Description
The BERSAFE finite element system has been used to examine the structural integrity of graphite core bricks. Internally produced stresses due to irradiation shrinkage and creep have been examined using a special graphite version of the program. The effect of different corrosion profiles on the load bearing capacity of a brick has also been examined. The existing approximate rule for determining brick strength using the concept of an effective weightloss has been evaluated. (author)
