APPENDIX 3A SEISMIC SOIL-STRUCTURE INTERACTION ANALYSIS OF THE NUCLEAR ISLAND 3A.1 INTRODUCTION 3A.l.1 General This appendix describes the generic site. conditions adopted for seismic design bases of the Nuclear Island.

The rationale for determining the selected generic site conditions is detailed.

The selected generic site data were used to evaluate the dynamic interaction effects between the final plant structures of the Nuclear Island and the underlying soil for a 0.15g operating basis earthquake (OBE) and a 0.3g safa shutdown earthquake (SSE) excita-tion.

Ti.c finite-element method was used to perform the soil-structure interaction analysis and is described in detail in this appendix.

The results of the soil-structure interaction analysis are given in the form of response spectra at the center of the top of the basemat.

These were the bases for the detailed structural response evaluation described in Section 3.7.

The generic site data and methods described in this appendix are consistent with those previously approved by US NRC but modi-fied to incorporate up-to-date data on nuclear plant sites and State-of-the art techniques to perform the soil-structure inter-action analysis.

Hence, this study provides a form of verification of the committed seismic design.3 3A.l.2 Seismic Analysis To ensure the seismic adequacy of all building structures and

GESSAR II 22A7007 238 NUCLEAR ISLAND Rev. 0 3A.l.2 Seismic Analysis (Continued) analysis was performed.

This analysis for qualification of the Nuclear Island was performed considering a range of site param-eters with variations to form the generic siting conditions.

The generic site conditions were selected to provide an adequate seismic design margin for any Nuclear Island facility with site parameters within the range of this study and for tnese facilities.

Further site-unique seismic analysis or review by the regulatory agencies should not be required.

Detailed descriptions of the site parameter s celected and the procedures used to perform seismic soil-structure interaction analysis of the Nuclear Island are provided herein.

The generic 1

site parameters and their ranges have been slightly modified to incorporate up-to-date data on nuclear plant sites as described in Section 3A.2.

The analytical procedures are generally con-sistent with those described in Reference 2 and are given in more detail in Section 3.7 of Reference 3.

Seismic qualification of any Nuclear Island can be done using the results presented in this appendix provided that:

(1) the peak ground acceleration is less than or equal to 0.3g SSE, 0.15g OBE; (2) the site design response spectra are less than or equal to those given in Regulatory Guide 1.60 normalized to the peak ground accelerations in (1);

(3) there is no potential for liquefaction at the plant site due to OBE and SSE as reviewed and concurred with by the Site Analysis Branch of the NRC staff; O

The study described in Appendix 3A of Reference 3 showed that 1

variation of the water level, material density, material composi-tion, or soil profile did not affect overall results; therefore, no special restrictions were provided for these parameters in the present study.

To demonstrate the seismic adequacy of the Nuclear Island design for these stated site conditions, 12 soil-structure interaction cases for the Reactor Building.nd 12 cases (3 soil types and 4 cross sections) for other Nuclear Island buildings were analyzed using the finite-element method.

This appendix details the basis for selecting the cases and the method of the seismic soil-f structure interaction analyses.

A description of the modal equivalence concept used to model some of the structures is given in Reference 3.

The modal equivalent model of the Reactor Building structure, the Fuel and Auxiliary Building models, and the soil model were combined to determine the dynamic response of the individual basemats of these buildings.

The translational and rotational time histories of acceleration response of the basemat were then used to determine the structural response of buildings, the reactor, and its inter-nals.

The method for determining the structural response is provided in detail in Section 3.7.

3A.2 SELECTION OF SITE PARAMETERS AND THEIR RANGES 3A.2.1 Introduction This section describes the generic site conditions and final design parameters based on a range of soil properties used in the soil-structure interaction (SSI) analysis described in this appendix.

The basic items required for soil-structure interaction study are:

(1)

Structural Model; (2)

Embedment Depth; (3)

Input Motion; (4)

Soil Profile; and (5)

Soil Properties.

For the present studies, the structural models, the embedment r"N depth, and the input motion were the same for all cases.

The structural models were based on the final Nuclear Island design.

m-The embedment depth was 39 feet and the input motion was an arti-ficial accelerogram that was a reasonable fit to the spectrum in 4

Regulatory Guide 1.60 with 0.15g zero-period acceleration for OBE.

The input motion was applied in the free field at grade.

The soil profile and properties were varied to cover a range of expected site conditions in relatively high seismic areas where a nuclear power plant may be constructed.

3A.2.2 Site Conditions The range of site conditions are most conveniently described in terms of:

(1) total thickness of the soil profile, (2) general layering, and (3) dynamic material properties -(modulus, damping, and Poisson's ratio).

u 3A.2-1 L

GESSAR II 22A7007 238 NUCLEAR ISLAND Rev. 0 3A.2.2 Site Conditions (Continued)

The response of a soil deposit is essentially a function of the profile depth and the dynamic material properties of the fourda-tion materials.

Appropriate ranges of dynamic material properties and profile depths previously agreed upon have been used for the bSI analyses.

The ranges of properties and profile depths were defined utilizing information on site conditions at actual nuclear plants and the results of the previous studies.3 For cases involving horizontal componenr3 of excitation, the dynamic material properties having the greatest effect on response are shear modulus and damping ratio.

Both of these material properties are strain dependent.

For cases involving vertical components of excitation, the constrained modulus is the most significant parameter.

Other properties required for response computations are total unit weight and Poisson's ratio.

The maximum shear modulus of the foundation material denotes the

-4 shear modulus at very low shear strains (approximately 10 percent).

The maximum shear modulus may be defined by the shear wave velocity, v measured at low energy levels.

The variations s,

of shear wave velocity with depth for a few nuclear plant sites are presented in Figure 3A-1 through 3A-3.

It can be seen from these figures that a wide range of the site shear wave velocity profile is possible.

The shear wave velocity profiles presented in these figures may be grouped into three generalized velocity profile zones:

a soil zone (sands, silts, clays and gravelly soils), a soft rock and well cemented soil zone, and a transiPion zone.

These velocity profile zones are shown in Figure 3A-4.

For sites with insitu shear wave velocities above 3500 ft/s 1

(represented by the cross-hatched area in Figure 3A-4), SSI l

analyses are not presently required by NRC (fixed-base analysis p

mitted).

Thus, the shaded region in Figure 3A-4 represents O

3A.2-2

GESSAR II 22A7007 238 NUCLEAR ISLAND Rev. 0 3A.2.2 Site Conditions (Continued)

G the range of shear wave velocities for which soil-structure interaction analyses can be made.

This range of shear wave velocities shown in Figure 3A-4 was used to define six basic shear wave velocity profiles.

These velocity profiles are designated VP through VP as shown in Figure 3A-5.

Velocity profiles VP y

6 and VP bound the soil zone; VP and W bound the transition 3

zone, and VP and VP un r ckwell cemented so us zone.

The velocity profiles are smooth curves representative of the average variation of shear modulus with depth that can be expected within each of the site zones.

It is recognized that specific sites may have a velocity profile much more irregular than those shown in Figure 3A-5.

However, for purposes of the generic all-soil envelope analysis, more uniform velocity profiles best serve the purpose of evaluating the effects of parametric variations.

In addition to these six curves, three basic velocity profiles A

from Reference 3 corresponding to the lower bound (LB), average (AV), and upper bound (UB) soil properties were also included in this study (Figure 3A-5).

The shear wave velocity profiles for LB, AV, and UB soil profiles obtained from Reference 3 are based on the following Reference 3 expressions:

GESSAR II 22A7007 238 NUCLEAR ISLAND Rev. 0 3A.2.2 Site Conditions (Continued)

The Gmax(y) expression results in a smooth, continuous curve with v

qu 1 to zero at zero depth ( m(y) = 0 at y = 0).

However, in s

the finite-element discretization, the G value (and hence v )

max s

is computed at the mid-height of each element and assumed to be the same for the total depth of the element.

Hence, at the sur-face, the value of v will correspond to the value at the mid-s height of the first finite element soil layer.

This value is equal to 265 fps for the LB case, 375 fps for the AV case, and 460 fps for the UB case with the thickness of the first element soil equal to 2.5 feet.

For the first 30-ft depth of the soil layer, the average value of v is equal to 490 fps for the LB case, 690 s

fps for the AV case and 850 fps for the UB case.

These values are consistent with Reference 3 requirements to provide an aver-age value of v about 500 fps in the top 30 feet of soil layer.

Based

This curve was selected as a reasonably conservative assessment of the damping character-(~')

O Reasonable variations of total unit weight and Poisson's ratio have relatively small effects on the computed response of the foundation profiles and are taken into account by variations in the shear moduli.

Therefore, for purposes of this generic study, a constant average value of total unit weight and Poisson's ratio were assigned to all soil profiles as follows.

The previous studies showed that, in general, the shallower soil profiles produced higher structural response.

Furthermore, SSI effects have been found to be diminishing at depths greater than approximately 200 to 250 feet.

Therefore, cases with a profile depth greater than 150 feet were not con-sidered in this study.

Consideration of a total thickness signi-ficantly less than 75 feet would result in the reactor foundation i

being slightly above or supported directly on rock.

The develop-j ment of design parameters in this case would be most conveniently done by analyzing the structure on a rigid base.

The water level for each soil profile was assumed at a depth of i

40 feet.

The effect of variations in the water level on response (assuming no soil failure) was accounted for by a variation in the modulus values.

3A.2-6

GESSAR II 22A7007 238 NUCLEAR ISLAND Rev. 0 3A.2.3 Cases Studied s

3A.2.3.1 Reactor Building A total number of 12 cases were studied; the cases are summarized in Table 3A-1 and are also shown in Figure 3A-5.

Cases 1 through 6 were the shallow (75 feet) soil cases with horizontal earthquake (H2) ppli d to the zero degree building cross-section (Figure 3A-7).

Case 7 was the fixed base case corresponding to a hard rock site with H applied in the zero degree direction 2

(Figure 3A-7).

Case 8 was the shallow soil case (75 feet) with horizontal earthquake (H ) applied to the 90-degree building y

cross-section (Figure 3A-7).

Case 9 was the moderately deep (150 feet) soil case with H applied to the zero-degree building 2

cross section.

Cases 8 and 9 were the same as thoue selected for 3

the 90-degree direction and 150 feet soil case.

Case 10 was the fixed base flooded containment case with H applied in the zero-2 degree direction.

Case 11 was the case with the vertical com-

-s A,/

ponent of earthquake (V) applied to the shallow soil site Case m

12 was the fixed-base case corresponding to a hard-rock site with (V) applied.

Seven of these twelve cases were the same as in Reference 3 which contained twenty cases.

This selection was based on the review of results in Reference 3 which showed that (1) shallow soil layer cases (75 feet) in general controlled the maximum responses, (2) upper bound soil profile cases generally controlled the maxi-mum responses and (3) the lower and average bound profiles con-trolled a few of the responses.

Further, additional cases ith soil profiles VP3 and VP5 (not considered in Reference 3) were included in this evaluation so that SSI cases in the gap between UB and HR profiles (see Figure 3A-5) can be considered and thus cover a wide spectrum of soil properties for the SSI analysis, m

3A.2-7

GESSAR II 22R7007 238 NUCLEAR ISLAND Rev. 0 3A.2.3.1 Reactor Building (Continued)

These generic cases coupled with the SSI analyses cases (Reference

3) cover a broad spectrum of sites and, therefore, are representa-tive for evaluating the seismic adequacy of the Nuclear Island.

3A.2.3.2 Other Nuclear Island Buildings The other Nuclear Island buildings include the Fuel Building, Auxiliary Building, Control Building, Diesel Generator Buildings, and Radwaste Building.

The plan view of the typical building arrangement is shown in Figure 3A-8.

To establish the Nuclear Island all-soil envelope design, a suffi-cient number of analysis cases were studied to examine primary fac-tors which have significant effects on dynamic response of the buildings.

These factors include soil shear, wave velocity pro-file, depth of the soil, and structure-to-structure interaction.

Soil cases were selected based on these factors in addition to an evaluation of the results of the Reactor / Fuel / Auxiliary Buildings analyses and the Nuclear Island Buildings dynamic characteristics.

Considerations of these factors in the selection of analysis cases are described as follows.

One of the important factors affecting seismic response of a soil-structure system is the soil shear wave velocity profile.

Ranges of the site conditions are presented in Figure 3A-5.

The results of Reactor / Fuel / Auxiliary Buildings analyses (0 direction) indi-cated that stiffer soil-profile cases resule in higher responses for the Auxiliary and Fuel Buildings in the frequency range of importance.

In addition, it was observed that the natural fre-quencies of all these buildings did not deviate far apart.

Thus, the basic analysis cases with soil profiles VP3' 5

(Figure 3A-5), and fixed base were selected for all the other Nuclear Island buildings.

3A.2-8

\\

1 V

For the selection of the soil depth, the results of Reactor / Fuel /

Auxiliary Buildings analyses showed that shallower soil-profile cases result in higher responses in the frequency range of importance.

Thus, the basic soil cases for all Nuclear Island buildings were based on 75-feet profiles.

In order to properly account for structure-to-structure inter-action, besides the 0*-directional cross-section of Reactor / Fuel /

Auxiliary Buildings, a total of six additional soil-structure cross sections were identified (Sections A-A through F-F, Figure 3A-8).

Of these, sections 0*,

A-A, C-C, and E-E were selected as basic sections for BOP building analyses.

Furthermore, based on the result from Reactor Building vertical carthquake analysis, the fixed-base case which dominated the responses was selected as the basic analysis case for Nuclear

Island buildings subject to the vertical component of earthquakes.

(

N_/

3A.3.1 Input Motion The time-history method was used in performing the seismic analysis of the foundation / structures / reactor complex by using the finite-element method.

Earthquake motion in the form of acceleration time histories for all three components was used.

Since the input carthquake motion specified in Regulatory Guide 1.60 is in the form of response spectra, artificial earthquake acceleration time histories must be created based on the given spectra.

Numerous schemes have been proposed for synthesizing an earthquake 7-12 time history from a given spectrum However, the method pro-posed by Vanmarcke and Cornell, was adopted here due to its intrinsic capability of imposing statistical independence among

/"'S the synthesized time-history acceleration components.

This is i

e

\\/ consistent with that given in Reference 3.

Three earthquake acceleration time-history components were created by using this method and identified as H H

and V.

These are y,

2, the same time histories used in Reference 3.

H and H were the 1

2 two horizontal components mutually perpendicular to each other and were based on the US NRC horizontal ground spectra in Figure 3.7-1.

H and H re shown in Figures 3A-9 and 3A-10, respectively.

V y

2 was the vertical earthquake time-history component and was based on the vertical ground spectra in Figure 3.7-2.

It is shown in Figure 3A-ll.

Figures 3.7-1 and 3.7-2 are for maximum ground accelerations of 0.3g in the horizontal direction for the SSE condition.

Two conditions are to be met for the synthesized acceleration time histories.

First, the response spectra generated from the time fg history must be a reasonable fit to the appropriate response t

i qj 3A.3-1

GESSAR II 22A7007 238 NUCLEAR ISLAND Rev. 0 3A.3.1 Input Motion (Continued) spectra.

Secondly, the three components shall be sufficiently statistically independent.

In order to verify the first condition, response spectra with damping values of 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 7%, and 10% for all three com-ponents of the earthquake time history were generated.

These response spectra, shown in Figures 3.7-4 through 3.7-21, are compared with the required spectra in Regulatory Guide 1.60.

The peak acceleration of the time histories of these comparison curves was normalized to a horizontal acceleration of 0.15g OBE.

The closeness of the two spectra in all cases indicates that the synthesized earthquake time histories are acceptable.

To check the statistical independence of the three earthquake 13 components, the coherence function was used.

The coherence functions for the three earthquake acceleration and V were generated.

The coher-time-history components Hy,H2, l

I ence function for H and H2, Hy 2

and V, and H and V are given in y

Figures 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3, respectively, in Appendix 3A of Refer-ence 3.

All values within the frequency range of interest between 0 and 50 Hz were calculated at a frequency increment of 0.1 Hz.

The small values of these coherence functions indi: ate that the three components are sufficiently statistically independent.

Figures 3A-12 through 3A-14 show the response spectra for the three earthquake time-history components at 2% damping for 0.15 OBE and the associated NRC Regulatory Guide 1.60 spectra.

3A.3.2 Damping The damping values for each component in the Reactor Vessel Building structure system used in this appendix are in accordance with those specified in Regulatory Guide 1.61.

These values for both the OBE and the SSE conditions are summarized in Table 3.7-1.

3A.4.1 Structural Modelling Theory The Nuclear Island and the Turbine Building structures must be included in the analysis of the Nuclear Island.

Each structure must be adequately represented so that its response and the effect

~

of its presence on the response of other structures are realis-tically predicted.

Structural responses in turn provide the bases for determining the seismic loads of all the Seismic Category I components of the Nuclear Island.

To find the response of each component of any given structure, however, requires a detailed, and, therefore, extensive, seismic model of the structure.

The combination of the detailed soil and structural models would create a total model which size would be very large from both the analysis cost and computer g=pability points of view.

However, any simplification of the overall model must contain an adequate structural representation of each important structure to provide

, -~g

(_,)

accurate dynamic behavior due to interaction effects.

The Reactor Building, Fuel Building, Turbine Building, and Auxiliary Building are on separate and rigid basemats.

In addi-tion, there are no structural ties between buildings.

Thus, each basemat became the only interface between a structure and the rest of the Nuclear Island.

There is no need to place a complex model on the basemat if a simplified model will make the basemat respond in the same manner.

The motions of the basemat may then be used as the forcing functions for the more detailed model in a separate analysis.

The Fuel and Auxiliary Building models were It simple enough so that a simplified model was not necessary.

was only necessary to reduce the three-dimensional model to a two-dimensional model.

The Reactor Building, however, was much more complex, particularly in the modelling of the reactor and inter-nals with interconnecting systems and hydrodynamic mass considera-tions.

GESSAR II 22A7007 238 flUCLEAR ISLAND Rev. 0 3A.4.1 Structural Modelling Theory (Continued) model which is a series of single-degree-of-freedom systems which represent the principal modes of the structure.

Similarly, the Turbine Building was also replaced by a modal-equivalent model.

Derivation and verification of the modal-equivalent model are presented in Reference 3.

The dynamic structural models were then represented as a series of finite elements to be compatible with the finite-element soil model (Section 3A.5).

The resultant equivalent finite-element structural model was again verified to ensure that it has essen-tially the same fixed-base characteristics (frequency, d amping,

modal participation factors) as the original complex structural model with a fixed base.

3A.4.2 Finite-Element Model 3A.4.2.1 Reactor Building flodel Two-dimensional plane-strain analyses were conducted in this study.

All cases analyzed except Case 8 Table 3A-1) are in the 0 direc-tion (Figure 3A-7).

The mass and stiffness properties of the Reactor, Fuel, and Auxiliary Buildings were averaged over the 170-feet width of the buildings and that of Turbine Building over 158 feet.

Plane-strain finite-elemrnt models were obtained by using a unit thickness of the building models.

For the case in the 90 direction, only the shaded area of the Fuel and Auxiliary Buildings (Figure 3A-7) was considered effective in the structure-to-structure interaction.

The mass of the shaded area was averaged over a length of 138 feet for the Reactor Building atd a length of 69 feet for the Auxiliary and Fuel Buildings.

The st iffness of the Fuel and Auxiliary Buildings were determined so tnat their fundamental natural frequency was maintained.

For the Reactor Building, all modes up to 35 Hz were included.

The 3D effects 3A.4-2

J of the soil was simulated by adding a viscous boundary to the out-of-plane direction.

In addition, transmitting boundaries were provided on the two lateral sides of the soil layers to absorb any wave effects emanating from the structure.

The soil backfill is modeled using finite elements with common boundaries for the backfill elements and structural elements.

This is consistent with the degree of sophistication available in FLUSH because it is not feasible currently to model potential separation between the backfill soil and the structure.

The final equivalent plane-j strain models for the Reactor, Auxiliary, and Fuel Buildings in the two directions are shown in Figures 3A-15 and 3A-16.

The dynamic 1

response of the soil-structure system was evaluated from the analyses of these plane-strain models.

The Reactor Building was represented by its first 20 fixed-base nornal modes and the Turbine Building by its first 5 fixed-base s_)

normal modes.

For each normal mode, an equivalent planc-strain finite element was compute 3 so that the finite-element model has the same inertial properties, fundamental natural frequency, and modal height as the modal model.

The matching of the natural frequencies can be easily achieved by scaling up or down the clastic modulus of the finite element since the natural frequen-cies of a finite element are directly proportional to the square root of its clastic modulus.

4 Due to the relative simplicity of the Fuel and Auxiliary Buildings, the buildings were directly reduced to planc-strain finite-element models with the same overall dimensions and mass distribution.

The clastic modulus of the finite element was scaled so that its fundamental natural frequency matches that of the original building model.

Figure 3A-17 presents a typical model for section A-A which includes Auxiliary, Control, and Diesel Genera-tor Buildings.

All the modeling techniques used were the same as described for the Reactor Building analysis except that stick models were used in place of modal equivalent models for the buildings.

Stiff beams were used between the building stick and its foundation in order to properly transmit the responses from the basemat to the superstructures.

3A.5 SOIL-STRUCTURE INTERACTION ANALYSIS V) 3A.5.1 Introduction Nuclear Island structures are massive structures typically embedded at a considerable depth in a soil deposit.

An important aspect in the seismic design of these structures is the evaluation of the dynamic interaction between the structure and the soil.

Such interaction effects may significantly affect the response of the structures as well as the equipment systems.

The problem of soil-structure interaction has been the subject of considerable research in recent years and a number of interaction models have been developed and are in use in the industry.

Basi-cally, however, there are two general approaches available at present to estimate dynamic soil-structure interaction effects.14

(~'%

(1)

A direct approach (tocal solution) where the system

'\\ ')

(soil and one or more structures) is modeled and analyzed either in the time domain or in the frequency domain with a mathematical model of the soil and the structures most commonly based on finite elements.

Finite difference schemes may also be used to model the soil, although this procedure is less frequently used in practice.

(2)

A three-step solution is used where:

(a) the motion that would occur at the level of the foundation is first determined; (b) the frequency-dependent compliances or stiffnesses of the foundation (or foundations if there are several adjacent buildings) are computed; and bo 3A.5-1 t

GESSAR II 22A7007 238 NUCLEAR ISLAND Rev. 0 3A.5.1 Introduction (Continued)

(c) a dynamic analysis of the structure is performed (either in the time domain or in the frequency domain) with the stiffness functions computed in (b) reproducing the soil and the motion derived in (a) as input.

Each method has its own advantages and limitations from a practical standpoint, and significantly different results can be obtained from the two modeling techniques depending on the properties assigned to the elements of the model, the assumptions, and the solution algorithms used.

A thorough comparative study of the l5 merits of the two modeling techniques was made by Seed with regard to the evaluation of the soil-structure interaction effects for embedded structures.

In this study, the authors concluded that:

O "The finite element method, properly performed with due regard to the extent and fineness of the mesh and varia-tions of damping characteristics, can provide a good evaluation of the response of embedded structures and is the best tool currently available for this purpose."

In this appendix, evaluation of the dynamic interaction between the plant structures and the surrounding and unJ'rlying soil was made by modeling the soil-structure system by finite elements.

This is consistent with the method used in Reference 3.

The general method of app;oach is shown in Figure 3A-18 and involves the following main steps:

(1) because the control motion is typically specified at some point in the free field; as a first step, a deconvolution analysis is necessary to determine the compatible 3A.5-2

GESSAR II 22A7007 238 NUCLEAR ISLAND Rev. 0 3A.S.1 Introduction (Continued)

(N;

/

base-rock motions (motions which would have to develop in an underlying rock-like formation to produce the specified motions at the control point); and (2) the same base-rock motion is then used as excitation for a two-dimensional analysis (plane strain) of the soil-structure system leading to an evaluation of the motions at any selected points such as the base of the struc-ture, the operating floor of the structure, etc (accuracy of the results can be checked by inspecting the degree of agreement between the computer motions at the control point with the specified values).

In the studies reported herein, computations were made using the recently developed program which permit the use of variable modu-(^N lus and variable damping in the soil.

The deconvolution analyses I

\\

required in step (1) and the two-dimensional analyses in step (2) were carried out using the finite-element computer program FLUSH.

The nonlinear soil properties were accounted for in this program by a combination of the equivalent linear method described in Reference 17 and the method of complex response with complex moduli.18 The latter method makes it possible to use different damping properties for each element of the finite element model.

In addition, FLUSH has the capability to simulate 3D effects by adding a viscous boundary to the out-of-plane direction.

It can also provide a transmitting boundary near the structural interface to absorb any wave effects emanating from the structure and thus 4

simulate the effects of an extensive soil deposit.

The high frequency ranges, which must be considered in the study of soil-structure interaction for nuclear power plants, were also adequately accounted for in this method.

GESSAR II 22A7007 238 NUCLEAR ISLAND Rev. 0 3A.5.2 Analysis Procedure The dynamic interaction between the plant structures and the surrounding and underlying soil was evaluated by modeling the soil-structure system by finite elements.

The steps involved using the finite-element method are as follows.

(1)

Perform a deconvolution analysis to determine compatible base rock motions.

This is the motion which would have to be developed in an underlying bedrock to produce the specified control motion at the finished grade in the free field.

This is essentially a one-dimensional analysis using the principle of propagation of shear waves in the vertical direction.

The vertical height of soil elements was chosen so that it is small compared to the wave length of shear waves propagating through the soil.

The vertical element size was chosen as Vs hs3-A

= jk (3A-6) 5 s

5f max where A

is the wave length of the shortest wave s

V is the shear wave velocity in the element s

f is the highest frequency of interest.16 The computations required in this step were performed using the computer program FLUSH.

3A.S.2 Analysis Procedure (Continued)

'N j For vertical components of earthquakes, it was assumed that the propagating seismic waves were P-waves.

However, if the shear modulus C is replaced by an equivalent modulus G* as G* = 2 (1 - p)

G 1 - 2p (3A-7) where p is the Poisson's ratio, the solution for the shear wave propagation will be identical to that for the P-wave propagation.

In reality, the vertical and horizontal components of earthquakes must be considered to act simultaneously.

Hence, neglecting, the effect of the P-wave on the shear wave propac, tion, G* was calculated using the final G from the solution for

,]

horizontal earthquake component.

The vertical com-

'\\ j ponents of base rock motion was then generated through the deconvolution analysis using G* without iterations.

(2)

Develop a full finite element mesh to represent the structures and the soil surrounding and underlying the structures and evaluate the response of this soil-structure system to the bedrock motion developed in step (1).

This analysis was performed using FLUSH.

In this analysis, three-dimensional effects were approximated by using an energy-absorbing viscous boundary, and lateral extent of the two-dimensional model was reduced by providing transmitting boundaries to absorb any wave effects emanating from the structure.

These options are built into FLUSH.

3A.5-5

GESSAR II 22A7007 238 NUCLEAR ISLAND Rev. 0 3A.S.2 Analysis Procedure (Continued)

The structures included in the analysis are the Reactor Building, Fuel Building, Auxiliary Building, and the Turbine Building.

These buildings are supported on independent basemats with no connection between buildings and hence each basemat is the only interface between each structure and the rest of the system.

The struc-tures were idealized as two-dimensional plane-strain structures using finite elements.

Each of the structures was idealized using the modal equivalent approach to determine their modal masses, damping, and equivalent shear modulus values.

In addition, equivalent modal heights were also calculated for the Reactor Buildings.

Modes with frequencies up to 35 Hz for the horizontal and vertical analyses for the Reactor Building and 45 Hz for the horizontal model of the Turbine Building were included to determine the modal models.

The modal G values for the Fuel and Auxiliary Buildings were based on their first mode and their moaal masses and heights were maintained to equal the actual building models.

For the 90-degree case, only the shaded area of the Fuel and Auxiliary Buildings (Figure 3A-7) was consid-cred effective in the soil-structure interaction.

Typical finite-element models used in this study are shown in Figures 3A-19, 3A-20, and 3A-21.

The embedment depth (bottom of foundation mat) was maintained at 39 feet for the Reactor Building, 29 feet for the Fuel Building, 35 feet for the Auxiliary Building, and 23 feet for the Turbine Building.

3A.S.2 Analysis Procedure (Continued)

N,._.J The soil profile and properties for the soil layers for all the cases were the same as in Section 3A.2.

The other properties used in the analysis are:

unit weight of concrete (150 pcf), Poisson's Ratio for concrete (0.20), and damping ratio for concrete (0.04 for OBE and 0.07 for SSE).

Minor variations in these properties will not affect the analysis results.

An important decision was the choice of the maximum frequency to be included in the analyses.

The execution time (using FLUSH) is proportional to the highest fre-quency considered during the iteration; furthermore, smaller elements are required for high frequency analy-ses.

Therefore, it is very important not to consider frequencies higher than absolutely necessary.

Typically

/N maximum frequency values of 20 to 25 Hz are used in the soil-structure analyses involving nuclear power plants.

It is, however, generally believed that most interaction effects between the structure and the underlying soil would involve frequencies well below 20 Hz.

In select-ing the value of maximum frequency, structural design considerations and the maximum frequency that can be transmitted through a soil layer for a given accelera-tion level must also be taken into account.

Based on these considerations, for the horizontal cases, responses up to a frequency of 20 Hz for softer soil properties and 33 Hz for the stiffer soil properties and for the vertical case were included in the analysis.

In this study, the control motion was applied in the free field at grade and deconvoluted to the bottom of the soil layer.

This results in a gradual and reasonable

(~N gradient of maximum accelerations along the depth of the 3A.5-7

GESSAR II 22A7007 238 NUCLEAR ISLAND Rev. 0 3A.5.2 Analysis Procedure (Continued) g soil profile with maximum accelerations generally decreasing with depth in all the cases analyzed.

This is consistent with conclusions of similar analy-19,20,21 ses.

In addition, the vibratory motions calcu-lated in the free field at the elevation of the bottom of the Reactor Building basemat gave response spectra at all frequencies (0.2 to 50 Hz) not less than 60 per-cent of the design spectra (Figure 3A-22).

It can be noted from this figure that the envelope of the spec-trum for all the cases considered exceeds 60 percent of the NRC spectrum at all the frequencies.

The control motions used have a duration of 22 seconds with a time step of 0.005 second.

The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm used in FLUSH requires that the number of terms in the series be some power of 2.

Hence, sufficient trailing zeroes were added to the transient time histories so that the periodic nature of FFT did not induce errcrs in the response.

In the analyses, 8192 terms were used for the control motions with values between 22.0 seconds and 40.96 seconds set equal to zero.

Another important item to consider in saving execution time was interpolation on the transfer function in the frequency domain.

Results were used to establish the interpolation control number used in this study.

The strain-dependent soil material properties used in this appendix are shown in Figure 3A-6 and given in Tables 3A-2 and 3A-3.

The nonlinear behavior of soil was accounted for in the analysis by an equivalent 5

linear method using strain-dependent soil properties.

\\,i This approach is iterative and requires about three to five iterations to obtain strain-compatible solutions.

Within three to four iterations, the soil properties were found to converge to a strain-compatible solution.

Analysis to obtain vertical components of deconvoluted bedrock motion was carried out without iterations using the final soil properties from the analysis of the corresponding horizontal component case (e.g.,

GE-75-A-H2 for GE-75-A-V) for both free-field and finite-element analyses.

Response spectra plots and acceleration time-history responses at various node points on the basemat of the structures were generated from the finite-element

/N analysis.

In addition, response spectra were also

\\

'l generated in the free field at top and bottom of soil layers and at elevation of the Reactor Building basemat.

Response spectra for all the cases, generated at the center of top of basemat, are shown in Figures 3A-23 and 3A-24.

These response spectra plots were used to The compare the response with various other cases.

spectra in Figures 3A-23 and 3A-24 are well within the basemat envelope spectra.3 Both translational and rotational time histories of acceleration response generated at the top of basemat of structures were used to analyze a more detailed model of the structures to evaluate their response and generate response spectra at critical elevations for analysis of equipment.
