Nonlinear response of a post-tensioned concrete structure to static and dynamic internal-pressure loads
Description
A nonlinear finite element model of a nuclear power plant containment building was developed to determine its ultimate pressure capability under quasistatic and impulsive dynamic loads. The ADINA finite element computer code was used to develop the model because of its capability to handle concrete cracking and crushing. Results indicate that, even though excessive concrete cracking occurs, failure is ultimately caused by rupture of post-tensioning tendons
