Seismic Response for a One-third Scale-Down Vertical Cylindrical Cask Specimen using Cyclic Loading Testing Wei-Ting Lin1,2,a, Tseng-Chih Fu1,b, Yuan-Chieh Wu1,c and Chin-Cheng Huang1,d 1Institute of Nuclear Energy Research, Atomic Energy Council, Executive Yuan, Taoyuan 325, Taiwan 2Department of Civil Engineering, National Ilan University, Ilan 260, Taiwan awtlin@niu.edu.tw, bsandyfu@iner.gov.tw, cycwu@iner.gov.tw, dcchuang@iner.gov.tw Keywords: Cyclic Loading Test, Friction Coefficient, High Capacity Dry Storage System.
Unlike other civil engineering structures anchored to the foundations or soil, the dry storage casks are usually freestanding on a concrete pad.
Thus, the influence of normal stress on the friction coefficient was significant differed from other engineering cases.

At present, although China has taken advantage of the larger diameter of iron ore to batch commodity concrete , pave the way, replace clay and iron ore and produce cement clinker, etc, such as Shougang 2 million tons production line relocation project decided to adopt with the tailings sand concrete developed by the Beijing institute of civil engineering and construction and Shougang mining company,but the comprehensive utilization of tailings waste is only about 7%, regardless of the scale, the use value and economic benefits are far from being fully realized.
