Abstract

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.
