Evaluation of Impact with High Temperature Engineering Test Reactor Using Realistic Model of Stack and Reactor Building

Abstract

Integrity confirmation for buildings against collisions of projectiles has been conducted to evaluate their behavior upon collision between a projectile with a simple shape and a wall using empirical formulas. However, there is a possibility that structures with a complex shape such as a stack may collide with a reactor building. However, there have been few studies of collisions between structures with a complex shape and buildings. In this study, it is necessary to set the physical properties of reinforced concrete to carry out such an evaluation; however, the physical properties depend on the number of reinforcing bars. For this reason, the physical properties of reinforced concrete are set so as to fit conventional empirical formulas recommended. Impact evaluation was carried out using a reactor building and a stack with a realistic shape and physical properties.
