Pipe fracture behavior under high-rate (seismic) loading - The IPIRG program

  • 1. Battelle, Columbus, OH (United States)

Description

Results are summarized from numerous experiments and supporting analyses conducted to investigate the behavior of circumferentially flawed piping and piping systems subjected to high-rate loading typical of seismic events. The investigation included both 'separate effects' experiments on simple pipe specimens with either pure inertial or displacement-controlled loading, and full-scale experiments on a representative piping system with combined loading tested at pressurized water reactor (PWR) conditions
