍼를 채택하고 대상기기의 크기에 적합하게 조정하였다. 또한, 최적의 보강방안을 도출하기 위해 부착위치에 따른 변수를 설정하고 보강 전·후의 지진동 입력에 의한 응답에 대하여 분석하는 연구를 수행하였다.
