Identification of Thermo-Mechanical Parameters of Concrete Samples from Nuclear Plant

Abstract:

The civil structures of nuclear plants need to meet the most strict criteria in terms of safety and reliability not only during their design and construction, but during the duration of their life cycle. In addition, during the life-cycle of nuclear plant higher safety demands than the ones at the time of plant design may appear and the plant needs to prove meeting of such requirements. Validation of thermo-mechanical properties was required for the concrete structure of the containment building of Bohunice NPP in Slovakia. Identification of thermo-mechanical parameters of the material used in the containment structure was necessary to perform said analysis and detailed investigation on the concrete composition was performed. This paper describes the information that can be obtained using state-of-the art analytical methods – X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and thermic analysis (TG/DTA).
