Pipe Impact on Concrete Slabs
A series of pipe impact on concrete slab tests have been performed at the CEA's Cadarache Laboratory using the AQUITAINE II facility. The testing program was jointly sponsored...
Probabilistic Analysis of Impact Loading Conditions
Probabilistic methods are developed for the analysis of random impact loading conditions that arise from oblique, noncollinear, and spinning missile impacts. Models are developed for the...
Low Velocity Impact Tests on Reinforced Concrete Panels
The results of low velocity impact tests on reinforced concrete panels are presented. These tests were conducted to investigate the behavior of reinforced concrete flexural elements subjected...
Behavior of an Operating Floor Subjected to Heavy Load Drops
A structural evaluation of the behavior of a Boiling Water Reactor operating floor subjected to postulated heavy load impact is presented relative to the evaluation of nuclear industry...
Update on Impact Effects in Nuclear Plants Part II?Review of Pipe Whip Impact
Current regulations require that pipe breaks be postulated in high-energy lines and measures be taken to prevent consequent damage to essential structures and systems. The paper addressed...
