Abstract | This paper describes the results of static loading tests using a half-scale thick rubber bearing to investigate ultimate properties application for a Sodium-cooled-Fast-Reactor (SFR). The thick rubber bearing, which has a rubber layer roughly three times thicker in comparison with conventional rubber bearings, has been developed by the authors to ensure seismic safety margins for components installed in the reactor building, and to reduce seismic response in the vertical direction as well as horizontal direction. The thick rubber bearings, 1600 mm in diameter at full scale, have been designed to provide a rated load of about 10000 kN with a horizontal natural period of 3.4 s and a vertical natural period of about 0.133 s. The fundamental restoring-force characteristics of the thick rubber bearings has been already cleared through the static loading tests using a half-scale thick rubber bearing, 800 mm in diameter. However, variations of the restoring force characteristics and ultimate properties have not been obtained yet. These validations are essential from the point of view of Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) for a base isolated nuclear plant as well as to verify the structural integrity of the thick rubber bearing. The purpose of this paper is to indicate the variation of the stiffness and damping ratio concerning restoring force characteristics and the breaking strain or stress as ultimate properties through static loading tests using the half-scale thick rubber bearings. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
