Seismic Analysis of a Water Release Integrated Structure Part I: Response Spectrum Analysis of Intake Tower

Article Preview

Abstract:

The stress, deformation and stability for the intake tower of a water release integrated structure under the normal storage water level and operational basis earthquake load case are investigated using the three dimensional finite element method. The response spectrum analysis is adopted to study the seismic response of the intake tower. Special attention is paid to the weak zones of the structure and foundation. The safety evaluation of the intake tower is performed based on the computational results.
