The application of three-dimensional (3D) base isolation for nuclear structures is
advantageous. In this study, an advanced 3D base isolation technique was developed and …

Accurately simulating the radiation damping of an infinite domain is a crucial issue for
reasonably and effectively evaluating the isolation effect of three-dimensional (3D) base …

Seismic isolation is an effective measure for mitigating earthquake hazard on important
structures such as bridges, hospitals, and nuclear power plants. Seismically isolated …

Seismic isolation of nuclear power plants is in its infancy, with only a small number of
applications worldwide. This outcome is due in part to the construction of only a small …

The combination of passive-base-isolated (PBI) and active structural control (ASC) has been
employed in many buildings globally to improve control performance. Controllers are mainly …

A base-supported partially-filled fluid–shell system representing the pressure vessel of a fast
reactor is studied. The shell is made of two cylindrical parts joined through a conical part …

Given the increase of nuclear power plants, it has become unavoidable for the pile-
supported nuclear-island buildings to be constructed on the coastal deposits potentially …

This paper focuses on the seismic damage analysis of the whole nuclear power plant (NPP)
of AP1000 type during strong seismic sequences. For that purpose, seven synthetic main …

Seismic safety is considered to be one of the key design objectives of AP1000 nuclear
power plant (NPP) in strong earthquakes. Dynamic behavior, damage development and …

The BIS-TMDI is a recently developed passive control strategy that can significantly reduce
the structural response when installed in nuclear reactor buildings. However, the excellent …
