Abstract:There have been heated discussions on how to reduce the earthquake response of NPPs. Generally, isolation technology is one of the most efficient methods but researches on traditional isolated structure and 3D isolated structure for NPPs, to some extent, have deficiencies. Therefore, in this paper, a new structural system which included base isolation system and lateral damping supporters for NPPs (hereinafter referred to as DISO) in a cave or underground was proposed to obtain a positive seismic response, aim… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
