Description

Advances in high performance computing allow for large scale, high fidelity modeling of fault, path and soil structure interaction effects for Nuclear Power Plants (NPP). In this paper, we present a methodology to develop seismic motions that will propagate from the fault, through rock and eventually through soil to the NPP soil structure system, using wavelet fault motions. Focus is on understanding wave propagation through (known) geology and influence of body and surface waves on NPP Earthquake Soil Structure Interaction (ESSI) systems. (author)
