PLASTIC BUCKLING OF A STEEL LINEAR ENCASED IN A CONCRETE CYLINDER

The inelastic buckling and postbuckling performances of a steel liner encased in a rigid concrete containment vessel are studied by taking a strip of unit width from a pattern - either rectangular or diamond - along the circumferential direction in such a way that the strip will have the maximum deflection of a buckled panel. The complete load-deflection curves are obtained and the effect of initial imperfections is also included in the curves. A design criteria can be obtained for the linear to maintain its integrity under accident conditions. A simplified spring model is used to calculate the maximum shear displacement and the corresponding shear force of studs at buckling. A design analysis procedure is developed from the limit and the ultimate design conditions and can be used to determine the liner thickness, stud sizes and stud spacings in both the axial and circumferential directions.
