Abstract

This paper describes the results of analysis of seismic response of a reactor core mock-up, corresponding to tests performed on a shaking table. The experimental data from the shaking table tests consisted or recordings of two-dimensional acceleration time-histories and time histories of acceleration and/or displacement at the top of fuel elements for random excitation tests. Sets of data for one free standing single fuel element and for free standing groups of seven and nineteen fuel elements, and reflecting elements, in water were available.
