Seismic Analysis of the Entrance Section of a Nuclear Power Intake Tunnel

Article Preview

Abstract:

For a nuclear power intake tunnel project, large-scale three-dimensional finite difference model is established by Flac3D to simulate the seismic response regularity of the entrance section of tunnel under the action of seismic waves schedule with the nonlinear dynamic analysis method. Through the input of the site seismic wave, the structure response characteristics of the tunnel entrance and slope are explored and duration curve of tunnel hole lining force under seismic waves action and tunnel lining figure can be obtained. The analysis results show that the anti-seismic weak parts of the tunnel entrance is at the location of tunnel spandrel and the sidewall. The analysis method and conclusions can be for reference in the seismic design of similar nuclear power intake tunnel project.
