This self-contained book focuses on the safety assessment of
existing structures subjected to multi-hazard scenarios through
advanced numerical methods. Whereas the focus is on concrete dams
and nuclear containment structures, the presented methodologies can
also be applied to other large-scale ones. The authors explains how
aging and shaking ultimately lead to cracking, and how these
complexities are compounded by their random nature. Nonlinear
(static and transient) finite element analysis is hence integrated
with both earthquake engineering and probabilistic methods to
ultimately derive capacity or fragility curves through a rigorous
safety assessment. Expanding its focus beyond design aspects or the
state of the practice (i.e., codes), this book is composed of seven
sections: Fundamentals: theoretical coverage of solid mechnics,
plasticity, fracture mechanics, creep, seismology, dynamic
analysis, probability and statistics Damage: that can affect
concrete structures, such as cracking of concrete, AAR, chloride
ingress, and rebar corrosion, Finite Element: formulation for both
linear and nonlinear analysis including stress, heat and fracture
mechanics, Engineering Models: for soil/fluid-structure
interaction, uncertainty quantification, probablilistic and random
finite element analysis, machine learning, performance based
earthquake engineering, ground motion intensity measures, seismic
hazard analysis, capacity/fragility functions and damage indeces,
Applications to dams through potential failure mode analyses,
risk-informed decision making, deterministic and probabilistic
examples, Applications to nuclear structures through modeling
issues, aging management programs, critical review of some
analyses, Other applications and case studies: massive RC
structures and bridges, detailed assessment of a nuclear
containment structure evaluation for license renewal. This book
should inspire students, professionals and most importantly
regulators to rigorously apply the most up to date scientific
methods in the safety assessment of large concrete structures.
