Numerical simulation and investigation of the base isolated NPPC building under three-directional seismic loading

Reinforced concrete containment (RCC) is the most significant component of the nuclear power plant (NPP). Therefore, the safety and integrity must be ensured during the plant life in any conditions, in particular, in the event of a severe earthquake. Seismic or base isolation is a proven technology for reducing the effects of earthquake shaking on the building and avoiding failure of structure under earthquake. The aim of this paper is to...
