Abstract The floor response spectrum (FRS) of a nuclear power plant (NPP) structure considering nonlinear behavior of shear walls is numerically investigated. The Hysteretic Material from OpenSees program is applied to a lumped-mass model to consider the nonlinear hysteretic behavior of the element representing the shear wall. Parameters that determine the hysteretic behavior are changed to examine the effects of the parameters on the resulting FRS. The pinching effect, damage due to ductility and energy, and degraded unloading stiffness can be considered with changes in parameter values. The hysteretic behavior of the structure with different parameter values was analyzed. Elements in… More >
