摘要: 为了确保核电站在延寿后安全可靠的运行,核电站的钢筋混凝土结构在长期辐照下的性能表现非常重要。建立了高温辐照混凝土力学性能退化的理论模型。通过GSC模型和Mori-Tanaka模型来描述混凝土的多相和多尺度内部结构及其力学和传输性能。使用复合损伤力学方法估算了辐照和高温对混凝土力学性能的影响。基于温度梯度和辐照引起的损伤,使用多组扩散方程计算了损伤混凝土的传输特性变化。最后,建立了辐照-热-力耦合机制作用下混凝土的长期性能表现的分析方法。建立的分析框架可以进一步与商用计算软件相结合,应用于核电站钢筋混凝土结构的服役性能动态评价中。Abstract: To ensure the safe and reliable operation of nuclear power plants (NPPs) during their extended service lives, the performance of reinforced concrete structures in NPPs under long-term irradiation is quite important. A comprehensive framework of models was developed to predict the various properties and deformation of nuclear-irradiated concrete. The GSC model and the Mori-Tanaka model were used to characterize the mechanical and transport properties of concrete with multiple phases and multi-scale internal structures. The damage to the concrete’s mechanical properties resulting from irradiation and elevated temperature was estimated by using a composite damage mechanics approach. The transport properties in degraded concrete were calculated using multi-group diffusion equations, considering the temperature gradient and the damage induced by irradiation. Finally, all models were combined and implemented as a coupled radio-thermo-mechanical analysis to predict the long-term mechanical and transport responses of concrete. The work represents a comprehensive framework that can be used as user-defined material models combined with commercial finite element software products for future application of numerical analysis of concrete and reinforced concrete structures in nuclear power plants.
