Description

This research is focused on Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) concrete structures and addresses in general the destructive stresses to which they are subjected. An overall view was also taken into account when selecting constructions and their level of examination during NPP visitations. In addition to examining the NPP containment, some other structures were also included in the study, which were mainly sea structures. This report provides an overview of the main destructive forces on concrete containment structures. (orig.)
