Description

This report summarizes the results of experimental and numerical studies conducted to evaluate the effect of accident thermal loads on the seismic response of steel-plate composite (SC) walls and reinforced concrete (RC) walls and beams. The research was sponsored by U.S. Department of Energy through the Nuclear Energy University Program (NEUP), Award Number DE-NE0008256. Summary and conclusions of the research conducted are presented in this report. Based on the observations, analysis and design recommendations for SC and RC structures are also summarized
