Risk Assessment Method and Protection Goals of High Concrete Gravity Dam Subjected to Far-Field Underwater Nuclear Explosion

Abstract:

The nucleus threat and hydraulic engineering's security problem are two focal point problems. At present, a new problem associated with the two problems has not systematically investigated and full understanding. This paper propose that the damage spectrum is used to predict the damage state of the concrete dam subject to far-field underwater nuclear explosion, and the environmental pollution factor is added in the risk assessment model. Finally, the protection design targets is mathematical described.
