Seismic Restraints
Sample of seismic analysis of NPP piping with
use of different types of seismic restraining
These can be divided into two categories based on the duration of loading.
o
Sustained loads
These loads are expected to be present through out the plant
operation. e,g. pressure and weight.
Occasional loads.
These loads are present at infrequent intervals during plant
operation. e,g. earthquake, wind, etc.

SECONDARY STRESSES:
These are developed by the constraint of displacements of a structure. These
displacements can be caused either by thermal expansion or by outwardly
imposed restraint and anchor point movements. Secondary stresses are selflimiting.
PEAK STRESSES:
Unlike loading condition of secondary stress which cause distortion, peak
stresses cause no significant distortion. Peak stresses are the highest stresses
in the region under consideration and are responsible for causing fatigue
failure.

Service Limits
ASME BPVC establishes four Levels of Service Limits Loading for each
component or support. These Service Limits may be designated in the
Design Specification and defined as different Levels (Levels A, B, C and D).
The NCA-2142.4 gives the following definition of these Service Limits:
Level D Service Limit. Level D Service limits are those sets of limits which
must be satisfied for all Level D Service loading identified in the Design
Specification for which these Service Limits are designated. These sets of
limits permit gross general deformations with some consequent loss of
dimensional stability and damage requiring repair, which may require
removal of the component from service. Therefore the selection of this limits
shall be reviewed by the Owner for compatibility with established system
safety criteria (NCA-2141).

Seismic Input
Seismic input was defined in the form of the generic broadband floor
response spectrum. The excitation is considered as uniform for each of the
spatial directions. For purposes of the actual evaluation three levels of
seismic excitation are considered: low, moderate and high. Each level of
excitation was obtained by multiplying the spectrum acceleration on the
coefficients 1, 2 and 3, respectively.
Three artificial accelerograms were generated for the use in the frame of
Time History Analysis. Duration of each record is 20 sec, time step is 0.01
sec.
For an equivalent static method a seismic input was defined in the form
of the distributed inertial load applied for each spatial direction. Load vector
was calculated as a product of peak spectrum acceleration amplified on the
coefficient of 1.5 times the piping mass. Then, combined seismic response
was obtained by SRSS rule.
