The conditional core damage probability (CCDP) of a representative nuclear power plant is
estimated for a beyond design basis earthquake (BDBE) using state-of-the-art structural …

This paper presents the development, implementation and application of an integrated
simulation method for non‐linear soil‐structure interaction (SSI) analysis of nuclear …

The history of probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) in the nuclear industry goes back to the
1960s. Traditional PRA procedures use the fixed event tree/fault tree approach and only …

Dense sands subjected to earthquake shaking may not liquefy but experience differential
settlements that can cause damage or limit the serviceability of overlying structures and …

The role of soil-structure interaction (SSI) on the risk of unacceptable performance of five
non-structural components of a nuclear reactor is investigated through a representative case …

The strain-dependent nonlinear properties of ground materials, such as shear modulus
degradation (G/Gmax) and damping, are of significant importance in seismic-related …
