1 Seismic SSI Incoherency Effects for CANDU Reactor Building Structure Dan M. Ghiocel Ghiocel Predictive Technologies Inc., USA George Stoyanov, Sudip Adhikari Tarek Aziz AECL Ltd., Canada OECD NEA SSI Workshop Ottawa, Canada, October 6-8,

2 Presentation Purpose: Discuss key aspects of incoherent SSI analysis of the CANDU RB structure for two soil conditions, a stiff soil site with Vs=3,000 fps and a rock site with Vs=5,500 fps - Evaluate wave passage effects. - Compare SSI results of a RB Stick and a RB Shell model 2

Seismic Incoherent SSI Methodology The complex frequency response is computed as follows: Coherent SSI response: Complex Fourier transform c s s g g,0 of control motion Incoherent ground transfer function given coherent ground motion and coherency model (random spatial variation in horizontal plane) i c s s g g g,0 U ( ) H ( )*H ( )*U ( ) Incoherent SSI response: Structural transfer function given input at interaction nodes Coherent ground transfer function at interface nodes given control motion U ( ) H ( )*S ( )*H ( )*U ( ) S g( ) [ ( )][ ( )]{ } Spectral factorization of coherency kernel Complex Fourier transform of relative spatial variations of motion at interaction nodes that is stochastic by nature Random phases (stochastic part) 4

5 Deterministic Incoherent SSI Approaches Use simplified superposition rules for combining incoherency modes or their random effects: i) Linear superposition of motion incoherency modes at freefield or input level (AS in EPRI studies) single SSI analysis ii) Quadratic superposition of incoherency mode SSI response TF amplitude (SRSS in EPRI studies) multiple SSI analysis Four deterministic incoherent SSI approaches in ACS SASSI: 1)Linear/algebraic summation (AS) w/ phase adjustment (EPRI) 2)Linear/algebraic summation (AS) w/o phase adjustment * 3)SRSS of SSI Response TF Amplitude w/ zero-phase (EPRI) 4)SRSS of SSI Response TF Amplitude w/ non-zero phase * * Note: Not considered in EPRI studies (EPRI TR# ) 5

24 3. Conclusions 1)The incoherency effects are significant for the two case studies, the stiff soil site case and the rock site case. 2)The effects of wave passage appear to be insignificant for the two cases studies. 3)The effect of structural modeling the CS by shell elements rather than by a simple stick changes quite visibly the ISRS at the top of IS, especially in Z- direction. 4)The CS-IS dynamic coupling is affected by the structural modeling of the CS, although the IS stick is the same in both models. The CS-IS dynamic coupling effects appear to be larger for the Shell model, and for incoherent motions. 24
