The shear wall with openings built with reinforced concrete(RC) have been elaborately studied by many researchers, whereas the steel plate concrete(SC) wall structure has not been investigated as much. Recent SC wall structures developed in Korea have been partly applied to nuclear power plant structures, although its design specification or guideline for the SC wall structure with openings has not been completed yet. This study based on the account for the area lost to openings evaluates the effects of opening on the structural capacity of the SC structure within nuclear power plant. The results obtained from the study on the area lost to openings have been compared with experimental and numerical studies.

The shear wall with openings built with reinforced concrete (RC) have been elaborately studied by many researchers, whereas the steel plate concrete (SC) wall structure has not been investigated as much. The recent SC wall structures developed in Korea have been partly applied to nuclear power plant structures, although its design specification or guideline for the SC wall structure with openings has not been completed yet. This study based on numerical analysis evaluates the effects of opening on the structural resistance of the SC structure in nuclear power plant. As a result from nonlinear analysis, since the strengthening for openings significantly affect the overall strength of SC wall, the openings should be considered to strengthen them around adjacent area. It is also proved that the strengthened openings have the sufficient resistance and ductility regardless their size, shape, location, and quantity.

We are developing the technology for applying the Rebar Modularization Method to the Nuclear Power Plant Structures. To achieve this, we had developed the elementary technology for applying this method to Nuclear Power Plant Structures efficiently and performed the Mock-Up Test by using the developed elementary technology. By analysing this test result, we deduced the problems and found solutions to solve them.

원전 격납구조물의 구조해석에 대한 대부분의 연구에서 격납구조물을 축대칭으로 모델하고 있다. 따라서 격납구조물에 배근된 강재도 축대칭으로 가정하는 것이 일반 적이며, 유한요소모델 구성시 강재는 2절점 트러스나 1절점 링 트러스요소에 의해서 모델한다. 이때 유효철근비는 트러스요소의 단면적에 의해서 표현되며, 원통형 벽체에서는 높이에 따라 배근된 강재량이 일정하므로 실제와 근접한 모델이 가능하다. 그러나, 상부돔의 축대칭모델시 돔의 자오선 방향으로 규정된 강재량이 일정치 않고, 변화하게 된다. 기존에 연구에서는 이러한 강재량의 변화를 고려하지 못하고 반경방향으로 일정한 것으로 가정하여 구조해석을 수행하여 왔다. 이와같은 모델상의 제약으로 인해서 철근이나 텐던의 조기항복, 돔 정상부 부근에서의 부 정확한 변형특성을 보이고 있다. 본 연구에서는 실제 규정된 강재량을 유한요소모델에 반영하기 위해 정점부에서 자오선 방향으로 변화되는 강재량을 모델할 수 있는 기법에 대해서 연구하였으며, 연구결과를 바탕으로 격납구조물의 극한 내압해석을 수행하여 기존 모델방법에 의한 해석결과와 비교하였다.

In the construction of nuclear power plants using massive walls, the use of high-strength re-bars for shear design is necessary to enhance the constructability and economy. In this study, low-rise walls (aspect ratio of 1.0) with grade 550 MPa bars were tested under cyclic loading to investigate the shear capacity and deformation capacity. The test parameters were the grade of horizontal re-bars (550 MPa, 420 MPa), strength of concrete compressive strength (46 MPa, 70 MPa), horizontal/vertical reinforcement ratio, use of lateral confinement hoops, shape of cross section, and failure modes (shear failure before or after flexural yielding). The test results were compared with those of walls with grade 420 MPa bars and predicted strength by current design codes. The results showed that the shear strength of the walls with 550 MPa bars was comparable to that of the walls with 420 MPa bars though the safe margin slightly decreased. ACI 349 provides underestimated shear strength for the walls with 550 MPa bars. In case of the wall with flexural yielding, a large deformation capacity was achieved. This result indicates that the ACI 349 provisions can be safely applied to seismic design of the low-rise walls (aspect ratio of 1.0) with grade 550 MPa bars.

Recently, High-Strength steel reinforcement has been studied throughout the internal and external. One of the advantages using High-Strength steel reinforcement in construction is the economic effect due to the decreasing of its quantity. Also, another good effect is the increases of workability by reason of reducing the congestion. But, realistically it is not used in nuclear power plant construction site because of the restriction of design standard. The purpose of this report secures the reliability and changes the code through the performance evaluation test of the wall using the high-strength steel reinforcement in nuclear power plant.

현재 원전의 내진해석 절차에는 수직방향의 동적해석모델을 집중질량-보요소 모델로 나타내고 있으나, 층슬래브이 동적유연성을 합리적으로 고려할 수 있는 기준이 마련되어 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 벽체로 지지된 4변고정 슬래브를 유한요소모델 및 집중질량모델로 이상화한 후 고유치해석 및 시간이력해석을 수행한 결과, 현재 층슬래브의 수직응답을 얻기 위해 통상적으로 사용되는 일련의 단자유도계 모델은 이에 상응하는 유한요소모델의 각 모드에 대한 평균응답밖에 주지 못함을 확인하였고, 각 모드 층슬래브의 최대응답을 얻기 위해서는 각 고유진동수가 최소한 이자유도계로 모델링되어야 하며, 이때 이자유도계에 분배할 질량 및 연결보의 강성크기가 각각 1:5와 1:6일때 잘 일치함을 확인하였다. 또한 이렇게 결정된 모델링 방법은 실제 전단벽 구조물의 해석을 통해 그 적용성이 입증되었다.
