Yl. Mo et Ry. Yang, RESPONSE OF REINFORCED PRESTRESSED CONCRETE BOX STRUCTURES TO DYNAMICALLY APPLIED TORSION/, Nuclear Engineering and Design, 165(1-2), 1996, pp. 25-41
Inelastic dynamic response of reinforced/prestressed concrete box stru
ctures to torsion is investigated in this article. To perform this res
earch, three items need to be critically studied. (1) The primary curv
e (torque-twist curve), (2) the torsional hysteretic rules and (3) a d
ynamic model. The inelastic dynamic response analysis of both reinforc
ed and prestressed concrete box structures (such as: spent fuel pools,
storage tanks, containments and building cores, etc.) under torsion c
an be completed by the proposed method. The research findings in this
article can be applied to box structures in nuclear power plants.
