Modeling of objects for reception and storage of spent nuclear fuel

Facilities for the storage of nuclear fuel are distinguished from other objects by high standards of safety in any operating conditions. A feature of these structures is the large thickness of the walls and floors. This feature should be taken into account in the calculations of seismic effects and thermal stresses caused by uneven temperature fields in concrete. In the work, calculations of joint effects on the building of thermal stresses and earthquakes are made. The calculations allowed us to distinguish the features of the deformation of concrete structures. (paper)
