Abstract
The feasibility of a new structural system for nuclear power plant bui ldings utilizing concrete filled steel structures, termed 'SC structur al system' was studied. SC wall test specimens (1/5 scale) were manufa ctured and compressive loading tests were carried out to determine how to prevent buckling. Also, bending shear tests were performed using H -section wall specimens to determine the shear and bending characteris tics of SC walls. This paper presents an outline of the feasibility st udy, and the various structural properties resulting from the experime nts. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
