Earthquake design of nuclear power plants
Abstract
The earthquake risk to nuclear power plants and the problems involved in protecting nuclear power plants against earthquakes are discussed. Methods for calculating the maximum loadings for buildings, structures, and components are reviewed. They include the response spectrum modal analysis, the time history modal analysis, and the time history analysis.
